According to the report of "China Times News Network", the crowd of Shilin Night Market, mainly tourists, has dropped sharply, and the grand occasions in the past are no longer seen. Su Wenshan, chairman of the Shilin Business District, said that the business of Shilin Night Market will be so bleak, and it is all "thanks" to the current fruit stall.

According to Dongsen News, in the past, there were so many people visiting Shilin Night Market that they had to wear the chest and put on the back. Compared with the current situation, there were very few people, especially the 114 stalls in the underground food street were even more miserable. The store that could accommodate 50 people was only a group of customers left to eat, and some shops simply closed down and rested.

It is understood that Shilin Night Market had exceeded 100,000 passengers in a single day in the past, but now even on holidays, only 10% of the passengers are left. Among them, Wenlin Road is a hardest hit area, with as many as 27 stores rented. For 43 square meters of stores, the monthly rent in 2014 was as high as 390,000 yuan (NTD, the same below), with nearly 9,000 yuan per square meter, but now, the monthly rent for similar stores has declined to about 150,000 yuan.

Silin Business District Chairman Su Wenshan pointed out that fruit stalls are the biggest murderer in the decline in Shilin Night Market passengers, and they are afraid that they will rekindle again. In addition, many operators have poor taste, quality, ingredients and service attitudes in order to compete for the table turnover rate, which also makes consumers on the island feel that Shilin Night Market has "deteriorated".

However, in comparison, the South Airport Night Market emerged in this wave of store closures, with performance growing against the trend by 30%. Local vendors said that they were affected by the epidemic, but the impact was smaller than other night markets. In addition, the South Airport stalls have a variety of nature and many flavors. Merchants without chain and repetitiveness have their own characteristics, and each has its own customer base, so it is relatively stable.
