Snake Alley (Chinese: 華西街夜市; Hwahsi Jie) is a two-block long night market in Wanhua district, the oldest district of Taipei, Taiwan. It is noted for its restaurants which serve bizarre "delicacies" including snake blood and meat, turtle blood and meat and deer penis wine.
Many Taiwanese have a negative view of Snake Alley, which was once a legal red-light district.[1] Adventurer Charley Boorman visited and tried some of the delicacies such as snake penis and turtle testicles on offer during his television series By Any Means 2 in 2009.
