Mother And Daughter In Deserted Night Market

Shot at Ningxia Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan.

It takes 10 minutes or so to a night market called Ningxia Night Market from the area where many tea shops did business. Before I knew, I approached the market during walking the streets. There are many night markets in Taipei and they are major tourist destinations here. Many stalls, most of them served food, are set up on the street.

The atmosphere looks like a festival held in the temples and shrines in Japan. By way of contrast to the stalls in Japan which are set up only during the festival, the stalls are set up almost every day in the night markets in Taipei.

When I came to this Ningxia Night Market, it was too early to enjoy the bustling atmosphere. Most of the stall didn't open yet. The passage between the stalls was deserted. Walking the passage, I found a mother and her daughter. The mother got hold of a woman working in this market and asked for something. Maybe she lost her way. During the mother talked with a woman, the daughter clutched her mother's shirt.
