This is not the most popular district with tourists, but it is certainly up there, and this in no small part is down to the Shilin Night Market. This market is up with the Taipei 101 for “must-sees” upon visiting this great and modern city. As well as being one of the best night markets in the country and further afield, it is also one of the oldest, having been founded in 1899.
