Overview

On this experience you'll explore Taipei's most authentic night market Yansan with a knowledgeable Local Host, getting away from the crowds for a taste of the real Taipei! There’ll be hardly a tourist in sight at this no-frills spot, instead you’ll find the most authentic food in the city and crowds of locals picking up dinner on the way home or enjoying some street food on a veranda after work.  There’s no showy cooking techniques or blazing flame cooked noodles, but there are delicacies here that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. With a Local Host by your side, eat your way around Taipei’s best kept secret and discover the dishes that the locals really eat.

Meeting points

Your host will meet you at Song Shan MRT station exit 5. Alternatively, after booking, you can adjust the meeting point to fit your preferences with the help of our Experience Planners.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

A fun night market tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Alice contacted us before our tour and made suggestions as far as our options to get to Songshan from our hotel. She was in constant contact making sure that we can find each other easily. Alice asked us what we liked, made recommendations as far as the different foods, talked with the vendors to make sure we weren’t getting cheated. We found her to be personable, considerate and pleasant to be with. I’d highly recommend Alice and this tour. It would be hard to go to the night market alone and not be able to communicate with the vendors. Plus if you want to buy anything you need to bring Taiwan dollars.

Wonderful tour!

Dragon was wonderful and we would recommend her for any tour! She was knowledgeable and kind and was fun to be with!

Great food tour!

Published on Feb, 2024

We loved the food tour at the night markets. We visited two markets - one smaller and one larger. It was a great way to get a sense of the culture and taste amazing food. Our guide Charlotte was great - she took us to the best food stalls, provided background on the places and food, and made the tour fun and relaxed. She was flexible to accommodate our interests and very generous with her time. We definitely recommend this tour!

Cindy is an amazing guide

Published on Feb, 2024

This tour was very memorable because my guide, Cindy, is extremely knowledgeable not only about Taipei but about Taiwan as a whole. Her prodigious grasp of history and of current events in Taiwan provided a wonderful backdrop to the sites and places that we visited. She brought me not only to attractions frequented by tourists but also to other interesting, less-crowded places. I highly recommend this tour and suggest that you ask for Cindy as your guide.

A sense- fulfilling evening! Food, sounds, activity!

Published on Feb, 2024

Our guide, Cindy, was excellent! She knew all of the places to go! It was Chinese New Year’s Eve, and though some places closed early, she made the best of it! She is most knowledgable about the city, night market, and various foods. Cindy made sure that each of us had something we would like.
