Garden is the flagship on its scheduled nights. Dadong owns Monday and Tuesday, Wusheng is the traditional local pick, Xiaobei Chenggong is the low-crowd alternative, and Siaobei is the daily, rain-proof fallback.

City-specific notes

  • Tainan night markets commonly operate on rotating days, so the website should prioritize 'Open tonight' over a static ranking.
  • Dadong Night Market split into adjacent Dadong and Dadong East sections in 2023. Store them as separate places in the database but present them as one visitor destination.
  • Xiaobei Chenggong Night Market and Siaobei Tourist Night Market are separate places and must not be merged.
  • Garden Night Market's current official listing includes Friday, while older and some third-party listings still show the historical Thursday/Saturday/Sunday pattern. Show a same-day verification warning.
