Night markets are a good place which people like to visit. Both Taiwanese and tourists enjoy going to this place, especially foreigners. People can find something special there. In night markets, visitors can enjoy shopping, find exotic foods, and learn about some foreign cultures.

First at all, a night market is a cultural place where visitors can find traditional Taiwanese culture. The oldest night market in Taiwan is Huaxi Street. In Huaxi, we can eat the foods which are odd and special. Snake meat is one example. We can drink snake blood and eat snake meat, which is believed to be good to our body. Therefore, when tourists go to Huaxi, they always try it.

Secondly, we can find some exotic foreign foods from other countries there. I think there are two most popular foreign foods in the night markets. One is Japanese Takoyaki, which can be found in Shilin Night Market. The other is the Korean dish, Kimchi rice cake. No matter adults or children, they like to eat it. Kimchi rice cake is a little spicy and a little sour. People can’t stop eating it once they taste its special flavor. People usually need to stand in line to buy Kimchi rice cake. I think it is good to eat in winter.

Finally, a night market is a good place for shopping. When tourists come to night markets, they may discover something special. If they like some goods, they can spend a little money to get them. Many people asked me why the night market is a good place for shopping. I told them because it is convenient. When I am tired from walking, I can take a rest and eat something delightful there. This is the reason why I like to shop at night markets.

To sum up, people can get many things in the night markets, where they can buy traditional and foreign objects and enjoy various kinds of foods. There is no denying that I like to go to night markets. Nevertheless, I always spend too much time there. I don’t know whether it is good for me or not. But I enjoy many great foods and the cultural stuff there.
