The Taoyuan Tourist Night Market was started a long time ago. In the beginning, it was centered around Jingfu Temple along Zhongzheng Road and the lanes on either side, therefore it was also known as the Zhongzheng Road Night Market. Gradually, it extended from Zhongzheng Road to the corner of Sanmin Road, but due to its obstructing the traffic, the market was relocated twice. In 1988, it was finally moved to the area between Beipu Road and Zhengkang 2nd Street and was renamed the "Taoyuan Tourist Night Market," which is where it current stands.

Taoyuan Tourist Night Market covers a total length of about 3Km with around 265 stalls. Most stalls are focused on traditional cuisines and snacks. Local snacks from all regions can be found here, Taiwanese style cuisine, stir-fried fresh seafood, desserts and ices, braised foods and grilled snacks.
