I'm visiting Gejiu next month and staying near Tiệm caffe MidWay, and I'm trying to figure out whether walking back from there around 10 or 11pm is fine or if I should just grab a taxi instead. Which streets around that cafe are okay after dark and which ones should I avoid, especially on a weekend?

Tiệm caffe MidWay sits on a stretch that stays fairly bright thanks to the late noodle shops nearby, so 10pm on a weekend is usually fine on the main road itself. I'd stick to the lit side streets off Jiefang Lu and avoid the narrow alleys toward the old mine works after 11, they get dark fast and there's little foot traffic. A taxi back is cheap enough that it's worth it if you're out past 11.
