西門町名稱由來起源於日據時代當地的行政規劃，由於地理位置恰位在台北城西門外，故稱西門町，日本政府決定模仿東京淺草區的規劃，在這裡設至臺北座、榮座和八堂等等，讓西門町逐漸在台北城嶄露頭角，1990年代後期規劃了行人徒步區，週末和國定假日禁止車輛通行，讓許多青年學子可以來西門町恣意的逛街漫步，至今西門町更成為小型活動、簽唱會和記者會的場地，也有10多家以上的電影院在這裡營業，成為台北著名的商圈。公仔箱論壇- K% @* k1 }( Y+ T

The plaza in front of Exit 6 is a haven for street art, with a boisterous scene full of spray paint artists, magicians, musical performances, and movie promotional events. If you walk a little further down the pedestrian zone, the square in front of Watson’s is a popular site for small concerts and pop star autograph-signing events. One trip to Ximending, and you will get a grasp of what’s popular in music.

Ximending, the city or shopping place looks like very western and international style. Calvin Klein underwear, California  fitness, New York Yankee and some American movie commercial, all are the American stuffs. I thought those are the New York city pictures except for the Chinese faces.

This place is so different now, the big billboards and neon light signs does give the place a feel of NYC.  The last photo definitely feels like Time Square at night.
