Borough Market hasn’t got a patch on Shilin Night Market in Taipei. Instead of going to bars and pubs, the Taiwanese congregate at night markets, so it’s also a great place to get a feel for local life. Shilin was one of the best I went to and it’s great for sampling Taiwan’s delicacies from stinky tofu and pearl tea to oyster omelette and Shilin sausages. The market extends down rabbit warrens of streets and is also great for picking up cheap Converse trainers, clothes and gifts.

Great review and almost all correct except for the MRT stop. This stop is near to NTU and the market in Guting. Shilin is up on the Red lin to Danshui and the nearest MRT stop is Jiantian one stop before Shilin MRT. The night market is right across the main road from the station in what looks like a low rise multistory car park. Take exit 1.
