About Ximending in Taipei

Located in the heart of the Wanhua District, Ximending is famous as one of Taipei’s top shopping districts. The streets here are packed with all kinds of shops, from thrift stores to trendy clothing outlets and souvenir stalls to the latest cosmetic stores. Whether you’re after unique vintage finds or the latest fashion, you’ll find it all in Ximending district.

While it’s known for pop culture and youth vibes today, Ximending actually has a rich history. It was first developed during the Japanese colonial period and has long been a commercial and entertainment area just outside the West Gate (西門 or Xi Men). You can still see reminders of the past in places like the Red House Theater, which is now a cultural spot hosting artists, performances, and LGBTQ+ events.

Ximending became Taipei’s first pedestrian zone and grew into a popular theater district in the 1930s. By the 1950s, it was THE place to be. Later on, as the city’s focus shifted east toward today’s Taipei 101 area, Ximending lost some of its buzz, until 1999, when the government brought back the walking street concept.

Today, the Ximending shopping district is a real fashion lover’s paradise. You’ll find everything from big international brands to small boutiques catering to anime fans, vintage collectors, and streetwear enthusiasts. The neighborhood is full of self-expression, with locals showing off bold outfits, cosplay, and unique hairstyles, especially on weekends. At night, Ximending Night Market really comes alive. Around the Red House, the area turns into a lively, LGBTQ+-friendly zone filled with open-air bars, lounges, and cafés.

Best Time to Visit Ximending Walking Street

When’s the best time to explore the Ximending walking district? Well, that really depends on the kind of vibe you’re after, because this neighborhood has something going on at all hours of the day.

If you prefer to browse shops and soak up the atmosphere without the crowds, then weekdays are the best time to visit Ximending Walking Street. It’s a lot more relaxed, which makes it easier to wander through the Ximending shopping streets, pop into local boutiques, and take your time exploring all the little side alleys.

That said, Ximending really comes alive at night, especially on Friday and Saturday nights during the weekend. This is when the area turns into a buzzing hub of activity, and you have the so-called Ximending Night Market. It’s not exactly the same kind of night markets you have in Southeast Asia, there is just more life on the streets, and the neon lights really add to the atmosphere. Locals, tourists, and street performers all flock here, creating that electric nighttime energy Taipei is known for. The neon lights, crowds, and lively vibe make it one of the most exciting things to do in Ximending, especially if you’re into street food, people-watching, or just soaking up the action.

Evenings are also a great time to grab dinner or a drink at one of the many cafes or bars in the area. Just keep in mind that popular food stalls can get pretty crowded, so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

The Red House Ximending's top landmark

Things to do & see in the Ximending area of Taipei

1. Visit Ximen’s Top Landmark: the Red House

If you’re heading to the Ximending walking district, you can’t miss the Red House, one of the most iconic landmarks in Taipei. Built in 1908 during the Japanese colonial era, this striking red-brick building originally served as Taiwan’s first public market and was later repurposed as a theater. Today, it’s a beautifully preserved cultural site and creative hub, and one of the most unique things to do in Ximending.

The octagonal front leads into a cross-shaped layout, housing small shops filled with handmade crafts, souvenirs, and original pieces by local Taiwanese designers. It’s free to enter and makes for a great place to browse or pick up a thoughtful gift.

TRAVEL TIP | On weekends, don’t miss the outdoor creative market just in front of the Red House. From 1:30 pm to 10 pm every Saturday and Sunday, local artists set up stalls selling art, jewelry, and all kinds of unique finds.

2. Take a Selfie at the Instagrammable Rainbow Road

Right outside Ximen MRT Exit 6, you’ll spot Taipei’s famous Rainbow Road, a painted pride flag stretching across the pavement on Hanzhong Street. It’s become one of the most photographed spots in the Ximending area, and for good reason.

This colorful pedestrian crossing faces the Red House and marks the center of Taipei’s LGBTQ+ nightlife scene. The Rainbow Six Crossing was unveiled in 2019 to celebrate Taiwan becoming the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. Surrounded by neon signs and giant billboards, the whole area is super photogenic, especially after dark when the lights come on.

