Taipei Treasure Hill Artist Village 寶藏巖

Treasure Hill Artist Village is located on a hill along the banks of Hsin Tien Creek near National Taiwan University. It is a collection of small old vacant houses that were converted into art spaces.



Before entering the village, there is a tennis practice field that caught my eyes with its colorful graffiti.





















The graffiti attracted others as well.






The actual art village was unique, but not really impressive.  I took a few photos to capture what it looked like there.

Taipei Expo Park 台北市花博公圓

Taipei Expo Park was the venue of the International Flora Exposition in 2010.  It is a collection of several parks in the area.  I did not have the chance to visit the Flora Expo, so I did a quick exploration this summer of what is there now.

A collection of stores and food places are still operating here.


This building is now the Taiwanese Indigenous Culture Center.  The building behind it is Taipei Fine Art Museum.
