History

In the 1950s, there had been many food stalls stationed in Dagangpu area of Sinsing District collectively known as Dagangpu Night Market (大港埔夜市; Dàgǎngbù Yèshì). Since then, the night market has been developed into a large-scale market known as Liouhe Night Market.[3] Recently the market has begun selling halal foods at its stalls. In 2019, the government provided subsidies to a number of stalls of the night market to encourage them to apply for halal certifications from the International Muslim Tourism Industry Development Association.[4]

Transportation

The night market is accessible by walking distance west from exits 1, 9, and 11 of the Formosa Boulevard Station of the Kaohsiung MRT.[5]
