Industrial sites gone hip
Taiwan Highlight Industrial sites gone hip
Huashan 1914 Creative Park used to be the grounds of Taipei Winery. The site with a factory building and huge warehouses is now home to hip concept stores, exhibition spaces, and trendy cafes. Have a coffee at VVG Thinking, it reminded me of Europe ☺
Don’t forget to visit these!
The Red House, a former opera and film house. Head over here for charming little one man/woman artsy shops. Near the Ximending area. 10 Chengdu Rd.
Songshan Cultural & Creative Park, Taipei’s old tabacco factory. It’s Taipei’s design hot spot! I loved the design museums (Red Dot Design Museum and the Taiwan Design Museum) on site. PS Indulge yourself with award winning pastries from Wu Pao Chun at the basement of the Design Center.

Shaped roughly like a sweet potato, the island nation has more than 23 million people and is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Besides its crowded cities, Taiwan is also known for steep mountains and lush forests.
