Huashan 1914 Creative Park

I had an amazing time at this park! I highly recommend it to creative people or anyone interested in experiencing art and culture. I was fortunate enough to visit when there was an interesting exhibit, and I really enjoyed it. There are also plenty of independent shops, delicious food, and cool cafes inside. It was a great opportunity to discover local brands and artists too.

This is such a cool park to visit! I love the creativity and art that we saw in the stores. The grounds are big with lots of interesting things to see and explore. I love the atmosphere and find it to be an inspiring place. It’s definitely worth a visit and you can find some cute things!

I came to Taiwan for the first time for pride. My hotel was near this park and I decided to come for a visit. Didn't know that there was a festival going on, completely surprised and enjoying this park a lot. They were still setting up for other areas. I wish that I could see more. Food, little shops with lovely crafts, tea places, you can easily spend half a day here

Great place to visit and see a lot of different things in one place. We came around 11am on a Sunday and it wasn’t too crowded. By 2:45pm large amounts of crowds and tour groups were stopping by - possibly because it was the weekend, and there were multiple events being hosted in different spots within the park. There is ample places to eat, most with English translations, and walking spaces and bathrooms are clean.

Such a fun area full of little boutiques, cute exhibitions and while we didn’t dine here, there are a few restaurant options. Our two girls, a teen and a 9 year old really enjoyed browsing the stores. Good place to spend a 1-2 hours.

A nice place to visit, but it’s more of a shopping experience rather than an art district. In that sense very different to 798 in Beijing. But definitely a good spot to stroll around on an afternoon to find unique, hand crafted souvenirs. It can get quite busy though, especially on weekends. So recommend to visit on weekdays.

If you happen to pass by this area it’s a great tourist area for little shops. The shops are very original and your bound to find something you like. From musical boxes to paper characters and more. I got lost enjoying this place for a couple hours. Great location if your traveling for souvenirs! There use to be a playground here but it shut down unfortunately. But it’s still a great place!

Place is just so awesome. There's lots of interesting looking popups, ranging from shops to restaurants to activities. There's just so much to browse and do around the area. Incredible place to spend a day or a couple hours. Thoroughly enjoyed the Jin Yong exhibit they had running when I was there!

It's interesting how Taiwan has so many of these refurbished spaces that are now used to showcase art. I always like to check out those in the area and 華山 is one of the most well-known ones. This review will be shared from the perspective of someone who can read SOME Chinese but is not super proficient or patient enough to read through the entire article. Here are some of my observations: - When I came, the Bugcat Capoo's 10th anniversary was on full swing and I follow them on Instagram so it was pretty exciting to see this. The problem was, from experience, I knew that I wouldn't really have the patience to read any of the signs and couldn't really justify paying 300NT+ on a ticket so I just went to the gift shop instead. That's the issue with a lot of these exhibitions, it's hard want to go to any of them if you can't really read Chinese. - There are a lot of shops that showcase local artist's work. I always find it interesting what types of merch artists from different parts of the world make. I may be a bit biased, but I think Taiwan does it best as it all very cute. - Would definitely recommend checking out the Snoopy x Starlux collab. I think this is on the best collabs I have seen as Snoopy goes around the world to destinations that Starlux also flies to. Overall, cool place to go in Taipei. If you don't go into any of the exhibits, 1-1.5 hours would suffice.

Art-Maker market in an old factory building featuring local art, crafts, restaurant & events. It's so hot to visit during summer time, some of the art and crafts displays are repeated, you can find it elsewhere. There are a few restaurants, cafes, shops, art galleries and other commercial facilities in the park, overall it's quite pricey, hipsters hangout place.

I freaking loved this place. It was such a fun space where you got modern and artistic vibes. It looks like all the shops are in a building that was once historic but restored. There are so many cute shops/art experiences to go to. We got to wander around here for about an hour. It was really fun for the kids. We got to buy some fun souvenirs and take some fun photos.

Very lovely place for art and handcrafts. Very clean and quiet. It is a small pubic park.

My sweetie recommended this venue called 華山1914文化創意產業園區 Huashan 1914 Creative Park for a Monday visit. I likened it somewhat to the Distillery District in Toronto Canada. It's a interesting place to visit when it's not crowded like today. The architecture has stood the test of time so far.

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.

If you're an artsy type then this is definitely your must stop destination. If you like to shop for unique items then this is a must see. This is located across from GuangHua Shopping Center and SynTrend, where you can find ANY electronics and parts here in addition to latest electronic innovations. So this is an added bonus if you want to do more shopping after visiting here. I didn't get to see a whole lot because of pouring rain but I got to visit the WOODERFUL Life experience center, the baby product exhibition, and the "Milk Farm." The WOODERFUL Life is so amazing as you can put together your own music box in addition to seeing all these nifty wood gadgets and puzzles. At the "Milk Farm," we tried the Brown Sugar Boba Milk and the Latte. They were both excellent. This is my first time here and certainly will be a must stop every time I am back here in Taipei. Can't wait!

