Songshou Rd Night Market Mystery
So I'm heading to @Taipei next month, and I've heard Songshou Rd Night Market is amazing...but also a little chaotic. I'm planning on going on a Tuesday night – anyone know if the vibe is significant… more
Tuesday night at Songshan is still pretty lively, don't worry. It won't be as packed as a weekend, but it'll definitely have that buzzing atmosphere you're looking for. Think less shoulder-to-shoulder and more comfortably crowded. The stinky tofu...yeah, it lives up to its name. Prepare your nostrils. But it's also surprisingly delicious!

Better safe than sorry, especially when your phone's battery life is unreliable. Also, pack extra water – you'll need it.
