Live in Taiwan, you will never miss up with delicious night markets because this island mix with different histories and ethnics so our night market is kind of food heaven. However, there is another kind of market that symbols the local history we called “Cattle Market (牛墟市集)”. In the past, this kind of market is gathering for farmers to buy and sale cattle for farming. People came to a regular place several times a month to make cattle business and also sale the things produce or use for farming. In Japanese colonial era, there were more than eighty cattle markets around Taiwan.

This summer I went with Youth Travel to Easton Taiwan, that is one of the best trip I joined ever! We enjoyed three days in Fonan (a small county of Hualain, the A-mei aboriginal called “Cilamitay” means large roots).
