Taipei City Ximen Market is a shopping mall at the edge of the Ximending pedestrian area, next to Ximen Honglou. Its stalls sell snacks, food and things to buy, with local brand bakeries lined up among the stalls. It sits close to Ximen MRT Station and stays open late, and events such as the annual lantern festival are held there. At night more people head toward the pubs and the night market.