3. Find Cool Street Art on Graffiti Lane

Graffiti Lane (also known as America Street) is one of the few places in Taipei where street art is not just allowed, it’s encouraged. Tucked into the backstreets of the Ximending shopping district, this area is bursting with colorful murals, bold graffiti, and trendy little fashion stores.

Most of the art is clustered around the intersection of Lane 96 Kunming Street and Lane 120 Wuchang Street, close to Taipei Cinema Park, a creative space where young artists are given free rein to express themselves.

It almost feels like an open-air gallery, and it’s one of our favorite hidden corners in Ximending. Definitely bring your camera, the whole area is full of fun details and vibrant backdrops.

4. Wander through the energetic Tattoo Street

Tattoo Street is another cool, slightly offbeat spot to explore in the Ximending walking district. It’s a narrow covered lane lined with tattoo and piercing studios, most of which display their flash designs outside so you can browse before you commit.

The vibe here is edgy and hipster, with jewelry stands, fashion boutiques, and plenty of English-speaking staff if you’re actually thinking of getting inked. Even if you’re not in the market for a permanent souvenir, it’s still a fun and unusual place to walk through.

It’s a great example of how eclectic the Ximending youth district is. You’ll find everything from traditional tea shops to tattoo parlors within a few blocks.

5. Explore the neon-lit streets of Ximending Night Market

Ximending is one of those places that really comes alive at night. The whole Ximending walking street glows with neon lights, giant billboards, and crowds of people heading out for food, drinks, or just a wander. It’s not a traditional night market like you’ll find in Southeast Asia; for example, it’s more like a giant, open-air shopping mall mixed with street food, fashion stores, arcades, and performers all crammed into a grid of pedestrian streets.

You’ll see cosplayers posing for photos, dancers putting on shows, and musicians busking by the metro exits. Every few steps there’s something different, a stall selling giant fried chicken, a claw machine arcade, or a multi-story building packed with cafés and restaurants. It’s chaotic, but in a fun way.

Even if you’re not planning to shop, just walking through the Ximending night market is an experience in itself. There’s something about the lights, the energy, and the mix of people that makes it feel like the beating heart of Taipei.

Live street performance at Ximending Walking street in Taipei

6. Watch a Live Street Performance

One of the best things to do in Ximending at night is just wandering around and seeing what surprises you stumble on. More than once, we found ourselves stopping to watch a crowd gathering around a live street performance. It’s a big part of the Ximending night market experience.

Most of these shows happen near the main intersections of the walking district. You’ll spot musicians, dancers, magicians, and a few really talented performers doing full choreographed routines. On two separate evenings, we came across the same group doing a hoop performance to music, and it was honestly really cool to watch. Everything’s free to enjoy, but a donation is definitely appreciated (look for the hat or tip box). The whole area feels like an ever-changing stage, and catching a random live show just adds to the fun of exploring Ximending at night.

7. Shop at unique stores

Shopping is one of the main things to do in Ximending, and you’ll find everything from quirky souvenirs to trendy fashion and pop culture merch. Since it’s especially popular with Taipei’s younger crowd, a lot of the shops cater to current trends and niche fandoms. We mostly went hunting for some Taipei souvenirs (a magnet is a must for us), and also saw the classic pineapple cakes sold all over. But one thing we didn’t expect? Penis-shaped cakes in all kinds of sizes, shapes, and flavors as a major souvenir thing!

Besides the usual, a few shops in the Ximending shopping area really stood out. First is the massive Pop Mart. If you’ve seen those blind boxes all over TikTok or Instagram, this is the place for them. They’re mystery boxes filled with collectible figurines, super cute, and you never know which one you’ll get. The Labubu ones seem to be the most sought-after. The Ximending branch is the biggest in Taiwan, with four full floors to explore, and it’s become a bit of a local landmark.

Then there’s Don Don Donki, Taiwan’s first branch of the famous Japanese discount chain Don Quijote. It’s packed with Japanese snacks, beauty products, toys, and more. The store layout is a total maze, and with the catchy Don Don Donki jingle playing on loop, just walking through the aisles feels like part of the experience. We’ve seen these stores in Bangkok before but never went in. Turns out visiting one is kind of an event in itself.