Enjoyed it! Taipei/Taiwan seems to always have a lot going on, with expos/dispays/pop-ups seemingly rotating constantly in any of the popular creative parks. Huashan 1914 Creative Park is certainly no exception, and hubby and I enjoyed being able to walk in (no entry fee) and check out each of the large buildings on the expos they had going on. For the expos that we did go into, there weren't any entry fees, but perhaps there are other expos where an entry fee is required? While the focus is whatever art display/expo is occurring, there are certainly small shops throughout the park where you can buy cute clothes, souvenirs, and perhaps some snacks. There were a few restaurants, but all looked very busy when we came by during a weekday. Very clean for a public park, we also enjoyed walking around the park and the miscellaneous sculptures on display on the grounds. Overall, you'll likely find something new any time you visit. And plenty of photo opportunities for you and/or your travel buddy! Will be back.

This is a pretty awesome spot for families and couples to walk around. There are a lot of artisan, independent and craft stores that sell assortments of items--from handmade household items like soap and fragrances to pens, inks, brushes, and DIY items. There is also a selection of restaurants if you get hungry, and many places to take pictures. Unlike other areas there are family and baby friendly bathrooms here. Many places have AC so you can stay cool while shopping around. Highly recommended for couples, families and groups.

If you're looking for a quick getaway from the craziness of the city, this is a perfect place to go! From the outside, it doesn't look like it's very big, but there's actually a lot to see and do here with lots of space to walk around. It's easy to spend a couple of hours here. The main concept of this place, in addition to a handful of cafes and tea shops, is shops of artistic work. Because of this, you'll see shops here that you may not find in the future. This way, there's always something new! I would definitely recommend bringing some spending money here. I always end up buying a few things here. It's not just the shops that are artsy and cute. The way this park is constructed is perfect for aesthetic pictures and photoshoots, as I often see others do. I would recommend coming on a weekday, if at all possible. Weekends can get really crowded here and it interferes with the get-away experience that this place uniquely provides.

Make sure you visit this place on a weekend to get the full experience. It is possible to spend at least half a day here people watching, shopping, and seeing different events I went on a Sunday and I had such a good time. Full disclosure, I don't understand Mandarin at all and still had a good time. On weekends, all shops/events are open When I went, there were free events happening such as the parasonic celebration which gave out free snacks, and let you see how technology is influencing our future, a science event that allowed kids to experience it in a playful manner, and an event that celebrated the elderly and their accomplishment, etc. There are different craft shops, and cafe spots for you to relax. Toilets are free, and they even have a green space for you to just sit and people watch

This park is incredibly interesting. I've been here twice now and each time I've enjoyed seeing the variety of artists and their wears. The first time I walked through an exhibition which was a bit morbid though interesting. And, I picked up a few items to take back to the US. This time was more of a meandering stroll and I just love how you can go into all of the shops. I ended up taking back the most beautiful bouquet of flowers back to my apartmenth. Also, I enjoy how there are quite a few places just to sit and enjoy the space. It's nice for a date (after a silly dinner at the Hello Kitty Diner across the street). There just seems to be quite a few events going on here. My husband saw some Sony unveiling and last time there was a bridal thing happen. Plus, there are other art exhibitions and movies to see. Awesome place.

Cute small park. It seemed to be where the hipsters congregate. Lots of funky shops to look at. I really liked that they were using old run down buildings and repurposing it. It seems to be all the rage nowadays everywhere I've been to. Some of the shops had some amazing art work and some nifty gadgets and products. The prices were insane for Taiwan standards but then again Japanese goods are often pricier and artisanal stuff is expensive regardless of where you are. Not much to see. We spent about 30-45 minutes looking around. Some of the exhibits aren't free, so don't make the mistake of just walking in!

even though i was born in taiwan, i was raised and educated in the united states, so for me, i felt like i fit in to this venue/park since it didn't feel like i was in taiwan. there was an art gallery which had modern, westernized art, nothing close to what i'd been seeing in taiwan. they even had written descriptions & guide booklet in english. free admission! i strolled through several souvenirs shops and admired the westernized gifts, clothes, shoes, bath products, and even recyclable goods! now that was a first for me in taiwan! there were also tons of cafes that catered to westernized taste buds, offering salads, pizzas, vegetarian/vegan menu items, things that i'm accustomed to seeing living in the sf bay area. we definitely enjoyed walking through this site, just to get a sense of what this place was and what it offered. folks were setting up for an eco-friendly fair/festival in the main grassy area, not something you normally see in taiwan (but very common in the bay area!) this park is free and open to the public, so it's worth checking out if you're in central taipei. closest mrt/subway stop is zhongxiao xinsheng.

