Your afternoon tour starts from Gongguan MRT Station, where your guide greets you and accompanies your group to Treasure Hill. Located in southern Taipei, this artist village is a magnet for visitors seeking to discover its art and architecture along with a unique ecological model.
During a 1-hour guided walking tour, learn about the development of this urban community, originally settled by military veterans after World War II. Restored by the Taipei city government and reopened as an artist village in 2010, Treasure Hill developed into an area for modern artists to feature their work, taking their inspiration from film, literature, high tech and daily life. Meet residents, marvel at all manner of artistic works, and hear about ecology projects including recycling, gray water systems and composting.
Then discover Treasure Hill's secret spots on an optional treasure hunt, using a map to zigzag through alleyways and taking photos to capture your experience and create your own collection of artwork.
Your tour ends with return to your original departure point.
