Shilin Night Market in Taiwan 

vs 

Pusan International Market in Korea

This is the second time to compare foreign markets to Korean markets. Today, I’d like to introduce you Shilin Night Market in Taiwan and Pusan international Market in Korea.

 Because Taiwan is so humid and hot, there are lots of night markets in the country . Each city has at least 2-3 markets. Is it different from Korea? But, there is a common thing between two markets. That is the places where foreigners visit a lot.

You can choose some tropical fruits you want and pay for them in Shilin Night Market. Also, youcan enjoy fried chicken at a low price. Do you know Taiwan is called the destination of Epicureanism travel? Really! There are lots of delicious food :-)

International Market is located in Pusan, Korea. It has a sad historical story. 

After independence in1945, many Japanese gained one place to sold war supplies before leaving Korea. This is how the market was formed. After Korean war, refugees gathered and made the market activated more. Some products were smuggled through Pusan port and the products were spread throughout the country. 

There are lots of delicious foods, too. Fishcakes and Danpatjuk, sweet red-bean porridge with small rice dumplings! A row of food carts line the street!

Do you think the Shilin Night Market and Pusan International market has something in common?
