Just about every place in the world has one, and people in Taiwan are witness to that since the night markets here are world-famous. Local and foreign residents2 alike also enjoy shopping at the numerous open-air3 markets scattered throughout the various communities.

Spread over 35 acres5, the market is divided into 27 sections that include more than 15,000 vendors selling countless products from all over the country. An average of 200,000 potential buyers wander each Saturday and Sunday through its maze of stores selling goods that include art, antiques, electronics6, clothes, and even live animals.
