Dadaocheng Wharf / 大稻埕碼頭


來去大稻埕碼頭看夕陽,與其說這裡是觀光景點,不如說是市井小民生活的場域。

Let's go to Dadaocheng Wharf for the sunset. It's more a public space for the locals than a tourist spot. 



        大家用最自在的方式放鬆,畫著畫著我也感覺像在家一樣自由。

     Everyone relaxes in their own ways. I can't help loosening up as I observe and draw how others live. 



        華燈初上,廣場上、榕樹下或廟旁的空地,紛紛成為卡拉ok歌手的舞台,排排站的塑膠椅向路人招手,邀請他們來聽一曲,還有毫不害羞的歐吉桑跳著熟練的舞步,多麼華麗的台北夜晚!

     As the sky darkens, the wharf becomes a performing stage for local singers. They can be seen on the square, next to the temples or under the banyan trees. Rows of empty plastic chairs wave to the passers-by, inviting them to be part of the show. Moreover, the music is accompanied by the sophisticated dance of middle-aged men. What a splendid way to spend an evening in Taipei!
