In recent years, cultural and creative tours with Taiwan, Japan, and Europe as the core are quietly emerging, and Taiwan, a treasure island that shoulders the responsibility of inheriting Chinese traditions and future development, is undoubtedly the first choice for cultural and creative tours . A low-key cafe, a bowl of street snacks, and a simple folk song all retain the epitome of history. Her beauty lies in transcending the changes of dynasties, looking back on the past and thinking about the future. In the low-pitched singing of Tamsui Old Street artists, you can find the charm of history; in the loud sound of books in Hansheng Lane, you can stick to the essence of tradition; in the Eslite Bookstore , which is always open, you can read about the increasingly scarce humanistic sentiments in the bustling city. Travel Network (www.lvfacn.com) will take you around Taiwan’s cultural and creative districts today to experience a different culture.

Cultural and Creative Parks

Based on different regional cultural heritage, industrial characteristics, development conditions, etc., the development, construction, operation, and management of Taiwan's cultural and creative industrial parks present diversified development models.

1.Huashan 1914 Creative and Cultural Park

Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Park is located in Zhongzheng District in the center of Taipei and is a protected historical site of Taipei City. Its predecessor was Taipei No. 1 Winery. After it was abandoned, it was discovered by people in the cultural and art circles and the old building was preserved. It became a space for cultural and artistic performances such as drama, art, music, dance, and film, and became the venue for various large-scale international cultural and artistic exchange activities. The platform has become an important place for people to share cultural activities. According to Liao Shufeng, the planner of Taiwan Cultural and Creative Development Co., Ltd., Huashan Park is currently divided into three modes of development and construction.

One is the OT (Operation and Transfer) of the film experimental site. This block is operated by the Taiwan Film Culture Association after winning the bid, and senior director Hou Hsiao-hsien participated in the planning. Among them, the cinema mainly screens experimental films , documentaries, and Taiwanese films. The purpose is to cultivate film art talents and provide a carrier and space for Taiwanese artists to screen images. It not only gives film creative talents a chance to show off, but also allows the common people to see more of local movies.

The second is the ROT project of Taiwan’s cultural and creative industry flagship base. This block has the largest area and scale of restoration in the Huashan Cultural and Creative Park, with a total area of ​​approximately 35,000 square meters, and 13 buildings have undergone protective renovations. In June 2007, Taiwan Cultural and Creative Development Co., Ltd., which was jointly formed by Yuanliu Publishing House, Guobin Hotel and Zhongguan Design, won the bid to be responsible for the operation and obtained the right to reconstruct and operate it for a period of 15 years. This area has become Taiwan's cultural and creative center, with six major functions: imaging, market, education, performance, entertainment and exhibition.

The third is to rebuild the old office of the existing "Criminal Police Station" in Huashan into a modern contemporary building. This area is the only area in the park where a single-family building can be built. It is understood that bidding is underway and it is planned to become a multi-functional building with culture, sightseeing and hotels. Today, Huashan has become a gathering place for cultural people and young people in Taipei, and has become a beautiful scenery in the city.

2. Taipei Songshan Cultural and Creative Park

Taipei Songshan Cultural and Creative Park is located in Xinyi District, Taipei City. It was formerly the Songshan Tobacco Factory, covering an area of ​​about 19 hectares. In 2001, it was designated as a protected monument. Half of the park is a cultural and creative park, and the other half is planned to be a Taipei Sports Park.

Songshan Cultural and Creative Park retains the original Baroque gardens, boiler rooms, manufacturing workshops, offices and other old buildings. It is operated by the Taipei City Cultural Foundation (called a legal person in Taiwan). Ye Yiqing, administrative manager of Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, said that the main functions of the park are to provide entrepreneurs with government consulting services such as funding application channels, provide venues for lectures and training, provide creative space and library materials for designers, and provide performance services It provides performance venues for groups and emerging performers, and provides a display and practice platform for college students in their graduation season. The main purpose of

is to cultivate and gather young talents and become an incubator for the growth of young cultural, artistic and creative talents. It should also become a good place for ordinary people to experience culture and relax.

