Ningxia Night Market 寧夏夜市 - Top 3 Night Market in the City - Taipei Taiwan 2025

Ningxia night market is hard proof that the Taiwanese love to be crowded together: here, two rows of stalls running up wide Ningxia road are unnecessarily pushed close together to create a narrow walkway between them.

Ningxia is located near historic Dadaocheng and Dihua Street, one of the most interesting neighborhoods for wandering and street photography in Taipei.

This is a great choice for a quick and easy night market experience, or if you are traveling in Taipei with kids (but it still gets packed, so do come early). Running from the traffic circle on Nanjing West Road north to Minsheng West Road, the southern portion features several children’s games, balloon darts, and so on.

By far the most popular stand in the market, with a line starting before they even open, is the Michelin recognized Liu Yu Zai deep fried taro balls 劉芋仔芋餅. They only sell two items: taro only balls, and taro balls stuffed with salted egg and pork floss.

Ningxia’s other Michelin selection night market stall is Rong’s Pork Liver (豬肝榮仔), located near the northern market entrance, specializing in pork liver soup. In 2019, Fang Chia Shredded Chicken on Rice (方家雞肉飯), found right next to Rong’s Pork Liver, was added to the list.

For a relatively small night market, Ningxia packs in a lot of great food. The deep fried oyster/shrimp and balls (蚵嗲) and traditional mochi and also market favorites.

It’s a 5-10 minute walk from Zhongshan MRT station to the southern end of Ningxia, or from Shuanglian MRT station to the northern end. If you happen to be coming in on the yellow MRT line then you can also walk from Daqiaotou Station in 10-15 minutes.

This market is one of the 3 best in the city and worth an evening of your time.
