6. Huashan 1914 Creative Park
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 746 reviews
In 2007 the Taiwan Cultural-Creative Development Co. Ltd assumed responsibility for the renovation and operation of the Park and renamed it Huashan 1914. An organically creative environment has been growing ever since. Huashan 1914 now serves as Taipei's primary creative arts center and a hosting ground for Taiwan's most significant cultural activities. Examples include the Simple Life music festival and the BiBo student design expo. Today Huashan 1914 is not only the heart of Taiwan's creative pulse, but also a bridge to a unique architectural past.

The area consists of 9 old red brick buildings housing arts, gifts, hand made items, toys, a movie theatre, art galleries showing art of famous artists, special events, like a dinosaur building for kids, a cat celebration of Fumeacats, (a famous Internet cat site) where you can buy cat knickknacks, a blow up bouncy room for kids, specialty food stores for honey, yam products. There are many coffee shops and little restaurants, including a pizza restaurant. This is a fun district to browse through and I particularly liked the toy stores; some with the latest anime toys, some Toy Story characters, Sponge Bob, Star wars. Everyone knows Hello Kitty and the latest new character created by Japanese parent company, Sanrio, is a woeful, sad egg yolk which has gained huge popularity. It's name is Gudetama. My favourite toy store was one of hand made wooden toys in miniature. At the front were glassed in display cases of turning music boxes, tops which spun, little wooden cars that were ‘driving’ around the other music boxes Adjacent to this brick area is a very large green park with playground for kids, lots of seating for adults to rest. There is a pond, a sculpture of a leaf growing out of the lotus plant. There are walkways, bicycle paths. Alongside the park is a street of many bus stops and an overpass bridge runs parallel to the street. This is a great area to visit on a weekend or holiday period in this city.
