The Liouhe Night Market (Chinese: 六合夜市; pinyin: Liùhé Yèshì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lio̍k-ha̍p-iā-chhī) is a tourist night market in Sinsing District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It is one of the most popular markets in Taiwan where seafood, handicrafts, clothing, knives, cameras and live animals are sold.[1][2]
History
In the 1950s, there had been many food stalls stationed in Dagangpu area of Sinsing District collectively known as Dagangpu Night Market (大港埔夜市; Dàgǎngbù Yèshì). Since then, the night market has been developed into a large-scale market known as Liouhe Night Market.[3] Recently the market has begun selling halal foods at its stalls. In 2019, the government provided subsidies to a number of stalls of the night market to encourage them to apply for halal certifications from the International Muslim Tourism Industry Development Association.[4]
Transportation
The night market is accessible by walking distance west from exits 1, 9, and 11 of the Formosa Boulevard Station of the Kaohsiung MRT.[5]
