2. Check Out The Ecology Pond

During the renovations of the factory, a large lotus pond was installed for fire extinguishing, ventilation and hydrosphere purposes. This pond was revamped as an ecology pond where visitors can experience the sounds of frogs and insects, while simultaneously learning about local species native to northern Taiwan.

3. Browse The Local Shops

Scattered among the warehouses, there are many small artisan shops within Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. The goal of the park is to foster artistry and creativity, so most of the items that are sold are hand crafted and made by local Taiwanese artists. If you’re looking to grab some local souvenirs, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park is the place!

4. Discover The Taiwan Design Centre

The Taiwan Design Centre/Museum was founded in 2003, with the goal to help Taiwan increase national competitiveness, by investing in creative design. The TDC helps Taiwanese designers to develop their ideas, strengthen their market share, and add market value and global competitiveness to their products. This exhibition space is open to the public and showcases modern designs by local Taiwanese artists!