8. Explore the intriguing Wan Nian Building

I first noticed the Wan Nian Building because of its unusual architecture, but it turns out to be one of the coolest places in Ximending for collectors, toy lovers, and pop culture fans.

This old-school shopping mall has been around since the 1970s, and it’s packed with gachapon machines, retro clothing stores, toy shops, and small arcades. If you’re into action figures or looking for rare collectibles, this place is worth checking out. We had a great time wandering through all the little shops, each one felt like a tiny treasure trove.

And don’t skip the basement food court. It’s nothing fancy, but the food is amazing. We can highly recommend Lao Shan Dong Homemade Beef Noodles and King Pork Wan Nian Store, both super tasty and very affordable. Visiting the Wan Nian Building is definitely one of the more underrated things to do in the Ximending shopping district.

9. Try Taipei’s famous Bubble Tea

You can’t come to Taipei and not try bubble tea. After all, this is where it was invented. Whether you’re into the classic pearl milk tea or want to try something wild like fruit teas, ice blends, or popping boba, you’ll find endless bubble tea stalls around Ximending.

Most shops let you customize your order down to the sugar level and ice amount, which is great. The most famous spot for bubble tea in the Ximending area is definitely the Xing Fu Tang Flagship Store. You’ll often see a line of people outside waiting for their fix. Another solid spot we liked nearby is 魚池貳壹-西門店 (Google Maps Location Here).

Not sure what to eat in Taipei? Join a Food Tour!

If you’re overwhelmed by all the food choices in Taipei, a guided food tour is the perfect way to start. It’s a fun, low-stress way to try a variety of local dishes while learning a bit about the culture, especially if it’s your first time here.

You’ll taste everything from dumplings to quirky desserts, explore markets and backstreets with a local guide, and pick up useful tips for ordering food on your own. It’s a great intro to Taiwanese cuisine—and a fun way to explore parts of the city you might’ve missed otherwise.

10. Step Inside the Hidden Taipei Tianhou Temple

This is exactly why we love Ximending—the mix of old and new. Right in the middle of all the shops and neon lights, you’ll find the Taipei Tianhou Temple, a peaceful escape devoted to Mazu, the sea goddess.

We must’ve walked past it a few times without even noticing. It was literally next to our hotel, Tomorrow Hotel, tucked between a couple of storefronts. But once you step inside, you’re transported into another world. Intricate wood carvings, incense smoke, and a quiet, sacred atmosphere—it’s a beautiful contrast to the noisy shopping streets outside.

The temple dates back to 1746 and was funded by immigrant merchants from Fujian, China. It’s actually one of three major Qing-era temples in Taiwan, along with Longshan Temple and Bangka Zushih Temple. If you’re in Ximending, it’s well worth a short detour.

Fun Themed 7-Eleven Stores in Taipei like Open-Chan DreamWorld branch near the Ximending walking district

11. Spot the Fun Themed 7-Eleven Stores

If you’ve followed us on YouTube, you know we have a bit of a thing for 7-Eleven. Those ham & cheese toasties in Thailand deserve their own fan club. Taiwan also has its fair share of 7-Elevens but with an extra twist: themed stores. As of early 2024, there are nearly 7,000 7-Elevens across Taiwan, and over 100 of them have a unique look & theme. From bright yellow Lay’s Crisps and Pokémon to Snoopy, Disney, and full-on pink Hello Kitty madness. Our favorite was the Open-Chan DreamWorld branch near the Ximending walking district, so quirky and fun to pop into for a snack or souvenir. You can try to catch them all on your visit to Taipei!

12. Lose All Your Small Change at a Claw Machine 

You won’t get far in Ximending without spotting a claw machine arcade, seriously, they’re everywhere. These neon-lit, music-pumping arcades are open 24/7, which makes them perfect for spontaneous fun. You’ll find the usual lineup of cute plush toys and mystery capsules, but also some unexpected prizes, from chips, snacks, electronic gadgets, even milk? We even had one right outside our hotel. Ximending probably has the highest concentration of these in all of Taipei, with the biggest collection of gachapon (Japanese capsule toys) tucked inside the Wannian Building.

