台湾で最も盛大に祝う日、旧暦の元旦は「春節」と呼ばれ、毎年、日付が変わります。2019年は2月5日。この前日に当たる2月4日は、旧暦で1年の最後の日、大晦日に当たる「除夕」で、春節の連休がスタートします。都市から都市への移動は、年末の帰省ラッシュで鉄道も道路も航空も大変混み合います。この時期に台湾を訪れるなら「台北だけ」「高雄だけ」など1都市集中型の滞在にすると良いでしょう。旧正月の連休の間、台湾の多くの店舗やレストランが休業します。最近は旧暦の大みそかや元日のみを休業とする店も出てきましたが、一般的には大みそかから、旧正月の4日までの合計5日間が休みです。多くの観光スポットが大みそかは早めに閉館、その後1～2日休んで通常営業になるところが多数です。夜市は多くの店が連休に入りますが、近年では2日間ほど休業し、あとは通常通り営業する店もあります。夜市としては開いていますが、休みの状況はそれぞれの店によって違います。お目当ての店が開いていたらラッキー！くらいに思って行くか、または確実に開いているレストランでグルメを楽しむのが得策です。

The most celebrated day in Taiwan, the New Year's Day of the Old Calendar is called "Shun Festival", and the date changes every year. February 19 2019. The last day of this year, February 4 is the last day of the year, the New Year's Eve, which is the "Removal Day" of the New Year's Eve. The city-to-city trip is a year-end homecoming rush and the railways, roads and aviation are very crowded. If you visit Taiwan at this time, it is better to stay in one city, such as "Taipei only" or "Kaohsiung only". During the Chinese New Year holidays, many stores and restaurants in Taiwan will be closed. Recently, some stores have closed only the Old Calendar and New Year's Day, but in general, a total of five days from the New Year holidays to the fourth day of the Chinese New Year are closed. Many tourist spots are closed early, and there are many places where it will be normal business after a day or two. In the night market, many stores are open for holidays, but in recent years, they have been closed for about 2 days, and some stores are open as usual. Although it is open as a night market, the situation of the holidays differs depending on each store. If the store you are looking for is lucky! It's a good idea to go for a while or enjoy gourmet food in the open restaurant.
