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.

WANHUA DISTRICT, TAIPEI - Daytime activities in Taipei
Me and Jed (my boyfriend) are on a 6-day stint in Taiwan. We arrived around lunch time at our AirBnB so we decided to do some daytime activities at the heart of Taiwan -- Taipei.
Jed can't help to eat the famous XL HotStar fried chicken the size of his head while I ate torched beef...in broad daylight. ????
My favorite part of this day would have to be touring around the Bopiliao Historical Block - a restored alley from the Qing dynasty. The Longshan temple is just on the next block so it's a win!
Enjoy!

Japanese busker at Wanhua Road Night Market, Chiayi, Taiwan (4K)
A short song by a Japanese busker that I met at the Wenhua Road Night Market in Chiayi City, Taiwan. I was talking to him before I shot this video and I gave him some spare change that I had. He was really nice, unfortunately I can't remember where he told me he was from in Japan...

Wanhua on the rise, Datong ranks poorest in Taipei
For many, Taipei''s Wanhua District conjures up images of ramshackle houses, criminal elements, and poverty. But according to the latest government data, Wanhua is no longer the least affluent district in the city. The dubious honor now goes to Datong District.Data show that the average household income in Wanhua increased from 1.02 million NT in 2014 to 1.21 million NT. That''s the biggest uptick seen in all of Taipei. Experts attribute the rise of Wanhua to the fast growth of its Ximen shopping area. Wanhua could also be getting a boost from the renovated Beimen and plans to build an MRT line in the neighborhood.
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.

Taiwanese Buddhist Street Preacher at Taipei's Sin Central. Instead of haranging people with how they are sinners, this preacher just spent the whole night yelling out Buddha's first name. This is only half a minute of it.
