Yizhong Street Night Market is a popular night market in Taichung. It's filled with TONS of delicious food stalls, small shops, and fun games. I was excited to cross it off my Taichung Bucket List and share this amazing experience with Gabriel with my friends from Bristol in October!

Unfortunately, I was having so much fun that I didn't prioritize taking pictures.

Yizhong Street Night Market is a popular spot for students since it’s located near schools and universities. It has a lively and youthful ambiance, full of energy and excitement.

So, expect large crowds, especially on holidays and weekends!
