Fengjia Night Market, Taichung

Crowds pour under the neon arch of Fengjia Night Market in Taichung on a December evening in 2019. The market grew up beside Feng Chia University in the 1960s and is often called the biggest night market in Taiwan, with well over a thousand shops and stalls by some counts. That scale is the reason to come: you can eat for hours without repeating yourself. Graze on grilled sausage tucked inside sticky rice sausage, stinky tofu and whatever the newest snack craze is, and pace yourself, because the next block always has another queue worth joining.