Free entry. Rotating exhibits, seem to be some interactive brand installation at any given time. Came when Chanel and Sanrio both had pop ups here (how could I not give this place 5 stars???) The Chanel one seems to be here for two weeks, not sure how long others typically run for. There was a miniature food exhibit, but I just missed it (that closed at 6pm -- while most stuff seems open through 9pm). Also noticed there had recently been a LINE pop up they were taking down. Plenty of young folks, great energy, IG photo opps galore. Like how they have a bunch of food and beverage options, blended with artisan offerings -- makes the browsing more fun. Would come back next time I'm here to see new pop ups and to check out any of their cafes!

I love this place. This is every creative's dream place. There is so much art, technology, dessert, instagram-able spots, and stationary here! I definitely could spend a whole day moving from spot to spot.

I enjoyed this place. The park is full of art, exhibits and many shops and pop up shops for shopping. They have really unique items. The vibe here is really cool and its perfect to bring out of town people and catch up with friends. It is also dog friendly as I saw a ton of dogs with no leash just running around!

Cool place to check out some artsy stuff. You'll find galleries, pop up shops, cafes and sometimes even performances here. It's a good hangout spot and a great place to experience the city's art and culture.

The best time to visit this park is at week days. Because at weekends, it's overwhelmed with people and commercial activities. Only at week days, you can find some peaceful time to appreciate those vintage buildings. It's nice that the park preserved those old buldings, well maintained yet still in its original shape, style and painting. A walk in the park brings you back to the 70s and 80s. The time simply slow down, letting you walking among the theater, art alley...enjoying the art while wondering what this building has been used for, who was here, what was the life then... During my short walk in this park, I've seen one cosplay and three wedding photograph shootings. The park is quite popular and appreciated by lots of people. So glad to see such a unique park in the center of Taipei.

There are different exhibition and funny things in Huashan Creative Park (i.e., Kanahei's Niu Niu World), Miniature Life Exhibition is one of a must go option. I can sure you will feel how marvellous when you visit in person.

An old beer manufacture turned into a art and culture center where many different activities takes place daily. It's an oasis inside a busy city where you can explore all day long.

I love Huashan, a lot of great arty shops with nice things. Perfect place for souvenirs or particularly nice things for you. Only issue is the rolling exhibitions aren't in English and there isn't an English schedule anywhere that I've been able to find. And you usually need to buy tickets for the great exhibitions, but I can't do that if there's no schedule or buying process in English. I'd love to be a regular attendee. Went to one exhibition with friends and there wasn't any translations of anything. Still beautiful but a little English would make it more accessible.

Great shopping area, especially Wooderful. Also great place for entertainment, they're is a movie theater (spot theater) and a concert venue (the lounge). All and all it feels like a expat mecca. There are many great Restaurants with english menus etc. The architecture is really interesting as well, it feels very Dutch.

Cool place to walk around. A bit of a trek from the metro, but a lot of nice design shops and mini tree forest in the middle of the city. Some of the exhibits require tickets to get in.

Creative park with designer's shops and fun snack stands that will surely keep you occupied for half a day. Perfect spot for shopping if you are into modern Chinese/Taiwanese designed home decorations. Highly recommend a Japanese deco shop which has a restaurant next to it. It sells beautiful Japanese Fuji dyed textile which is perfect for hanging up on the wall to give your room more Zen. I got a piece with sunflower on it and my room has never been so vivid. There is also a shop that sells thousands of little cute wood decos which will definitely give your home a nice touch. This place is close to the Taipei main train station and very accessible by Youyou bike if you have a card. The price is relatively high and you will definitely feel the impulse to buy everything so make your choice wisely.

The space is interesting as others have written but with lots of empty storefronts. I think it has a lot of potential but they need more shops/workshops/artists to take up residence. There are a bunch of cafes but so does every other area of Taipei.

If you are seeking for an immersive experience in the city, visit this winery soon converted to a creative complex. There are diverse stores for a contemporary art haul. Admission is free.

There's awesome little pop up shops and themed museums. My favorite thus far is the miniature museum and hello kitty store. There's lots to do and lots to take pictures of! We went on a rainy day, but I'm sure it's even more interesting on a sunny day.

This place is full of art and coffee shops! A hidden gem in the city! I wouldn't have even known about it except for when my friend who had been living in Taipei for a while took me. If you love coffee check this place out... if you love art check this place out.. want to know where the locals hang out? Check this place out! When i went I was luck enough to see a meet up that was happening for swing dancing!

