Xi Men Ding

The local call it the Movie Town, or Movie district. Xi Men Ding is just a brief walk away from my hotel. A look at it made me felt as though I’m in Japan. Flashy neon light sign board, and large TV screen hanging on the side of the talk building.

Once you walk into the cluster of shopping district, you get lost in many interesting fashion boutiques for the young and hip. The only thing I regrated was that I didn’t spend more time to stay and explore Taipei city.

 

Things would get more interesting at night in this area. There’re different street that dedicated for different kind of things. I.e., there’s a street famous for renowned tattoo artist in Taiwan, and a street dedicated to selling all kind of costumes.

Next to the happening Xi Men Ding is the historical land mark, the red house. The name came about because of the red bricks being used for the structure of the building. It is said that this was the first ever theatre in Taiwan. Many plays and movies has been showcased in this building since long time ago. The building still stand out beautifully one part of Xi Men Ding.

That’s all for my remaining half-a-day in Taiwan. Now that I know there’re so much more things to explore in Taipei city. I shall focus on exploring just this part of Taiwan on my next trip here. Goodbye Taiwan, we shall meet again soon!
