LGBT Taiwan – On the March

0 Comments

The buzzy cluster of gay bars and terraces (along with cafes and underwear and club-gear boutiques) situated around the historic Red House arts and design market in the Ximending district are always packed with revelers throughout the Pride weekend. To get here, take a taxi or the metro to Ximen Station - the distinctive redbrick Red House building is across the street, and the bars curve around the plaza behind the building, both at street level and upstairs. The surrounding Ximen area, especially the blocks immediately north of Red House, also abound with karaoke clubs, restaurants and shops (from outposts of international chains to upscale establishments), and a handful of boutique-y hotels. Head a few blocks north of Red House to find Commander D, the most popular of Taiwan's gay fetish and leather clubs, which is also a hive of activity during Pride.
