Contents

Shida night market was a very popular night market given its unique shops, restaurants and fashionable clothing stores. However, as the area Shida night market occupied is close to National Taiwan Normal University, it has always been a place that many intellectuals called home. Due to resident complaints regarding the noise, trash, and people the night market attracted to the area, as well as government rezoning efforts, Shida night market is now much smaller than it used to be. [4]

Even though it is much smaller, Shida night market still retains its unique feel compared to other night markets. [5]

Features

Many fashion accessories are sold here by a variety of businesses. Pork buns, pineapple buns, and crepes can also be found. Prices are relatively low, due to the large number of students that shop here. [6]

The night market is accessible by walking 500m (1600ft) north of Exit 3 of the Taipower Building Station of the Taipei Metro.
