Trip Report: Red Light District?

We were in Taiwan for a few days earlier this year, and one of my favourite sights was the pedestrian old street in Jiu Fen. As the sunlight faded, these beautiful red lanterns lit up the street, making for a crowded stretch of a few hundred meters down a steep stairway with tourists jockeying for the best insta-worthy shots. Yes, I realize the irony in scoffing at tourists vying for the same Instagram photo, while doing exactly that myself... proving that it is possible to be self aware and hypocritical at the same time. :)








See? We all took the same shot.