One of the two most popular "creative parks" in Taipei. Lots of fairs, art galleries, cafes, and concerts happen here. Compared to Song Shan Creative Park, there is less to eat here with the focus mainly on cafes and the site is also smaller. But the tech parks are right next door for easy shopping.

really awesome park. there's a lot of restaurants and coffee joints to satisfy your hunger/thirst and there's always a bunch of different exhibits and cute little stores for you to browse through. some of the exhibits do cost money but it's usually not too expensive. there's a large open area in the entrance with kind of a 'stage' where performances sometimes are held. other times (when it's not too hot) there's dogs and people picnicking on the lawn. food trucks sometimes line the sidewalk during special events. nice place to walk around and explore. lots of really nice and unique things to see

This place is a great place for all types of personas. The family, the young professional, a person on a date.

If you're in Taipei and craving some culture, this contemporary and creative hub is the place to get it. Huashan 1914 is another of Taipei's repurposed historic buildings. The site hosts a number of different buildings. Each building is tasked with a different creative contribution to the Taipei community. Within the creative park there are a number of stores and galleries. Visitors can spend an entire day browsing, watching, eating and wandering here. Huashan 1914 Cultural Park is surrounded by sprawling green lawns and it isn't uncommon to see visitors picnicking at the outskirts of the park. On the site you can visit the independent cinema, wander through MingShan Art Gallery and use your buying power to support local artists. Naturally, this creative space calls for creative cuisine. There are a number of bistros, bars and cafes to enjoy here too.

This place is actually really cute and does take up a huge portion of your day if you're browsing through the different stores here. It is very artsy fartsy but a lot of the things that people make and sell here can get pretty expensive.

A very unique creative park that can explore different kinds of fine arts and modern arts craft and products. I come here once almost every month because there are a variety of different events posted. This month is the TLC Chanel events exploring many areas of our globe events. My favorite part of this park is their architecture is in red bricks and wooden floors that cultivates the European style. I recommend coming here in the evening because the lighting and trees blends perfectly nice together with the architecture buildings. Very vintage and cozy, a great romantic dating spot!

This type of place is my perfect travel destination: farmers market + local artist vendors (these are here only weekends after noon) + curated boutiques of other designers. I loved this place so much I came back twice during my week in Taipei. The boutiques are located in the renovated former distillery, and the vendors are outside under tents. The stores take credit card, but bring cash for the outside vendors. Don't miss the Wind Music store on the second floor for indigeneous Taiwanese CDs. There are also various performances both indoor + outdoors here.

This is one of my favorite spaces in Taipei. it's just lovely. There's always something interesting going on here, whether it's a concert or an exhibition, or just an outdoor gathering. And even on the off chance that none of these things are going on, there's an Alleycats, whose Napoletana pizza is one of my favorites in the city. It's not the only Alleycats Pizza, of course, but with its rustic design it's certainly one of the lovelier ones. I've mostly been here at night for some sort of live music event. Once I attended the Urban Nomad kickoff party in one of the event spaces here, and I've also seen some outdoor stages and general fun. Even if nothing else is going on, there always seems to be something else happening around here. if you're ever nearby, it's a nice space to just wander through and see what's going on.

Looking for a hipster and artsy place to enjoy your afternoon with friends? Like taking creative photos? This is the park to visit! The park is surrounded by many cute cafes, exhibitions, and stores and is often teeming with teenagers and young adults. You'll feel rejuvenated after your visit!

Went here for the Yayoi Kusama pop up and boy was it a splash of polka all around! Her work is on the walls, decals, postcards, books, shirts - everything. It's a Kusama Temple! One thing I didn't like though was that they don't accept credit cards in this area. Too bad because I wanna buy the shirts and I didn't bring enough cash with me :(

It's got a few nice shops, but mostly there doesn't seem to be anything open. Is it out of season? Finding English info hasn't turned anything up. It's a really cool space with a lot of potential.

tucked beneath the highway overpass and a refurbished beer factory is this zone of various artistic influences...it's a quick pulse point for the current urban design culture of taiwan...many products are locally sourced or made each warehouse has been renovated to be a design store, gallery space, or eatery one of them specifically functions as a concert (albeit small) venue while there is another that's more like a jazz club there is a new cinema that screens a lot of indie films *note* i don't know why but a crazy amount of people like to use this space for photo ops or yoga....odd but i guess they like to make use of the space as creatively as the designs displayed ~*~ much like my favorite little known secret of barnsdall park, 華山 is the taipei equivalent it is one of my favorite places to take friends that are visiting~
