How to Get to Luodong Night Market: Parking Fees, Station Walks & Buses

Walking from Luodong Station is usually simplest. From the transfer station, compare an 18-minute walk with the day's limited buses; drivers should check official live parking before entering the market streets.

The market wraps around Zhongshan Park. The railway station is closer than the coach terminal; drivers get a better result by checking live availability first instead of committing to one car park too early.

Train to Luodong Station

Leave from the front, Gongzheng Road side; navigation shows about 10 minutes to the park.

Allow extra time for crossings, rain, crowds and luggage.

Open walking directions

Intercity coach to the transfer station

The walk is about 18 minutes; Red 2 is only a limited weekend alternative.

On weekdays or at night, walking or a short taxi is usually more predictable.

Drive

Check all five official live listings, then choose according to your approach from north or south.

A live count can change before you arrive and never guarantees a space.

Compare the five car parks

Check official live parking before town

Luodong's official tourism site publishes remaining-space counts for five car parks and nearby junction cameras. It says parking updates roughly every minute and traffic images roughly every two seconds, so check before entering the one-way market area.

WaterEdge does not scrape, cache or republish the current counts. The button opens the official page in a new tab.

Compare the five official car parks

All five sites below appear on Luodong's live parking page. Every walk is measured to the same point—Luodong Zhongshan Park, 58–60 Minsheng Road—so the comparison does not mix market entrances.

Choose by travel situation

Choose by travel situation

First remove any nearly full options using the live page. Then decide by walking distance, approach direction and the needs of your group rather than treating one car park as an absolute winner.

01

Minimise walking

Luodong Multi-storey and Minsheng Building both currently route at about 280 m / 4 min to the shared entrance.

02

Start with a larger facility

Gongzheng Underground has the highest verified listed capacity at 351 spaces, but availability is never guaranteed.

03

Arrive from the south

Nanmen Underground can avoid crossing the market core before parking; allow about 750 metres on foot.

04

Arrive from the north

Split north by side: check Gongzheng Underground from the west, and Cangqian from the east or station side. Cangqian has both capacity and third-party map-status conflicts.

05

Rain, children or older travellers

Start with the four-to-six-minute options, while remembering that each still has an outdoor section after the exit.

06

The closest option is full

Do not circle the one-way core; switch to a same-direction alternative before entering the market streets.

Where the stations, market and car parks sit

With Zhongshan Park at the centre, Luodong Multi-storey is west, Minsheng Building east, Gongzheng northwest, Cangqian northeast and Nanmen southeast. Luodong Station and the still farther-east transfer station are east of the market; Gongzheng Road runs east–west. Use live navigation for each turn.

Walk from Luodong Station

Google Maps currently shows about 750 metres / 10 minutes from Luodong Station to the shared Zhongshan Park entrance, mainly along Gongzheng Road.

  1. 1Use the front, Gongzheng Road side rather than walking around to the transfer-station side.
  2. 2Head west on Gongzheng Road and follow the walking route into Tianjin Road.
  3. 3At Zhongshan Park, continue to Minsheng, Gongyuan or Minquan Road for your chosen stalls.

The route time excludes station exits, signals and crowds. Add time for rain, luggage, wheelchairs, pushchairs or a late-night return.

Open the walk from Luodong Station

Walk or take a bus from the transfer station

Luodong Transfer Station is east of the railway station. The same destination routes at about 1.3 km / 18 minutes, mainly via Minsheng East Road.

  1. 1Walk west toward the railway-station area, then continue on Minsheng East Road.
  2. 2At weekends, check whether a northbound Red 2 happens to match your arrival.
  3. 3On weekdays, at night, in rain or with large luggage, compare the walk with a short taxi.

Red 2 does not run daily and route 281 finishes before the main dinner period, so a bus stop is not the same as frequent service.

Route

Buses to Luodong Night Market

For this short trip, a bus is most useful when a departure happens to connect, the weather is poor or someone cannot walk far. This guide links to live queries instead of embedding a timetable.

