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.

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.

Xichang St. Tourist Night Market & Longshan Temple - Taipei/台北
It is dinner time and I was walking south along ZhongHua Rd. (中華路/中华路) without a map until I reached Guilin Rd./桂林路 where I turned right until I saw the first sign of a night market: Xichang Street Night Market/西昌街觀光夜市. Actually I was looking for the Snake Alley/HuaXi night market. It was nice that I stumbled across the famous Longshan Temple/艋舺龍山寺 too. And afterwards I found what I was looking for - Guangzhou Street Night Market and Huaxi Night Market/華西街夜市.

Bangka Night Market is located in Guangzhou Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City, or Wanhua Night Market. It covers Guangzhou Street, Zhangzhou Street and Xichang Street (also known as Guangzhou Street Night Market, Zhangzhou Street Night Market and Xichang Street Night Market). Due to its location in the city center and the nearby scenic spots of Longshan Temple and Huaxi Street, it also attracts many diners and tourists. Although Wanhua Night Market is a night market, it is especially lively at night. In fact, it is also open during the day.

Skinning Snakes @ Huaxi Nightmarket, Taipei, Taiwan
Most shops along Snake Alley won't allow you to take pictures of video, not sure if this owner knew I was doing it or if he even cared. There wasn't much activity going on around anyways.
These weren't what we ate after, these snakes were going to be made into stew/soup after.
