The quick read
Why go
Nanya is Banqiao's flagship, and its superpower is the clock: this market runs until two in the morning. When everything else is shuttered and you land late, or dinner somehow became eleven pm, Nanya is the answer. Take the MRT to Fuzhong and you are basically there.
It is a long, classic street market with the full mix: sesame oil chicken soup, pork rib soup, sausages, games, cheap clothing. The lane narrows as you get deeper in, which makes weekend prime time a slow shuffle. We think the shuffle is part of the fun. Not everyone agrees.
What to eat
- Xiaolongbao
- Sesame oil chicken soup

New to stinky tofu? Our guide to night-market food explains it and the other classics.
Where to find the top stalls
The market runs along Nanya East Road, about an 8-minute walk from Fuzhong MRT Exit 1. Since 2019, housing projects have replaced dozens of stalls in the middle and back sections, and some well-known eateries have moved.
Night-market stalls rarely have their own address. We describe each position only as our dated sources state it. If you cannot see it, show the sign text to a vendor nearby. Stalls move and hours change, so check before a special trip.
