Ximending Night Market - A Must Visit if in Taipei - Taiwan 2025

The district acquired the name "Ximen" during the Japanese Rule. At the time, most people lived in the city center, and Ximen served as a suburban recreational place. In 1896, the first theater, "Tokyo Pavilion," was inaugurated. In 1922, the area was formally named "Ximen."

After the nationalist government came to Taiwan in 1949, much more capital was introduced to this place. Other than movie theaters, department stores and other recreational business venues popped up. As soon as Zhonghua Shopping Mall was established, Ximen became the country's largest entertainment hub.

In the 1990s, businesses in Taipei started to move to the East District, Zhonghua Shopping Mall was demolished, and the main roads were being refurbished. These made Ximen quiet for a long while. It was only until MRT Bannan Line was inaugurated that Zhonghua Road transformed into the Champs-élysées Avenue of Taipei, as the city government planned.

Ximending Night Market, technically not a night market but a series of food stalls in the Ximending Pedestrian Area in Taipei City, is a bustling shopping and snacking district. It’s lined with shopping and restaurants for any taste. There are also many street food vendors offering local favorites. The area comes alive each evening and is a must visit if you are in the area.
