When people today speak of Shilin Night Market, they typically mean the 20,000-square-meter area bounded by Wenlin Road, Dadong Road, Jihe Road, and Anping Street. Comprised of more than 1,000 street vendors and more than 300 storefronts, the market attracts 15 – 20,000 people daily and is Taiwan ’ s top night market.
不過，現在一般人所稱的士林夜市，還涵蓋了文林路、大東路、基河路、安平街等方圓 6,000 坪內，聚集了一千多個攤販和三百多家店面，每晚吸引 1.5 ~ 2 萬人潮，堪稱全台夜市的「龍頭」。
