The Huashan 1914 Creative Park plays host to a wide variety of creative enterprises.

I heard great things about this creative arts district. However, I found it a bit disappointing. It's basically a collection of art galleries and the exhibitions can be really hit or miss. Also, mostly exhibitions cost money to enter. So, the cost of your visit can add up pretty quickly. There are some cute shops around. However, there are cute shops all over Taipei. So, no need to really come here just for shopping and cafes. This area is fun to just walk around if you have little kids though. They can run around and not be worried about cars or traffic.

We visited this place on a hot and sunny afternoon. Quite a lot of people around, mainly youngsters. The place would appeal to those interested in creative arts. This place is similar to the Pier 2 Art Centre in Kaohsiung, but smaller and not as nice.

In the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945) this was a "wine factory." "Wine" is a Chinese term for any form of alcoholic beverage. These days its s creative centre, all sorts of arts and crafts. It also has numerous cafes and resstaurants. To a walk around, it's fun!
