Best for
Food-focused evenings, smaller markets, casual crawls
Time needed
1–2.5 hours
Highlights
- Compact and easy to navigate (great for first-time crawls)
- Local neighborhood vibe with strong snack variety
- Easy pairing with Xinyi or Daan café neighborhoods
Why go
If the idea of a massive night market feels overwhelming, Linjiang (Tonghua) is a great alternative. It’s compact, lively, and easy to enjoy at a slower pace.
It also pairs well with the modern Taipei vibe nearby—think skyline strolls and dessert after.
How to do it well
Arrive a little early, do one scouting lap, then graze slowly. The goal is variety, not one enormous plate. Share when you can.
- Pick one anchor bite first, then snack around it
- Bring cash for small stalls
- Save room for something sweet at the end
Pairings
Treat this as your “easy dinner” after a neighborhood day—especially Daan and Xinyi.
- Daan cafés + park time → Linjiang night market dinner
- Xinyi skyline walk → Linjiang food crawl
