Actually not really a night market
Ruifang Night Market or 瑞芳美食街 is actually not a night market. The Chinese name literally means Ruifang Beautiful Food Street. It's actually a day and night market or just a sort of a food court. I'm not sure if there's a real day or night market in Ruifang, but my girlfriend and I went to this one and let me share what we saw and the food we tried. We went here after we returned from Jiufen. It was already a bit late and we were hungry and had some time before the train would bring us back to Taipei city. See some photos:
MY IMPRESSION OF RUIFANG'S MARKET: Actually this food court has some good stalls that sell beef noodles. But at that time we didn't know that, we were walking around a little and choosing something we thought looked good. Well, it wasn't so good in the end, I'd say just normal. The food is cheap, though, so it's ok in the end. You don't stay hungry (40NTD is a little less than 1 Euro). I think if you happen to be stuck in Ruifang, rather try some of the street food outside.

Anyway, are those really intestines? Did you eat it?
@Gnetch: Ah, those spammers. Sometimes it's hard to keep up deleting them. And I didn't eat those intestines, nope :)
I never stay long enough in Ruifang during my 2 Taiwan trips, as it's just a transit point for me to go Jiufen.
Didn't expect such a vibrant little town, maybe I will devote 1/2 a day there the next time round.
Seeing those pics of the market, I'm reminded of the times we went hunting for food inside Shilin market. =p
@Shingo: Half a day would be too long, but 1h should be fine :)
Next time I'll make more pics of that mysterious river :)
