Come to Snake Alley to get your fortune told by some of Taipei's mystics.
Description:
Taipei's Huaxi Street night market, also known as Snake Alley, was once a seedy red light district. Snake Alley is one of the oldest areas of Taipei and a must-see for adventurous eaters. The smallish two-block market is home to several restaurants serving up snake and turtle in various presentations, as well as several strange drinks, including deer penis wine and snake blood vodka. Even if you don't plan to partake, it's worth going for the experience and a few pictures.
