Treasure Hill Artist Village

Cute and unique experience that reminds me a bit of the Berlin art scene. The village has its own Youbike station, so it's great for an excursion. I went to the current light exhibition - in the evening, the light effects are particularly nice but some galleries close at 18:00. As many artists contribute, there is a wide range of both style and quality. While some exhibits/installations are more whimsical, others are edgy. I wouldn't say that it was the best exhibition I've seen this year but I am definitely glad I went. The fact that it is a bit of a search to find out where all the galleries are hidden and what is an open door vs. a private dwelling makes it a bit of a treasure hunt.

has been see better times, many places empty or closed but some still open have to walk patiently up and down to find, no restaurants with exception the singing barkeeper downstairs air shelter available

Interesting area to explore! There are many small exhibition spaces and studios to take a look at. Some have English translations, some don't. We were there during the week and enjoyed it being more quiet and less busy than the surrounding areas.

Village from the qing dynasty turned into an art exhibition. Cool installations, studios and each house has a little backstory about the residents.

A really cool, eclectic village to walk through with shops, art studios and narrow pathways. Great spot to spend an afternoon. For a short, 1-min video summary of what it's like walking through the village, check out this video edit on my YouTube page: https://youtu.be/RD3bdQFZfQE?si=J4kn4N3xYVhV6r0C

Really cool village-turned-art-exhibition. A lot of the studios were closed when we were there, but it was still nice to just walk around the village

Quaint and lovely village in the middle of the city. Worth the visit but will need patience and explorative drive. Had a great time

Nothing to see. Just a very run down village. Artwork and art pieces are poorly maintained and discoloured. Theres a unmanned visitor centre with some brochures and tourist stamps. The best part about the place is leaving it.

This is a quaint place with working artists. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Good food options for snacking along the way and wonderful views of the city.

This is a cool place to explore. You walk through a village of houses and can explore the history of the place and see some neat art displays. Some of the houses have only half of the foundation left, while some are still occupied! The faces mural and huge fortune cookie artwork were our favorite. There are so many mosquitoes in this area. Even the free bug spray at the visitor center does not prevent them from biting you!

Chill, relaxing area. I didn't visit any studio or gallery - just wandered the whole hill itself. Regardless, I came across multiple art pieces and it was nice just to admire. They have a few spots where you can look out to the hills/traffic - and surprisingly, it had a calming effect. It's also really close to a local market so it's great to grab a bite before or after visiting this place

Does nostalgic aesthetic woo you? Does the idea of a bucolic retreat just outside of the city make you shimmy in smiles? Treasure Hill is a gorgeous micro neighborhood that made me grin ear to ear. Treasure Hill is basically a community of artists and art-lovers. A few simple housing structures were built on a green Taipei Hill during the sixties. These residencies are in close proximity of each other, so they have a distinctly neighborly feel to them. The houses are worn down but still charming, hence the name treasure Hill. Most of the houses are now homes for artists or gallery spaces and cafes that are art focused in some way. I really recommend visiting Treasure Hill during the day. You can wander around the community, which is very beautiful, and attend exhibitions that are on at the time. There is also a great restaurant in Treasure Hill where you can grab a bit - or bring a picnic to enjoy on the rolling green hill that lies between the houses and the river.

This is an amazing place to take a tour at! It's a mini cultural park of the old houses in Taiwan turned into a picture tourist area. There are many narrow streets that goes up and down featuring the scenery that was left from the past. You will be surprised at every turn when you find a new architecture or reconstructed restaurant. We came here during the evening around 8 and I think it was a great time to come have a peek because there isn't too many people which made the atmosphere really peaceful. You can hear the wind breeze and smell the nature of the trees. It closes at around ten each night and there is fee for the park.

It is a really cool place to visit. The ugly concrete building is stacking on top of each other and built on the hill facing toward a really nice view of Taipei river. This place was built around the time when KMT retreated to Taiwan and brought huge among of people from mainland China. People desperately need a place for living so this villa is built organically according to their need. Today most of the resident have already moved out. A lot of artist and art studio flooded in for the cheap rent and nice environment to replaced the unused space. The arrangement of the space is amazingly random, there is always a little surprise by art as turn at the corner. A hostel is running business there along with some restaurants and cafe, you can get a really cheap price for a room. Getting there is a bit hard with no clear direction along the road, better to do some research on Internet! Personally, I strongly recommend to pay visit there!
