Traditionally adorned in Chinese lamps, the Huashi market is beautifully lit up. The area was a partial red light zone before the government banned prostitution in Taiwan. The place is now a tourist attraction, especially with Japanese tourists, who flock here for snake soup. Loud and lively—the market is apt to watch local night life, especially when haggling over prices. Shops selling traditional Chinese remedies and noodle bars are found in plenty.
