"Ximending is a challenging place," Liao says. It's an established place in Taipei for young people to congregate, and there are gangs, drugs, and the sex industry there as well. While Da'an is relatively tony and middle-class, Wanhua District, where Ximending is located, is a seedy holdout from another era, full of temptations.
「西門町是最有挑戰性的地方，」廖文華說，這裡是台北老城區青少年聚集流連的地方，也是幫派、毒品、色情行業充斥之地；相較於文教色彩濃厚、多為高社經地位家庭的大安區，萬華則彷彿是另一個時代遺留下來的誘惑淵藪。
