Huashan Cultural and Creative Industry Centre

Bored of modern blocky Taipei? Want to go somewhere with some history, some character and with open parkland? Then Huashan is the place to go.

Located on Bade and Zhongxiao road intersection, this former winery is easy to get to and usually has plenty going on. With attractive and semi-derelict buildings, this place attracts lovers, artsy types and the odd photography club.

They also have many events going on. Last weekend there was a box camera event and an exhibition on a company that has brough foreign acts to Taiwan's theatre. I have attended DIY events, which were fun.

There does seem to be some controversay over the site though, as the government has fiddled with you runs the site. Also, it used to be called the Huashan Cultural Centre. Still, the box camera event was fun and free.

I'm sure that the centre used to have an English website but I can't find it. http://www.huashan1914.com/Templates/Model1/index.jsp
