六合夜市
在那裡
The most popular and touristy night market, full of Japanese and Korean tourists. Lots of seafood, some local dishes but more stuff for tourists, from Turkish doner to "Thai" banana pancakes. Don't expect the food to be particularly good—the practice seems to be to display a tank of live prawns to prove how fresh they are, all the while sticking frozen ones on the grill. Open pretty much every day after 17:00/18:00. It's fun if you've never experienced a Taiwanese night market before, but in the end it's basically a tourist trap. For real local eats, turn right at the western end of the market and head north up Zili Road (自立路).
它的故事
六合國際觀光夜市,是南臺灣最早的行人徒步區和國際級觀光夜市,其前身為大港埔夜市。興起於1940年代末期至1950年代初期,以高醫醫院前身的原高醫六合門診部為中心,聚集於臺灣高雄市大港埔空地上的小吃攤,名列高雄最具代表性的夜市。自1987年起,高雄市政府每天傍晚六時至清晨二時規劃六合夜市為行人徒步區,從此六合夜市開始邁入知名的觀光夜市。台灣十大觀光夜市網路投票,在交通部觀光局「2010年特色夜市選拔活動」中,高雄六合夜市拿下網路票選「臺灣人氣第1名、最環保、最友善、最有魅力、最好逛的夜市」5項冠軍,評審決選拿下「最有魅力夜市」頭銜。六合夜市因陸客旅遊的影響,僅剩少部份是初期的原始商家,其他新設攤位或店家幾乎變質成賺觀光遊客的「假性攤商」,完全失去本土地夜市感。2016年後陸客來台數量銳減、加上有些攤商專以高物價坑殺觀光客的惡性循環衝擊下從門庭若市變得門可羅雀。