Area around the Red House in Taipei

13. Grab a Drink in the LGBTQ+ Red House Bar Area

Just behind the historic Red House, you’ll find one of Taipei’s most relaxed and welcoming nightlife spots: Ximen Red House Bar Street. Lined with LGBTQ+-friendly bars, rainbow lights, and live music in the evenings, this alley is where the party slowly starts after dark. Most places have outdoor seating and a chill vibe, no traditional dance floors, just a good spot for cocktails and conversation. Happy hours run late, and if you head upstairs to the upper deck, you’ll get a great view over the neon-lit Ximending square, perfect picture spot!

Japanese-Era Ruins & the old bell tower on top of a hill at Nishi Honganji 

14. Explore Japanese-Era Ruins at Nishi Honganji 

Just a short walk from the Ximending hustle, Nishi Honganji offers a peaceful change of pace. Once the largest Japanese-style temple in Taiwan, it was sadly destroyed by fire in the 1970s, but some restored structures and foundations remain. The old bell tower still stands tall on top of a little hill, and one of the buildings now houses a traditional teahouse. It’s a quiet little corner of history tucked away in the city, and worth a quick stop if you’re nearby.

15. Catch a Movie on Ximending’s Cinema Street

Did you know Ximending has been Taipei’s go-to cinema district since the 1950s? These days, there are over 20 theaters in the area, with the biggest cluster along Wuchang Street, also called Ximending Movie Theater Street. Most films are shown in their original language with Mandarin subtitles, so it’s super accessible. You’ll find everything from IMAX blockbusters to indie films, and some theaters even host themed screenings or local movie nights. We actually watched one on our very first night in town. Post-flight exhaustion called for popcorn and a seat in the dark.

Bangka Lungshan Temple or Longshan temple in Taipei Taiwan

16. Visit the stunning Longshan Temple

This iconic temple is technically south of the Ximending area, but is easily combinable when you are in the area! Moreover, it’s a must-visit when in Taipei. The temple was built in the 1700s by immigrants from China’s Fujian province. It’s dedicated to Guanyin, the goddess of compassion. But you’ll also find many other deities here—including Yue Lao, the god of love and marriage. Locals come to pray for everything from health and luck to romance and family.

You will notice that many locals still come here actively to pray. Definitely on the weekends, it can be packed. Even though it gets crowded, the temple still feels incredibly atmospheric & it all just adds to the experience. You’ll spot dragon-covered bronze pillars, detailed carvings, and clouds of incense in the air. 

One thing we really liked was the small shop on the west side. They sell good luck charms and amulets for all kinds of occasions. We picked up a travel one—and it’s been with us ever since. Before you leave, check out the little waterfall fountain near the entrance. It adds a peaceful touch to this otherwise busy temple.

Bopiliao Historical Block with red brick heritage houses in Taipei

17. Wander through the red brick alleys of Bopiliao

Right down the street from Longshan Temple, you’ll find Bopiliao Historical Block. This quiet area is one of the best-preserved corners of old Taipei. It’s made up of red-brick alleyways and buildings dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

Walking through here feels like stepping into another time. The buildings were nearly lost until the city began restoring them in the early 2000s. Now they house small exhibitions & a heritage and cultural center that bring the past to life.

Inside, you’ll find displays about local culture, traditional medicine, and old-school classrooms. The architecture itself is worth a look—it survived Japanese rule, WWII, and decades of neglect. It’s not a big area, but it’s full of charm and history. 

Huaxi street night market in Taipei

18. Sample Street Food at Huaxi Street Night Market

Just a short walk from Bopiliao, Huaxi Street Night Market is one of the most interesting food streets in Taipei. Despite the name, many stalls open around 4 PM, perfect for a late-afternoon snack.

The market dates back to the 1950s. In the past, it had a reputation as a red-light district. It was also known as “Snake Alley” thanks to vendors selling snake meat and other exotic dishes. Thankfully, that’s all in the past. Today, the focus is firmly on great local food.

