Longdu Shaved Ice
龍都冰菓專業家 · show this name to taxi drivers
An old Bangka shaved ice shop near Longshan Temple that moved from the Guangzhou Street night market to Heping West Road in 2020. Its eight-treasure ice piles beans, taro and rice balls cooked in the shop onto finely shaved ice. Bowls are generous and many people share one, so come hungry or choose a simpler bowl.

How to order, step by step
- Go to No. 192, Heping West Road Section 3. The shop has moved from its old address on Guangzhou Street
- Read the price board at the counter and choose a bowl, such as the eight-treasure ice
- Pay in cash
- Eat at a table inside. Weekends often bring a queue
What to order solo: The eight-treasure ice is the signature, about NT$90 in 2026, and it is a big bowl for one. The 'old four' ice with corn, barley, peanuts and taro is a simpler choice. Check the posted price.
Best time to go alone: Weekday afternoon. Weekends bring queues, and the room can feel warm on hot days.
