Treasure hill artistvillage Review

Administration is free but watch out for it's opening hour. Fun place to walk around.

It has became better and better. Thanks for the all hard work people have done.

A small artsy village with some galleries, cafes, and designer studios. This place held festivals or outdoor events pretty often, but personally I prefer to visit there on a normal day to spend time with friends.

The allies and stairs are so unique. Perfect spot to enjoy the tranquility within the city. One of my favorite spots to show visitors. Did I mention it s free as well?

Lonely Planet says this place is good for a late evening stroll. But I think it's probably better to go when the galleries and studios are open, otherwise what's the point? The area seems interesting enough but none of the buildings are particularly eye-catching or special.

This is nice for kids too but the paths are up and down and steep. Recommend to get there by taxi.

You could spend 2 hours here easily. Not many studios open today, but the community itself is an exhibition ;)
I ve lived in Taipei for almost 40 years and this is the first time I visit here. Some of the residents stories are very similar to my grandparents past and the decor of their home too. It s the side of the city I never saw before yet it s not entirely alien.
Covid info: Staff check visitors temperature at entrance and provide hand sanitizer too.

This is an artist village with boutique shops, artist studios, and art displays. There is the Treasure Hill Temple built back in 1791 before the entrance to the artist village. Unfortunately, the village seems really rundown. Very few stores were opened on a Friday afternoon, most were empty closed stores. Others had people inside, but not open to the public. Other open displays either indoor or outside seems very old. The village seems dead. Unless you have extra time in hand and near the neighborhood, otherwise I would not recommend. Check out their website when there is special events then visit the place, there might be more to see during those days.

If you arrive in a strange city and enter an artist village, you can immediately catch a glimpse of what that city is like. An artist village is not a temple of high art it is a forum rooted in real life. To put it more specifically, when you take up residence in an artist village, your line of sight will often shift between a local and an international viewpoint. Such a perspective slowly grows, buds and blossoms from daily life, as art and culture help the city achieve new heights and new substance. At the same time, the collective experience of this place awakens a sense of commonality through free and open exchange.
