Once you have been around Taiwan for awhile, you would soon realize the night life of Taiwanese people. During the summer, the days are always hot and uncomfortable. This is why the people chose to spend their days inside and their nights out where the weather isn't so hot. Because of this reason, there are many night markets that doesn't close until one in the midnight.
One of a famous night market is Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) where there are places to shop and places to eat. It is usually crowded with people, cars and motorcycles(scooters). One of the scene you might see in Taiwan is a parking lot FILLED with motorcycles(scooters). This is not a surprising scene. People in Taiwan believe riding on motorcycles(scooters) are more efficient and less polluting than driving a car.
Also, there are many stores, resturants and theaters that are still open for those "night owls" in Taiwan. There are also karaokes that would keep these young "night owls" entertained.

Definitely not here, where everything shuts down at 5. It's like lockdown mode. You go at 4:30 and it's teeming with people. 5:00, dead...like a creepy zombie movie.
