Ximending Walking District

"Ximending is Taipei’s Harajuku/Times Square mashup: neon, billboards, street performers, and dense crowds of teens and tourists. It’s not where you’d want to stay all trip, but for a 2–3 hour wander it’s a great read on youth culture, fashion, and Taiwan’s pop sensibility. You can dip into manga stores, sneaker shops, small cinemas, and some surprisingly good food in side alleys (including excellent beef noodles). The main pedestrian core is car-free, so it’s chaotic but safe walking; you can let the kids drift a bit while still keeping them in sight. For your style, it’s a “see and move on” experience, but worth it once, especially in the evening."
