Huaxi Night Market is a covered night market stretching three blocks from south to north. It is the most famous night market in Wanhua District 萬華區.
This is the oldest district in the city, the original walled Old City of Taipei. The district also home to the famous Ximending shopping district, which is about 20 minutes away on foot.
The southern entrance to Huaxi Street Night Market, found here, is just a few minutes’ walk from Longshan Temple, the most famous and important temple in the city.
From around the 1970s to 1990s, Huaxi Night Market was essentially a red light district. Food stalls were added to feed to the workers and their customers. To add to the market’s allure, vendors started skinning snakes live for spectators. At the time, this was considered an essential experience for many tourists visiting Taiwan.
Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market, also known as Snake Alley, is a well-known tourist attraction in Taipei, Taiwan. It is open daily from 4:00 PM to midnight.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is the world’s longest single continuous rail line, spanning about 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok across eight time zones, vast taiga forests, steppe, mountains, and 16 major rivers.
Construction began in 1891 under Tsar Alexander III, with Tsarevich Nicholas II laying the first stone in Vladivostok. The project aimed to unite the Russian Empire, boost trade with Asia, and develop Siberia’s resources.

The premier service is the Rossiya train number 001/002, a comfortable firmeny train with renovated carriages featuring air conditioning, power outlets, USB ports, and showers in some cars. It offers first-class (two-berth), second-class kupe (four-berth), and...
