Just like other night markets in Taipei, Huaxi St. Night Market provides local snacks and small seafood restaurants that serve delicious Taiwanese dishes. The biggest difference between Huaxi St. Night Market and other night markets is that there are a lot of stores selling snakes. Based on local beliefs, snake is a healthy source of food and is very nourishing for the human body. Snakes can be served in soup, wine, cooked dishes, and can also be made into medicine as well. At Huaxi St. Night Market, visitors are able to see live snakes from time to time. Some of the snake store owners at Huaxi St. Night Market even perform snake shows to attract visitors. Besides the snake fever, there are also stores that provide massage services at Huaxi St. Night Market. So why not enjoy a nice massage after having a taste of snake cuisine and the long day of shopping!

Huaxi St. Night Market and the nearby street markets recently organized into the large Monga Night Market, inlcuding the GuanZho St., WuZho St., SiChun St., Longshan Temple and Huaxi St. Night Market.