紅 2 · 宜蘭轉運站-南方澳

July 26, 2026

Red 2 currently runs Saturdays and Sundays. From Luodong Transfer Station, board toward Yilan Transfer Station and alight at Luodong Night Market (Zhongshan Park); iBus also flags reservable trips.

iBus

281 · 羅東-仁山植物園

July 26, 2026

Route 281 toward Renshan Botanical Garden stops at the market, but its current last departure from the terminal is around 16:00, making it unsuitable as an evening shuttle.

iBus

Base fare

Yilan's official local-transport page currently lists NT$20 cash adult fare and NT$15 adult fare by stored-value card. Confirm the chosen route in iBus.

  • Bring exact change; no change is given on board.
  • Tap EasyCard, iPASS or icash both when boarding and alighting.

What to do when weekend parking fills

What to do when weekend parking fills

Use the official live page to narrow your choices, then select a backup before the one-way market streets remove easy options.

  1. A

    Check official spaces and traffic before entering central Luodong.

  2. B

    If your first choice is nearly full, choose a same-direction alternative while still outside the core.

  3. C

    Do not repeatedly circle Xingdong, Minsheng and the one-way market streets waiting for a vacancy.

  4. D

    If all five main facilities are tight, switch to verified outer parking, a taxi or public transport; this guide does not name unverified lots.

  5. E

    In rain or with children, older travellers or luggage, prioritise the outdoor walking distance over nominal capacity.

FAQ

Luodong Night Market transport FAQ

These answers use sources rechecked on 27 July 2026 and one consistent walking destination.

Which car park is closest to Luodong Night Market?

To the shared Zhongshan Park entrance, Luodong Multi-storey and Minsheng Building currently both route at about 280 metres / 4 minutes. Your actual closest option depends on the exit and target stall.

How much does parking at Luodong Night Market cost?

The five car parks on Luodong's live page are currently listed at NT$30 per hour. The entrance and payment machine take precedence if the rate changes.

Where can I see live remaining spaces?

Open the Luodong tourism site's parking page. It says remaining spaces update about once a minute; WaterEdge does not republish the current number.

How long is the walk from Luodong Station?

The current walking route is about 750 metres / 10 minutes, mainly along Gongzheng Road. Signals, crowds and luggage can add time.

How long is the walk from Luodong Transfer Station?

The current route is about 1.3 km / 18 minutes, mainly along Minsheng East Road.

Is there a bus from the transfer station to the market?

Yes, but with important limits: Red 2 currently runs only at weekends and route 281 ends before evening. Check iBus before relying on either.

Are the nearby car parks all open 24 hours?

The official large-car-park table currently lists these five as 24H, but the latest entrance notice should always take priority.

Which car park is better in rain?

Compare Luodong Multi-storey, Minsheng Building and Gongzheng Underground first, then decide using live availability. Each still requires some outdoor walking.

What should I do when weekend parking is full?

Switch to a same-direction backup before entering the one-way core. If several facilities are tight, use verified outer parking or public transport instead of circling.

Do the car parks have height limits, mobile payment or EV charging?

The official overview does not fully list height limits, mobile payment, EV charging or daily caps. Check the operator's latest notice or the signs at the entrance.

Sources and update notes

Fees, capacities, listed hours, bus stop order and fares were reopened and checked on 27 July 2026.

Transport facts checked

Every walk uses Luodong Zhongshan Park, 58–60 Minsheng Road, as the destination in Google Maps walking mode.

The five fees and 24H listings come from Luodong's official page; entrance notices take precedence.

The same official page shows both 150 and 121 spaces for Cangqian. Its capacity is therefore left unknown and excluded from capacity ranking.

Two navigation-source differences remain: Luodong's official page gives 33 Qingtan Road for Nanmen Underground while Google Maps currently shows no. 30; the official live page still lists Cangqian at 41 Cangqian Road while Google Maps marks that place permanently closed. This guide retains the official addresses and defers operating status to the official live page and entrance notices.

Fees, capacity, hours, bus services and walking routes can change. A live count does not guarantee a space on arrival.
