Night crawl · Taichung
一中到逢甲的夜市掃街
Overview
Begin at Yizhong Street with stinky tofu, fried chicken bites and Fengren ice in the late afternoon. Ride to Fengjia after dark for sausage in rice sausage and an egg crepe, and finish with a late bowl of braised pork rice on Jingcheng Road. Some stalls close one day a week (the Yizhong stinky tofu stall on Monday and Tuesday, the chicken bites and Fengren ice commonly on Tuesday), so Wednesday to Sunday is the safest; check the day before you go.
Opening days and hours change, so check before you set out.
Stop by stop
At 21-2 Yizhong Street; it opens in the late afternoon, and several guides give Monday and Tuesday as days off. Eat with the pickles and chili sauce.
At this stop
Fried chicken bites at 20 Yizhong Street; two guides give Tuesday as the day off. Alternate them with the stinky tofu.
At this stop
The street-corner ice stand at the mouth of Lane 3 off Yucai Street: sour-plum shaved ice with sweetened beans and ice cream, a cool break at halftime. Several guides give Tuesday as a day off and the hours are not consistent, so confirm first.
At this stop
Yizhong to Fengjia is about 5 km in a straight line, and farther by road, by taxi or bus. Queue at Guan Zhilin on Fengjia Road and choose original or garlic.
At this stop
Take a number on Fuxing Road, wait for your crepe to be made, and add the sweet-and-spicy sauce.
At this stop
Take a taxi to Jingcheng Road in West District (about 3 km in a straight line); Night School is open until 2:00, so finish with a plate of kòngròu fàn. Cash only.

Press Tab to move through the destinations. Use the arrow keys to move to a neighbouring destination, Enter to open its card and Escape to close it. Plus and minus zoom, 0 resets the view. When nothing is selected the arrow keys turn and tilt the map.
Keep going
Start with breakfast in the Second Market, walk past two old buildings on Zhongshan Road, have a pearl milk tea on Siwei Street after midday, then shaved ice at Yizhong, and end with braised pork rice at Night School. Two legs need a bus or taxi, but every stop is in urban Taichung.
11 h6 stops
Start with steamed dumplings on Gongzheng Street, move through mochi, wonton and scallion pancake with egg, and finish at Dongdamen Night Market at dusk. We could not find reliable hours for several of the shops, so call ahead or check their pages, and keep a fallback in mind.
10 h 30 min6 stops
Head south down the Huatung Valley from Ruisui to Yuli for milk, Yuli noodles, yokan and stinky tofu in a day. The ranch is about 21 km from central Yuli, roughly 30 minutes by car (estimated from OpenStreetMap routing); the valley's shops are far apart, so you will need a rental car or a train-and-taxi plan, and hours are best confirmed locally, ideally with a phone call in the morning.
