Night crawl · Kaohsiung
一個晚上逛兩座夜市：六合與瑞豐
Overview
Begin with gua bao in Xinxing, work through Liuhe Night Market, ride the metro Red Line four stops to Kaohsiung Arena for Ruifeng, and finish with a bowl of braised pork rice on Liwen Road. Ruifeng opens Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday and Chunlan Gua Bao is closed Sunday, so the best nights are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Opening days and hours change, so check before you set out.
Stop by stop
Open Tuesday to Saturday, 09:00 to 14:00 and 15:00 to 19:00. Order the assorted gua bao and choose your fat-to-lean ratio; cash only, and contact the shop directly if you want to book. Liuhe Night Market is a walk of a little over ten minutes.
Most stalls open between 17:00 and 18:00, so the crowds are still light. Walk the length of Liuhe 2nd Road and pick from seafood congee, salt-steamed shrimp, danzai noodles or stinky tofu; Sheng Yi's sausage-in-rice at No. 73 is easy to eat on the move, Wangpai douhua at No. 89 cleanses the palate toward the far end, and papaya milk finishes the walk.
At this stop
Take the Red Line north from Formosa Boulevard (R10) through Kaohsiung Main Station, Houyi and Aozihdi to Kaohsiung Arena (R14), four stops. Leave by Exit 1 and walk about two minutes to Ruifeng.
Open Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday. Start with the Angel chicken cutlet queue, then try Houshan Linji's fried-egg scallion pancake and Peng's braised spicy stinky tofu (reports differ on which days Peng's sets up, so check), followed by a chicken-wing rice roll and hand-made sweet potato balls, and finish with brown sugar bubble tea. Some stalls on the list come from Wikipedia alone, so follow the crowds on the night.
At this stop
About a 10-minute walk from the market and open until 22:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and straight through from 11:30 to 22:00 on Friday. Order the braised pork rice with a soft-cooked egg and a dish of braised cabbage. Cash only.

Keep going
Start with a bowl of braised pork rice in Qianjin, wander Yancheng's Milk Tea Street and an old noodle shop, walk past the Pier-2 warehouses, then ride the ferry from Gushan to Cijin for seafood. Best Monday to Saturday, since the Qianjin shop is closed on Sunday.
8 h 30 min6 stops
Five small stops between dawn and early afternoon along a short run of streets in West Central District: beef soup, milkfish congee, savory rice pudding, braised pork rice with side plates, and shaved ice to finish. Go on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, when every shop is open; most close on Mondays and Yuan Zai Hui also rests on Thursdays. Order small portions or share, or you will not make it to the end.
7 h 10 min5 stops
Warm up with a bowl of danzai noodles at Small Park in the late afternoon, then head about 1.5 km north to Garden Night Market for oyster omelet, sausage and stinky tofu. Both are open together only on Thursday to Sunday evenings; on other days try the breakfast trail instead.
