Jiantan Historical Temple
Originally built in 1796, this temple to Mazu (Goddess of the Sea) was completely burned down during a local clan war in 1859. Rather than giving up, local residents rebuilt the entire district in 1864, placing this temple at its absolute center. Food stalls began gathering around its steps to feed worshippers—sparks that literally created the world-famous Shilin Night Market! You’re standing at the birthplace of Taipei's street food culture!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taipei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taipei is not rushed.
Is Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taipei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taipei and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taipei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Taipei?
+
On Outty we rank every Taipei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group: Yehliu, Jiufen & Pingxi Day Tour from Taipei, Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Taroko Gorge National Park Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Taipei?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Taipei?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats?
+
Included: Ordering and Language support; Snacks; Local Tour Guides; Fortune Telling; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Meals; Tips; and Transportation fees for the MRT. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Taipei.
What languages is Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Taste Shilin Secret Night Market Eats if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Taipei. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
