Overview
Founded in 1987, Raohe is Taipei's oldest night market, with about 300 stalls along a single 600m-long street, giving it a tidier feel than Shilin. At the entrance, the Michelin Bib Gourmand-listed Fuzhou Pepper Bun stall always has a long line for crispy pepper buns baked in clay ovens. Lamb skewers, shaved ice, oyster omelets, and Taiwanese sausages fill out the offerings, and at the far end stands the colorful Songshan Ciyou Temple. Free admission. A 1-minute walk from MRT Songshan Station, Exit 5.
Opening Hours
Daily 17:00-24:00
Travel Tips
The pepper buns (TWD 60) sell out fast — queue around 6 PM. Pair your visit with the cafes and workshops at nearby Songshan Cultural Park.
