Hualien Dongdaemun International Tourist Night Market (or Dongdaemun Night Market) is located in the downtown area of Hualien. It opened in 2015 and so far, it has entered about 400 stalls. However, under the epidemic of Wuhan pneumonia, I actually visited the night market and looked at the sparse people. And understand the media reports of the integrated night market, and write my personal thoughts into this article. Welcome everyone to discuss together.
Origin of Dongdaemun International Tourism Night Market
Hualien Dongdaemun International Tourism Night Market includes Ziqiang Night Market, a street in each province, a street for aboriginal people, and Fuding Night Market. The city government didn’t know what was involved, and unified the night markets from all over Hualien here. As a result, they encountered Wuhan pneumonia. The original popularity and buying sentiment fell instantly, and it was a pity that the "night market" was rarely seen during the visit.
Dongdaemun Ziqiang Night Market
There have been media reports that the Hualien (King) City Government merged with Hualien City’s night markets, the most famous of which is the Ziqiang Night Market in Ji’an. More than 20 years of visibility.In May of last year, the fire caused the loss of 10 vendors in this area. At the end of April, I saw that the vendors were redecorating and needed some time to recover.
▲ I miss Thailand so much.
One street in each province
The next step is to design a "street in each province", dividing China's 36 provinces into 18 booths, using red bricks to build the structure, supplemented by red lanterns, advertised the sale of provincial cuisine, intended to attract Chinese tourists?Or Taiwanese consumers?The actual visit did not see the so-called Chinese cuisine from various provinces. On the contrary, it was full of doll machines and clothing stores. We had no intention of seeing more and shopping, and went directly to the aboriginal street.

Aboriginal Street
This area is naturally a variety of aboriginal dishes, from mountain pork, millet mochi, millet wine, horse tea, barbecue, etc. If you want to eat here, it is absolutely feasible. Among them, I personally recommend the "Gao Daxia Seafood BBQ" located at the corner of the street. Bar", the ingredients are fresh and the price is reasonable. A family of three enjoyed dinner here. Wendy can also sip on cold beer. Unfortunately, he forgot to buy the grilled corn from Lin Kee on the opposite side and will only wait for the next trip to visit.
▲ He has been running after the projection.
▲ Millet mochi is delicious, brown sugar and peanut powder match the taste.
▲ This stall of pork blood cakes is also delicious, the boss gives coriander not soft, push it!
▲ This is the Gao Daxia BBQ I recommend.
▲ The atmosphere is great while drinking beer and eating barbecue.
▲ It's all delicious, so I won't explain much.
Turf Park and Fukucho Night Market
In the middle of Dongdaemun Night Market, there is a large turf area and public toilets. The lighting installations are very beautiful at night. It is a location where tourists often take pictures and check in.The Fukuding Night Market on the side is the original Nanbin Night Market. Booth 130 is already in place for eating and shopping. Most of them are common snacks and coin-operated facilities/stalls. I am afraid that the little burger will not return to the hotel, cheating and temptation. Take him away from the scene.
▲ Remember to take photos in the turf area.
Conclusion
The night market is a display form of local eating life and group display. Will the benefits of sightseeing in a scattered place be worse than a concentrated one?And looking at the content of these night market stalls are also highly repetitive, I can’t feel what Hualien’s "biggest" night market means to convey, then look at the huge screen above the night market, play the invited Chinese Internet celebrity promotional video, and spend a new amount of money. Ask people for marketing, local government budgets are really easy to use.
As for night market guides, popular stalls or lazy bags, there is no research at all. Just look at the stall introductions and what people buy, and you can find the delicious snacks in your mind, right!And the media comment "When the local faction changed its boss in Beijing-the landscape of Taiwan reshaped by Lu Shimingguang"It’s worth reading this article for everyone to understand why the Dongdamen Night Market’s low buying sentiment requires Minister Chen Shizhong to visit for rescue and sightseeing.
