Kaohsiung has many night markets of all sizes—some frequented mostly by locals, others popular with tourists. This time, we’re introducing Workers' Night Market, one of the night markets especially beloved by Kaohsiung residents. Located near Minquan Road and Yide Road in Qianzhen District, close to Workers’ Park and Fuxing Elementary School, some people even call it Yide Night Market.

The variety of stalls is extensive, with a focus on local snacks. By 6 PM every Monday evening, many vendors are already setting up to welcome the nighttime crowd. It’s easily accessible via Exit 2 of Shijia Station on the Kaohsiung MRT—perfect for grabbing a bite or picking up daily necessities after work. Walking along Yide Road, you’ll find numerous small stalls lined up, and you’ll want to stop at almost every one. But realistically, you can probably only try about four or five in one go. Some of them are already quite famous and may have been covered by the media, but the snacks featured here aren’t necessarily the most well-known—they’re just the ones that local fans often eat and highly recommend. See which one becomes your favorite!
