Skylar Banqiao Brothel ❤️

About Taoyuan

Dunno, tho—sometimes it’s grim, sometimes it’s a laugh. Like nature, yeah? Predators and prey, but with cash and a wink. “We’re all trapped in our little world”—*Yi Yi* again—fits perfect. Brothels ain’t pretty, but they’re real. Reckon I’d rather watch ‘em than judge ‘em—bit like staring at a weird bug, fascinated but nah, not touching! What you think, eh? Proper madhouse, innit!

A group of eight legendary courtesans living along the riverbanks, where there were famous brothels for licensed prostitution.

So, I’m on my way to the Banqiao Station, right? Gotta catch the train to meet my buddy. But then, BAM! I see this street vendor selling bubble tea. I can’t resist. I mean, who can? I order a large one, extra pearls, of course. I’m sipping it, feeling like a king, when suddenly, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy canceling on me. Classic. I’m like, “Great, now I’m just a bubble tea king with no one to share it with.”
