If you don't have to worry about getting lost when going to the night market, just go straight along the main road. Tip: The night market is crowded, it is recommended to bring a wallet and backpack keep in front, night market food can try a variety of small portions. The night view of the temple is actually very beautiful, and in some places there are free prayer cards or hand-painted guardians that you can take home.

There are authentic old-fashioned bean curd and taro ball shops near the night market. The dessert is the perfect ending! 📍Night safety: There are administrators in the temple, keep valuables well, carry a small amount of cash enough to use.
