Huaxi Night Market aka Snake Alley is now considered politically incorrect and only if you order a snake meal or glass of snake wine will a vendor surreptitiously skin a live snake in front of your eyes.
Huaxi is the oldest tourist destination in Taiwan and enter market through its Chinese traditional gate lit with red hanging lanterns. Only two-blocks long, the night market in Wanhua District was once a legal red light district (the Marine did spot a few prostitutes) and does serve local snacks besides turtle blood and meat, most of which were not to my taste.
