David on Formosa

After leaving Longshan Temple just as the sun was setting I walked across Taipei passing by a number of famous landmarks.

Ximending - click on the photo to see a larger image

The first stop was Ximending, a bustling entertainment and shopping district. All the bright lights and huge screens give the place a kind of futuristic, sci-fi feel at night. This is enhanced by the sign reading "Galaxy" in the middle of the photo above.

Presidential Building

I wandered past the Presidential Building which is well lit up at night. I didn't knock on the door to see if A-bian was home.

CKS Memorial

I don't think much of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. I just wish they would change the name and rip up the vast expanse of concrete and plant some trees!

Shida nightmarket (師大夜市)

Next stop was the Shida nightmarket for some refreshments.

Light trails

I continued wandering along Roosevelt Road. I took the photo above from one of the pedestrian bridges. I always think the effect of the light trails looks really cool. My journey came to end when I got to the Gongguan MRT Station and headed home.
