About this audio guide
This guide to Ningxia Night Market in Taipei starts with bulldozers leveling Jiancheng traffic circle, Taipei's original round-the-clock night market, in 2001. It follows one family who had fried oyster omelettes there since 1965 and resettled nearby, naming their new stall for the circle they left behind. Down this narrow lane the pattern repeats, from a sixty-year-old beef tendon stall to a pork liver soup counter now run by a second generation.
