Wenhua Road Night Market Parking Guide (Chiayi)
Wenhua Road Night Market closes to traffic in the evening. Park at Wenhua Park lot (4 minutes to the market entrance, about 6 minutes to Yellow Girl) or Xishichang lot (about 5 minutes to Yellow Girl). Map, traffic-control hours, scooters and public transport.
Short answer: Wenhua Road becomes a pedestrian zone in the evening, so cars can't drive in. We recommend Wenhua Park Parking Lot: an easy surface lot, about 4 minutes on foot to the market's south entrance (Minzu Rd) and about 6 minutes to Yellow Girl. If it's full, use Xishichang Parking Lot, about 5 minutes from Yellow Girl.
Traffic control hours
During market hours, Wenhua Road between Minzu Rd and Zhongshan Rd is closed to cars, scooters and bicycles, usually 7–11 pm, starting from 6 pm on busy weekends and holidays. Follow on-site signs and Chiayi City Government notices.
