Illustrative Yanchong Night Market at 35 Rongxiang Street in Chaozhou Township, Pingtung County is a weekend market built around the brick chimney of a former paper mill, which gives the site its name and its most photographed landmark. Open every Saturday and Sunday, it draws visitors from Kaohsiung and other neighboring cities with a layout of six standing-only food zones where diners eat around large iron barrels repurposed as standing tables. The setup is fashionable and convenient, the snack selection leans toward Pingtung specialties, and the chimney backdrop makes the market a popular check-in spot for visitors who want food and photos in the same evening.

Illustrative Hengchun Night Market is a Sunday-only street market on Fude Road in Hengchun Township, Pingtung County. Small in scale but rich in local flavor, it lines both sides of the street with vendors selling duck-glass-noodle soup, egg-crisp pastries, fresh sashimi, and grilled seafood skewers at practical prices that draw tourists and Hengchun residents alike. Traditional game stalls and the calls of street hawkers preserve the feel of an old-school Taiwanese night market, making the Sunday-night visit a distinctive ritual for travelers who want to sample Hengchun's food culture rather than the more commercial scenes closer to Kenting's beaches.
