The Shida Night Market (Chinese: 師大夜市; pinyin: Shīdà Yèshì) is a night market in Da'an District, Taipei, Taiwan. It is located near National Taiwan Normal University, whose name in Chinese is pronounced phonetically as Shida.[1][2][3]
Shida night market was a very popular night market given its unique shops, restaurants and fashionable clothing stores. However, as the area Shida night market occupied is close to National Taiwan Normal University, it has always been a place that many intellectuals called home. Due to resident complaints regarding the noise, trash, and people the night market attracted to the area, as well as government rezoning efforts, Shida night market is now much smaller than it used to be.[4]
Even though it is much smaller, Shida night market still retains its unique feel compared to other night markets.[5]
Many fashion accessories are sold here by a variety of businesses. Pork buns, pineapple buns, and crepes can also be found. Prices are relatively low, due to the large number of students that shop here.[6]
