A perfect trip for the city traveler

 

 

▲ QingTian 76

The former residence of Professor Ma Yanying, a famous geologist, is an elegant house filled with old Taipei memories.

 Walking across the wooden floor panels bearing the marks of time feels like going back in time. This small and exquisite piece of Japanese architecture bears testimony to the aesthetics of early architecture in the capital.

 Qingtian Street is a green oasis where you may see magpies and colorful birds perch in the trees-an idyllic surprise in the city. 

From the Fullon Hotel Taipei Central is only an 8-minute walk to beautiful Daan Forest Park with its shady trees and bright flowers.  Five more minutes will take you to Qingtian Street.

 After taking in the culture and nature of Daan, you may be ready to check out the nearby Yongkang shopping area with its old alleys lined with small boutiques, art shops, studios, and eateries — a sweet conclusion to your little urban journey.

 

 

▲ Kishu An Forest of Literature

 

Once an eatery in the Japanese era, Jizhou Temple is a graceful presence in Taiwan’s literary life. 

 In his book Watertown Taipei, author Shu Kuo-chi writes about the Jizhou Temple: “One wouldn’t pay attention to the one or two blackened Japanese-style wooden houses toward the end of Tong’an Street, destroyed by a fire a few years back. Built on that spot 60, 70 years ago, despite the risk of flooding, these houses offer a blissful view of the river flowing by.” Here on the south bank, the Kishu An Forest of Literature was built, Taipei’s first purpose-built space for art and literature and now a municipal relic. The literary quarter is also home to the Chengnan Literature Park. A stroll there may well slow down the pace of your feet and the beat of your heart as you breathe in the park’s elegance and freshness, only too rare in the city.

Also, just a mere 8-minutes from Fullon Hotel Taipei Central in the direction of Daan Forest Park metro station, you will find the south riverbank. While there, why not visit the Hakka Cultural Park founded by the city government to celebrate Hakka culture? And finally, ten minutes onward, you’ll find Liang Shih-chiu's former residence, the famous Shida Night Market—another little urban trip…

 

▲ Treasure Hill Artist Village and Wenluoding bookstore area

Located in the popular Gongguan area, Treasure Hill Artist Village mansion, with its artsy feel and proximity to the mountains, is like Little Jiufen. It’s a place filled with the beauty of art and nature.  Wandering there, you can also overlook the pretty riverbank scenery and enjoy the peace and quiet in the middle of the city.  The Wenluoding bookstore area covers the streets and alleys of Wenzhou Street, Roosevelt Road, Tingzhou Road, where many independent bookstores are concentrated. Their collections and events on a wide range of topics add immensely to the cultural fabric of the city.  After enjoying the beauty of the humanities and art of the Treasure Hill Art Village, you may want to visit the Gongguan area for some serious shopping, try its food stalls, and go to the Wenluoding bookstore area for a shot of culture.  Another perfect little urban journey. 

The Treasure Hill Art Village is only a 10-minute drive from Fullon Hotel Taipei Central, or a short walk from the Gongguan metro station.
