New life for a historic building
2019-12
Built in 1908, the Red House is an umistakable building in the middle of the largely modern-looking Ximending shopping district. Initially used as a public market, the red-bricked (hence the name) octaginal building has served a variety of roles, including a public market, bookstore, cinema, and theatre. In a way, it's reverted to its first role as it now serves as the centrepiece of a shopping centre. We found shops divided amongst a series of longitudinal two-storey buildings, and which focued mainly on artistically-designed themes, including jewellery, clothes, posters, and souvenirs. In a city that's quite devoted to a range of shopping experiences, it's nevertheless a nice place to spend an hour or tow happily browsing. -

Worth visiting - restored theatre
2020-02
This is a restored theatre that was built during the Japanese occupation. It is not far from the Ximending pedestrian area. Inside there are stalls with local craftspeople and designers selling very unique products from handmade jewellery to retro Taiwan clothes and crafts. It is all made in Taiwan mostly. If you want something not run of the mill as a souvenir , this is the place to go. There is also a small cafe. Drop in and have a look. Nice oasis from the outside world. -

At the beginning, thought it's just one of the normal historical museums. but when I step in I've realised they sell a lot of stuffs of cute design items and souvenir for travellers. those souvenir looked very unique, like you can only find in Red house. Highly recommend if you are happened to go ximending area. -

Historic building finds new direction
2020-02
The Red House was built in 1908, during the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) to serve as a public market. The Red House has been renovated several times. It is built of red brick, with external brick buttresses. This octagonal building now functions as a business incubator for various artistic enterprises. They sell their output, these souvenirs are better than the usual tat you find in this area. The Red House is only a few hundred yards (meters) fro the Shimen MRT Station. It is closed on Monday. By the way, the Red House is surrounded by bars serving Taipei's vibrant GLBTQIA scene. -

Touristy historical building
2020-01
This octagonal building has a long history, and the structure attached to it was actually in the shape of a cross (not apparent to visitors at ground level though). Interesting architecture, and lots of touristy shops inside (include some that are fairly interesting). Good for a photo and some shopping but not that much else frankly.
