Jilin Night Market has nearly 50 years of history and is located near Kaohsiung Hougong Station, adjacent to Kaohsiung Medical University, Sanmin Park, and Dalian Leather Street. Centered around Jilin Street, it extends to surrounding areas like Shiquan Road, Rehe Street, Yongji Street, and Shenyang Street, collectively known as the "Kaohsiung Medical University Business District." The night market primarily showcases small-eating and snack foods, offering a wide variety of delicacies such as steamed buns, fried chicken cutlets, braised dishes, shrimp noodles, hand-shaken drinks, eight-ingredient shaved ice, dumplings, and red bean pastries. Due to fierce competition and its academic location, it has become renowned for its inexpensive and generous portions without sacrificing flavor, making it the top dining choice for nearby residents, students, and office workers. In recent years, Jilin Night Market has also become one of the popular night markets for tourists, with daily visitors from hotels near Hougong Station walking to the market to savor authentic Taiwanese street food. From Rehe First Street of the market, looking east along the straight street, the central end features the towering 50-story Chang Hu World Trade Center, a unique urban landscape within the night market.
