Ximending Taipei

Ximending was for many years the main shopping district in Taipei. This changed in the 2000s as the east of Taipei become more developed, especially with the opening of Taipei 101. That said, it is still a great place to wander around and sample Taiwanese shopping culture. The following photos were taken back in 2005. As you can see there was still plenty going on the place still has an amazing buzz about it.
