Human beings are social animals, forming communities due to settlement, life, and work. However, as time passes, some communities gradually vanish due to relocation or demolition, while others are  preserved, continuing to pass down their unique and precious cultural connotations and memories eternally.

Situated adjacent to the Shida (NTNU) Longquan Shopping District, the Zhanchushan Huanmin New Village stands as the only mountainous military dependents' village in Taiwan. Rich in history, culture , and picturesque natural landscapes, this village was thoughtfully built along the mountainside, fostering a lifestyle that integrates with the mountainous environment. The area also preserves traces of urban development, serving as a crucial site practicing the harmonious coexistence between urban dwellers and nature.

The riverside Treasure Hill Artist Village in the Gongguan area was constructed alongside the mountainside as well. With its meandering and intricate architectural layout, it showcases a unique settlement appearance in Taiwan. In 2010, the official launch of the "Treasure Hill Artist Village" created a platform for connecting community residents and artists in residency (AIR), infusing new vitality into the artist village.

As for Taipei Water Park in Gongguan, besides offering a joyful aquatic playground for both kids and adults, it also serves as an environmental educational facility themed around "water resource conservation".

 There is also a military dependents’ village called the  “Jiahe New Village” located on Yongchun Street in the Gongguan area. In 2022, the “Jiahe Story House” was established to integrate the historical context of the Jiahe New Village into its architectural space, based on the context of the military dependents' village. With the aim of conveying the significance of preserving the culture of the military dependents' village, the Story House hosts art experiments, exhibitions, performances, and workshops.

In addition to the military dependents' village, there is also the Taipei City Hakka Cultural Park, which focuses on six main themes, including “culture, ecology, education, technology, industry, and farmyard fun”. It aims to create a civic park that embodies both waterfront features and the characteristics of the Hakka culture.

The Kishu An Forest of Literature is an art and cultural space characterized by Japanese architectural style. Its traditional Japanese wooden structures and tatami mats offer visitors an immersive experience reminiscent of Japan.
