大稻埕到寧夏夜市：一個傍晚的夜市行程
Overview
Walk Dadaocheng's Dihua Street in the late afternoon, then follow the light to Ningxia Night Market. Oyster omelets, taro cakes, braised pork rice and tofu pudding follow, one stop after another. The two are about 500 meters apart, so it is all on foot; Yuan Huan Pien is closed on Mondays, so pick another day for this route.
Opening days and hours change, so check before you set out.
Stop by stop
Browse the dried-goods and herbal shops of the old street; Xiahai City God Temple was completed in 1859 (Chinese Wikipedia: residents began funding it in 1856). Late-afternoon light is best for photographing the old street.
About 500 meters (10 minutes) east of Dihua Street. Stalls open around 17:00 and it is still quiet.
At this stop
The mid-market stall; Michelin lists it as open from 16:30 and closed on Mondays.
At this stop
Egg-yolk taro cakes and crispy taro balls fried to order; the line is usually long, so join it first and wander while you wait. Reported to open from 17:30.
A small bowl of braised pork rice with the egg-pocket melon soup balances the fried food. Reported to open from 18:00.
At this stop
Finish with a warm bowl of tofu pudding with peanuts or red beans.

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 dawn soy milk at Huashan Market, walk past Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, then eat soup dumplings and beef noodles around Yongkang Street. Most of it is walkable; Fu Hang is closed on Mondays, so on that day start at Yongkang instead.
6 h 45 min5 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.
