Taiwan’s night markets – a photo essay

The night markets in Taiwan are some of the best we have come across during our travels through Asia. They are extremely popular with the locals and offer a huge variety of wonderful snacks, shopping and entertainment. Around 70 night markets are found across the whole of Taiwan, and we found pretty much all of the ones we visited were so popular you could barely move around parts of it!

We spent 3 weeks travelling around Taiwan in February 2019 and photographed several of their famous night markets. There are lots of markets in Taipei at night and we visited Shifen, Huaxi, Rahoe, Liaoning and Ningxia Night Markets. Outside Taipei we went to Tainan (Garden Night Market) and Kaohsiung (Liuhe Night Market). Here are some of our favourite travel photography moments from the markets:
