The Red House
The Red House consists of an octagonal building and a cross building, and was originally an indoor market. Later, in Taiwan’s post-war period, the octagonal building was used as a performance venue. It was listed as a Taipei City historic site in 1997 and serves as a cultural and creative venue and exhibition space. There are many bars next to The Red House with a great atmosphere, and it is now also a place for people to gather. Now it has become an LGBTQ+ friendly gathering place, suitable for nightlife with drinks and chats.
