I guess there's always some red light districts in every country? So where are these areas in Taipei? Dun get me wrong. I am trying to avoid these areas at nite, as personally I dont feel safe in these areas, especially with female frens.
So just want to be clear befor I accidentally landed in these areas I still remember my last trip, I was walking around Ximengding quite late one nite. And this uncle ride a bicycle and chase after me. I thot its robbery or what.
But when he stops in front of me, he asked if I wanted women. Frankly, I was quite startled Unlike Geylang in Singapore , there is no single red light district in Taiwan.
That doesn't mean there is no prostitution; they are just so spread out you can't point to any one particular area. Wan-Hua used to be known as the red light district of Taipei and still is to a certain extent , but nowadays most of the sex workers had moved underground, working in innocent looking salons, spas, massage parlors, clubs, dance halls, even tea houses. No real Red light district now a days. Hmmm , No one chased me on a bicycle offering me "Women"!!
There has been some developments in that area recently but no place has been designated yet for such purposes.
