RE: Travel with me #118 : Ximending (西門町), Taipei!
What a great post. Beautiful photos. I loved the Street Art and your animated gif showing all the sides of that building is a lovely addition.
I have only seen Taipei in old Taiwanese movies from the 80s. What a difference!!! 😃
Thanks for sharing.
hi trincowski, nice to see you here ! I was realllly impressed with the street art, and more so by the fact they are a welcome part of the neighbourhood. Normally these things would be covered up quickly back home in China, but evidently not so in Taiwan. There was a period of history where Taiwan had a lot more attention, particularly in the booming 70's and 80's where the entertainment industry featured Taiwan and Hong Kong quite a lot. To my surprise, Taiwan seems like it hasn't changed much from then (not that I was around).
