The Dongdamen Night Market or Tungtamen Night Market (traditional Chinese: 東大門夜市; simplified Chinese: 东大门夜市; pinyin: Dōngdàmén Yèshì) is a night market in Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan. It is the largest night market in the county.[1]
Name
[edit]Dongdamen means big east gate in English due to its location at the eastern edge of Hualien City.[1]
History
[edit]The area where the night market stands today used to be the area of the old train station. The night market was opened in July 2015.[2] On 3 June 2019, the night market was engulfed in flame, which started about 1 a.m. The fire damaged the 660 m2 area of the night market and burned down 32 stalls.[3]
Architecture
[edit]The night market was constructed as part of the 6th rezoning area.[1] It spreads over an area of 9 hectares and consists of Futing Night Market (Chinese: 福町夜市) for Taiwanese cuisine, street of Taiwanese Indigenous cuisine (Chinese: 原住民一條街), Ziqiang Night Market (Chinese: 自強夜市) and street of Mainland China cuisine (Chinese: 各省一條街).[2][4] The night market also features a center plaza, a tourist information center, an ecology pond and a lookout tower.[1]
