About this audio guide
This guide to Linjiang Night Market in Taipei follows a stall that has kept the same secret braising liquid simmering since 1965, when this neighborhood was still rice paddies and a road for soldiers' families. It traces how the market predates its own street, Linjiang Street was not paved until 1979, and went by the name Tonghua for decades before the city made the current name official in 2001. You'll hear about a Michelin recognition that came and later quietly disappeared, and how close the market sits to Taipei 101 without ever chasing its glamour. Listen for the steam rising off that same pot as you walk the alley at dusk.
