An auntie at a night market stall asks if you have eaten yet, which here is simply how hello sounds. By evening the lanes of Rueifong Night Market fill with students and office workers trading news over snacks, ring toss and balloon darts, while couples and families stroll the lit banks of the Love River.
Beyond the night lights, ferries cross the harbor to the seafood stalls of Cijin, old port warehouses at Pier-2 hold art and live music, and temples ring Lotus Pond in Zuoying. The tropical climate brings hot, rainy summers and mild, sunny winters. A Local Friend walks at your side through all of it, letting you choose the turns while they fill in the stories.
