Located in Hualien City’s 6th Redevelopment Zone, two horizontal roads and one vertical road surround the solar city: Futing Night Market Street, Street of Chinese Cuisines, and Street of Indigenous Cuisines. The over 400 food stands have helped increase the popularity of Hualien’s tourism with its spectacular snacks, games, and performances since the summer of 2015. When coming to Hualien, both the locals and tourists visit Tungtamen Night Market to try the various street dishes. Since the end of 2015, the Market has included Ziqiang Night Market. The 10-something food stands from Ziqiang Night Market have joined Tungtamen Night Market as the fourth block, following Futing Night Market Street, Street of Chinese Cuisines, and Street of Indigenous Cuisines. Many food stands are old stands that have long enjoyed great popularity in the Hualien district. These stands have helped attract more gourmets and loyal customers. We recommend you spend some time visiting the Night Market on time and make the already lively Tungtamen Night Market even more vibrant.
The Ziqiang Night Market was combined to the Dongdamen Night Market in 2015. After a few dozens of stalls from the Ziqiang Night Market joined Dongdamen, Ziqiang Night Market has become the fourth block of Dongdamen Night Market after the Fuding Night Market, Street of Indigenous Cuisines, and Street of Chinese Cuisines. As many stalls from Ziqiang Night Market are highly popular and have a long history, they attract the visit of connoisseurs and loyal customers, making the already bustling Dongdamen Night Market more popular.
Dongdamen Shopping Area
The Dongdamen Shopping Area around the old Taitung Line railway linking to the Dong Da Men Night Market connects the 100-year-old shopping area (Dayu Street, Yixin Street), Street of Tourist Souvenirs, Xingang Street, Jieyu Street, and old railway pedestrian area, with a strong cultural atmosphere.
There are many famous local shops and specialty street food hawkers in the 100-year-old shopping area. In the Street of Tourist Souvenirs, visitors can buy various Hualien specialties great for self-use or gifts. Xingang Street is the hub of many popular street foods to satiate the stomach of people with different dishes from breakfast to supper. Jieyu Street is famous for cafés with an artistic mood and shops selling cultural and creative things.
The old railway pedestrian area was part of the Taitung Line penetrating Hualien City to the coastal railway main station. Today, stalls start their business in the evening selling clothes, ornaments, handmade items, etc. on simple racks and tables for visitors to watch and try. There are also young people giving singing and dancing performances around, making this compact pedestrian area full of the young vigor and cultural passion.
