This photo essay captures the cultural layers of Taipei’s Nakayama District, especially Chifeng Street, once an ironworking hub and now a vibrant centre of youth culture. Blending portraits with alleyways, retro architecture and cafés, the series reflects the coexistence of Showa-era nostalgia and contemporary sensibility. It reveals how Taiwan’s urban past and present converge into a unique aesthetic, beloved by locals and travellers alike.

DENNIS CHANG, a Taiwanese professional photographer who is good at telling stories with photos, like wedding, portrait and commercial photography with his unique vision.
