Huaxi Night Market 萬華區 - “Snake Alley” - Taipei Taiwan 2025

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.

Many shops in the market are long-standing establishments that have become part of Taiwanese culture and history.

Many Taiwanese have a negative view of Snake Alley, possibly due to its historical reputation and the controversial nature of some of its offerings.

Overall the market doesn’t have a lot to offer in the way of street food and a visit to the more popular markets is recommended over this ine.
