Taipéi, Taiwán
A popular attraction for local people, but not a must for foreign visitors.
An elegant Japanese style building. It was originally a restaurant during Japanese colonial Period. After World War II, it was used as a dormitory for government employees from 1950s to 2000. The building has been approved as a City Heritage site by Taipei City Government. Along with a new building and the garden, the campus became a culture center, containing a book store, an exhibition center, a lecture hall and a restaurant. A great Taiwanese writer Prof. Wang Wen-Hsing (王文興) once lived here. The old residence of another literary giant Prof. Yu Kwang Chung (余光中) and two literary book publishers are located in the neighboring lane (not open to the public). So this park is called “forest of literature”. This is a beautiful and peaceful place. It is a popular attraction for Taiwan people, but not a must for foreign visitors. -

Japanese-style pavilion
Kishu An was first built in 1917, during the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). Originally it was a Japanese-style pavilion. It was built close the Xindian River and has a pleasant outlook; it became a popular social area for residents south of the city. It was designated by Taipei City as a historical site in 2004. The site has literary associations; the Taipei City Government. now operates the "Kissan Literary Forest," which has become Taipei' City's literary base. Visitors are welcome. -

Japanese Beauty
Tucked in an out of the way place in Taipei, the home is beautiful. And you can enjoy a quick lunch and some tea at the restaurant next door. -

Old Japanese restaurant
This place used to be a Japanese restaurant. But once it was completely devastated, and the actual building is a reconstruction. Now it is a kind of literature cafe. It is relaxing and refreshing. It is a nice place to take a rest. -

1) I know, it’s ranked over 100 so shouldn’t expect much, but then again, some reviewers were a bit too generous. 2) If you’re a tourist, don’t waste your time. If you live here and have nothing else to do, then it’s a place to kill some time. 3) Gutin MRT Station, Exit 2, walk 15-20 minutes 4) two buildings and 1 garden ~ A) ex Japanese restaurant, now empty and opened for sightseeing purpose, B) newly built building, with small coffee shop and mini mini bookstore on ground floor. 2nd & 3rd floor can be rented to businesses for exhibition and training activities, C) garden ~ one eye see all 5) the ex Japanese restaurant building ~ free entrance but MUST take shoes off and MUST wear socks. Otherwise, can purchase socks in the bookstore for NT$20.
