Morning Markets in Taipei

Selling freshly caught fish in the morning marketThis is a list of some of the morning markets in Taipei. Taiwan's morning markets are ignored by most travel guide books, magazines and websites. In Taiwan, most families shop for fresh food in the morning markets two, three or even four times a week, that's how they get the freshest ingredients. Taiwanese people really care about fresh ingredients, for health and taste reasons, and because small homes don't have storage space – they want vegetables the day they are picked, noodles the day they are made, fish the day they are caught, and so on.

Ning Xia Night Market is probably the closest proper night market. It's about 25 minutes walk or two stations north on the metro.

As for day markets, I can't actually recommend any, because I don't know the day markets in that area well, but there are some nearby, such as the Ximen Market on the list above. 

Hope you have a great stay in Taiwan

Hi Jodie! I'm going to Taipei

Hi Jodie! I'm going to Taipei on February and I'll be traveling with my parents. Can you recommend a market which is the least crowded (around 7am) and with shops selling Taiwanese breakfast?
*I'm okay with any market as long it's not too far from the Train Station. =)
