Huaxi Street Night Market, Wanhua District, Taipei
Huaxi Street Night Market or Snake Alley (Taipei, Taiwan)
Snake Alley / 華西街夜市, also known as Huaxi Street Night Market or Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market / 華西街觀光夜市 is a market in Taipei, Taiwan. The market is located near the Mengjia Longshan Temple as well as other night markets located on Guangzhou Street, Wuzhou Street and Xichang Street.
The Huaxi Night Market is a two-block long night market in Wanhua District, the oldest district of Taipei, Taiwan. It contains stands serving local snacks, and restaurants that serve traditional Taiwanese dishes and many delicacies including snake blood and meat, turtle blood and meat and deer penis wine, which are not normally found anywhere else. Many stands sell various snake delicacies and drinks, hence its nickname Snake Alley.
Many Taiwanese have a negative view of Snake Alley, which was once a legal red-light district. Adventurer Charley Boorman visited and tried some of the delicacies such as snake penis and turtle testicles on offer during his television series By Any Means 2 in 2009.
The Huaxi Street Night Market has a history of over 50 years. Until the 1990s, it was a red light district, with pornography shops and strippers congregating along the two sides of these streets. Prostitutes could be easily found in the brothels in the area, where they waited for customers in plain view. In 1991 the Taiwanese government outlawed prostitution.
Snake Alley (HuaXi St.), Guangzhou St. & Wuzhou St. Night Markets - Taipei/台北
Wanhua was once a famous red light district and full of brothels where (I assume mostly) Taiwanese/Chinese men went to eat snake before heading to one of the brothels. Snake, besides others, is considered in China/Taiwan to stimulate and enhance sexual potency. When prostitution was made illegal the restaurants serving snake were also on the decline.
These days the four (incl. XiChang St.) night markets are all connected and serve popular local delicacies, including oyster omelette, stinky tofu, dried cuttlefish, pig trotters, glass jelly, and desserts such as ice cream, peanut or red bean cake.
The Lively Huaxi Night Market (Snake Alley) in Taipei
Huaxi Night Market aka Snake Alley is now considered politically incorrect and only if you order a snake meal or glass of snake wine will a vendor surreptitiously skin a live snake in front of your eyes.
Huaxi is the oldest tourist destination in Taiwan and enter market through its Chinese traditional gate lit with red hanging lanterns. Only two-blocks long, the night market in Wanhua District was once a legal red light district (the Marine did spot a few prostitutes) and does serve local snacks besides turtle blood and meat, most of which were not to my taste.

Antes de todo quiero decirles que estoy totalmente en contra del maltrato animal.Quiero aclarar que ninguno de los animales que aparece en el video fue maltratado ni usado para el consumo humano.
Tuve que adentrarme en el restaurante y pedirme algo del menú para poder grabar dentro del restaurante y poder mostraros mi experiencia.
Fue una experiencia rara pero a la vez fue una experiencia que nunca que se me olvidará en la vida. Repito de nuevo, estoy en contra del maltrato animal en general, pero tengo que reconocer que en este lugar trataban mejor a los animales que en simples tiendas de animales o zoológicos...y eso me sorprendió porque me esperaba todo lo contrario.
Bueno, espero que os guste el video y mi experiencia comiendo sopa,veneno,sangre,...de serpiente.

The city comes alive at night(:
The Huaxi night market is pretty big, definitely try the pineapple pastry!
The Ximending district is pretty similar to Seoul's Myeongdong. It's where the youth population goes and there's a lot of hip, name brand stores. There's also a lot of cute stores and restaurants to check out!
Edit: The Underground mall I went to is actually called K Underground mall but it's near the Taipei main station^^

ABOUT US
After getting married, we realized that owning a big house and working at a big company wasn't our definition of success and it certainly wasn’t making us happy.
We realized that we are our happiest when we’re traveling and learning about different cultures, so we decided to follow that passion and go on an adventure around the world. We still have a lot to learn about life and happiness, but we want to share our journey and experiences with you, and hope to inspire you to follow your passion.

Xinfu Market (01:00)
On Guangzhou Street’s south side across from Bopiliao is the old Xinfu Market building, fronted by scores of traditional-style market stalls in narrow, covered lanes. The building, opened in 1935, was Taipei’s first modern public market, housing stalls selling fresh fish/meats, fruits/vegetables, tobacco/alcohol items, Chinese cakes/pastries, etc.
Its heyday was in the 1950s, after Taipei’s population had exploded following the migration of the Nationalist government from mainland China in the late 1940s. Increased competition, notably from the dense grid of stalls that grew before it and later the then-novel supermarkets of the 1990s, led to its eventual abandonment. Now thoroughly renovated, it was reopened earlier this year, housing a history display, café, and other facilities.
The distinctive old building has a horseshoe shape and a narrow central courtyard that facilitates ventilation and light entry. The exterior is Art Deco, and the radial and stair patterns that were avant-garde when it opened have been retained.
Xibenyuan Temple Square (03:40)
Though in a busy area, close to MRT Ximen Station and 7~10 minutes away from the Bopiliao/Xinfu sites on foot, this heritage Pure Land Buddhist temple complex feels hidden away, partially blocked from view by high walls. Built up in the years after 1922, Xibenyuan Temple was Taiwan’s largest Japanese-style Buddhist temple during the Japanese period. A fire in 1975 destroyed the Grand Hall and other key structures, only the Rinbansyo (temple abbot’s residence) and Tree Heart Hall (lecture hall) escaping.
Long left abandoned, squatters were evicted from the site and renovation efforts were carried out through the 2000s to restore the former glory of the complex, giving birth to a new city landmark. The stately Bell Tower stands atop a hillock at the square’s entrance. The brick-built Tree Heart Hall, once used for Dharma teaching, is now a space for art exhibits and temple/area history displays.
Tip: Savor premium Taiwan teas in the elegant Eighty-Eightea teahouse in the renovated Rinbansyo, rich in Japanese aesthetics, the large central room’s tatami flooring creating a Kyoto tea-ceremony ambience.

History of Taipei Snake Alley | Huaxi Night Market 台北華西街蛇巷
Huaxi Night Market and the Longshan Temple area is a territory I have never stepped in growing up in Taipei. It is a universal knowledge of the Taipeiers that this district is unsafe due to the prostitution and the lingering vagrants. Thanks to my friend, Leslie, who is generous to show me around the area and told me the brief history of this snake alley. I hereby strongly suggest the interested goers visit this night market in the evening in groups. I believe it gets much more interesting as the sky turns dark.