Some of the best eats here have even earned Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. Try Wang’s Broth for braised pork rice with a rich, savory sauce. Head to Chang Hung for steaming bowls of pork cheek noodles. Or grab a gua bao—pork belly in a fluffy bun—from Yuan Fang.

Huaxi connects to several other markets nearby, so it’s easy to keep exploring. You’ll find tofu pudding, grilled seafood, and loads of other local snacks. Come hungry—and curious.

Where to eat in Ximending

Ximending isn’t just for shopping and people-watching. It’s also one of the best places to eat in Taipei. Within just a few walkable blocks, you’ll find an incredible mix of Taiwanese classics, trendy snacks, cozy noodle shops, and even international bites. Here’s where to eat in Ximending:

🍢 Street Food & Local Snacks

Ximending Crispy Milk Donuts
We came across this tiny stall near Shinjuku Plaza completely by accident—just followed the long line. The donuts come out fresh from the fryer, crispy outside and fluffy inside, then dusted with sugar and milk powder. They’re made in small batches, so be ready to wait. But honestly, they’re totally worth it.

Ay-Chung Flour-Rice Noodles
You can’t miss this one. Ay-Chung is Ximending’s most famous street food stall, and for good reason. Their mee sua—thin rice noodles in a thick, savory broth—is topped with garlic, chili, and tender pork intestines. It’s quick, comforting, and surprisingly affordable. Yes, the line looks long, but it moves fast.

Taipei Shi Yun Fried Chicken
If you’re in the mood for crispy, juicy fried chicken, don’t skip Shi Yun. They’re known as one of the best fried chicken spots in Taipei, and we get the hype. The chicken is thinly sliced, yet somehow stays incredibly moist inside. They also serve deep-fried squid, tofu, fish cakes, and Taiwanese oden, so there’s plenty to try.

🍜 Noodle Shops & Comfort Food

Lao Shandong Homemade Noodles
Hidden in the Wan Nian Building’s basement, this place has been around since 1949. They’re best known for their beef noodle soup, which even earned them a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The broth is rich, the noodles are springy, and the beef melts in your mouth. Plus, you can grab cold side dishes right from the fridge.

Fuhong Beef Noodles
Another strong contender for Taiwan’s best beef noodle soup. Fuhong is a local favorite, and it’s open 24 hours a day. The broth is deep and comforting, packed with flavor, and the meat is generous and tender. If you’re traveling on a budget or need a late-night meal, this is the spot.

Ximen Noodle (西門麵店)
This old-school noodle shop has been serving locals for over 60 years. Their braised pork knuckle rice and cold noodles are both super satisfying. The place itself has a retro vibe and stays open all day and night—except Sundays. It’s a great pick for simple, hearty Taiwanese comfort food.

Ramen Nagi
If you’re craving Japanese food, this popular ramen chain is just steps from Ximen Station. It’s located inside a shopping mall, but don’t let that fool you. The space has a warm, wooden interior and a bar where you can watch the chefs in action. The broth is thick and rich, and there are plenty of ways to customize it. It totally hit the spot when we wanted something different.

🍚 Rice Dishes & Local Favorites

King Pork Wan Nian Store
We stumbled across this one while wandering the Wan Nian building’s basement, and the delicious smell pulled us right in. They specialize in Taiwanese-style pork chop and chicken leg rice, served in big portions with rich, savory sauce. It’s filling, flavorful, and very affordable—no wonder it’s packed with locals.

Gan Mei Alley
This casual brunch-style eatery lets you try a variety of Taiwanese dishes in one sitting. They’ve got everything from danbing and xiao long bao to braised pork over rice. It’s a great place to sample a bit of everything, especially if you’re short on time or traveling with others who want to try different things.

Taiwanese Breakfast at 麥而美
Breakfast in Taiwan is honestly one of our favorite things about the food scene here. At this cozy local spot near our hotel, we went all in on danbing—an omelet crepe you can customize with cheese, bacon, or scallions. We paired it with warm soy milk tea and never looked back. Other classics to try: fan tuan (sticky rice balls), turnip cake, and fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk. So simple, but so good.
