Itinerary

  1. Shilin Night Market

    2 hours Admission included

    Skip confusing queues and explore Shilin Night Market like a local! Walk through the historic 200-year-old Cixian Temple under glowing lanterns, then dive into Taipei's most authentic street food classics. We handle all ordering and language barriers so you can enjoy a delicious, stress-free cultural feast!

  2. Jiantan Historical Temple

    15 min Admission included

    Originally built in 1796, this temple to Mazu (Goddess of the Sea) was completely burned down during a local clan war in 1859.

    Rather than giving up, local residents rebuilt the entire district in 1864, placing this temple at its absolute center. Food stalls began gathering around its steps to feed worshippers—sparks that literally created the world-famous Shilin Night Market!

    You’re standing at the birthplace of Taipei's street food culture!
