Ningxia Night Market

Often lauded by food critics as Taipei's 'purest' night market, Ningxia is a concentrated strip along Ningxia Road where 109 numbered stalls are organized in a central row that allows for a comfortable circular pedestrian flow. Taiwan's first 'Green Night Market,' it pioneered the grease traps and eco-friendly waste management systems that have since become the national standard. The standout innovation is the Thousand Year Banquet (千歲宴)—groups can sit at a traditional banquet table while the market association delivers 20 to 30 of the market's most famous dishes directly to them, turning the entire street into a single enormous restaurant.
