Local Markets｜Experience the Warm Flavors of Zhonghe, Yonghe & Banqiao
To truly understand a city, start from its markets.At Zhonghe Shengli Market, vendors greet customers by name, serving hot soy milk, fried snacks, and bento meals — the authentic breakfast of local residents.
Just a turn away, Huaxin Street Market is filled with exotic spices, where Burmese immigrants bring curries and sour-spicy noodles, transforming Zhonghe into a “Little Southeast Asia.”
By dusk, Liancheng Evening Market shifts into after-work mode — braised snacks and fresh juices become the daily comfort for tired commuters.
When night falls, Lehua Night Market in Yonghe and Nanya Night Market in Banqiao light up New Taipei’s evenings. For travelers, these aren’t just places to eat — they are urban parties where sausages, grilled corn, and sizzling oyster omelets create the symphony of Taiwan’s night life.
Alley Cafés｜Coffee & Dessert Hideouts in Zhonghe, Yonghe & Banqiao
Cafés are always the best pause point on any journey.In Zhonghe, Lin Ju Café offers sunlight streaming through old walls, with tiramisu carrying a grown-up sweetness; while tucked inside an industrial area, PELOSO COFFEE ROASTERY fills the air with light-roast aromas, a gathering spot for coffee enthusiasts.
For those seeking stillness, Kohi Hausu Roaster offers minimalist interiors and calm corners perfect for writing or reading.
Across the bridge in Banqiao, coffee becomes art. YUYU Pâtisserie’s fruit tarts and mille-feuille cakes turn birthdays and dates into rituals; while Merci Crème, a three-story renovated house, invites repeated visits with its warm light and soft cake rolls. For travelers, these cafés are not just about coffee, but windows into Taiwan’s everyday lifestyle.
Photo Walks｜Golden Hours of Everyday Taiwan
From 3 to 6 pm, the golden light makes every scene camera-worthy.At Zhonghe No.4 Park, children play and elders chat — capturing Taiwan’s most genuine daily life.
Climb up to Hongludi Fude Temple, where incense drifts skyward, overlooking thousands of lights — one of the most moving nightscapes in Taiwan.
In Banqiao, Cihuigong Temple is alive with crowded squares, street snacks, and temple festivities — a vivid stage of religion and daily rhythm intertwined.
For photography lovers, these scenes are not just snapshots, but the heartbeat of a city.
Night Drinks & Late Bites｜A Different Story of Taiwan’s Nightlife
When the daytime bustle fades, Taiwan’s streets show their true soul at night.In Banqiao, WarmFlow serves cocktails infused with fruits, herbs, and tea, inside a minimalist yet modern lounge.
In Yonghe, Dozoku Izakaya Club welcomes guests with wooden counters, seasonal dishes, and homemade plum wine — intimate enough for one, yet warm for long-time friends.
For travelers, these corners reveal more of Taiwan than any nightclub: a bowl of late-night noodles or a crafted cocktail is enough to open the door to Taiwan’s nightlife.
At the end of a journey, we all want to take something home.
In Yonghe, Wang’s Pastry Shop is famous for its handmade mung bean cakes and taro pastries, a festive must-have with lines every season.
In Zhonghe, Hong Yi Bakery’s pineapple-skin salted egg yolk pastry is a beloved Mid-Autumn delight, crisp yet fragrant, remembered by locals as a “taste of happiness.”
For international travelers, these pastries are more than desserts — they are edible stories of Taiwan.