3. Kaohsiung Pier 2 Art Zone

Kaohsiung Pier 2 Art Zone is located in the third shipping channel of Kaohsiung Port Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Pier 2 refers to the No. 2 connection terminal.

In 2000, the Kaohsiung City Government accidentally discovered this experimental site. After repairing the dilapidated warehouse, Pier 2 became a representative work of the cultural and creative industry in Kaohsiung City and even southern Taiwan. Lin Huiyu, a staff member of the Pier 2 Operation Center, told us that Pier 2 is affiliated to the "Cultural Bureau" of Kaohsiung City, and its subordinate Pier 2 Construction Center is specifically responsible for management, operation and services.

In the creative workshop, art teams from all over the world are committed to integrating art into life. The original dilapidated warehouse has been transformed into the most successful cultural and creative special zone in Taiwan. Pier 2 not only attracts many artists and creators, but also attracts internationally renowned film special effects companies and animation companies to settle in. It has become the Hollywood of Asia and an important center for film post-production in various Asian countries, gathering a group of art masters and professional talents.

Characteristic parks represented by Huashan Cultural and Creative Park and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park have integrated Taiwan's various cultural and creative industries into one, becoming the most important cultural and creative industry incubator in Taiwan. These two decaying factories have been transformed into new cultural and creative industrial parks. They have carried too much glory and dreams of Taiwan's cultural and creative industries, and have become a window for Taiwan's cultural and creative industries to communicate with foreign countries.

Nowadays we see a wave of industrial transformation boom taking place in various places, the earliest roots of which come from Taiwan. The implantation of new commercial formats such as cafes, galleries, restaurants, bars, and lifestyle art shops has aroused widespread emotional resonance among citizens and brought vitality to the renovated factory space.

Specialty catering

1, Eslite Bookstore

Eslite Bookstore is not a specialty catering, but he has made special catering very successfully! The reason is very simple. Eslite sells books just like Starbucks sells coffee. The value of the fourth space.

Eslite Bookstore has become a representative of a way of life in Taiwan. There are a large number of books, lifestyle retail products, restaurants, cafes, and everything in cultural life is Eslite. The essence behind this brand, which has persisted for 20 years and has gradually become stronger, is the feeling of adhering to humanistic ideals. Nowadays, a new generation of cultural and creative commercial shopping centers with bookstores as the core have become a classic model frequently imitated by the mainland.

2, Taiwanese Cafe

Cafes in Taiwan are not so much a leisure platform as a spiritual habitat for young people. The biggest dream of many young people in Taipei is to open a specialty cafe. Experience the fun of modern and fashionable life in a cafe with a bookstore, delicious coffee, and fine food, meet guests and friends, and create a unique and refined cafe culture. These cafes are already the most common and attractive format in Taiwan’s cultural and creative business.

3, Shilin Market

People depend on food. As a place with rich traditional culture like Taiwan, respect for food is naturally indispensable. From Ang Lee's famous Taiwanese movie " Diet Men and Women " to the famous Shilin Night Market in Taipei, Taiwanese food has long been popular in the mainland. Every specialty catering store can constitute an engine and tipping point for passenger flow.

In fact, the understanding of truly excellent Taiwanese restaurants has risen to the level of craftsmanship and aesthetics, that is, they pay attention to the nutritional taste of food, and they also pay attention to the creation of a sense of ritual in the food space. Therefore, we see that unique gourmet Zen temples such as Shiyang Shanfang have attracted a large number of diners for a worshipful experience through their unique food preparation procedures and the creation of ritual spaces.

Taipei's famous restaurant chain Din Tai Fung not only showcases its gourmet craftsmanship to the outside world, but also conquers consumers around the world with its pure taste, becoming an important representative brand of Michelin restaurants.

Farm Town

In terms of the development conditions of cultural tourism, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea have the most similar situations to China.Currently, Taiwan and Japan are the leaders in cultural tourism in Asia. Different from Japan’s approach of attracting crowds by focusing on “main business” such as hot springs, Taiwan pays more attention to exploring or discovering new cultural characteristics. While attracting crowds, it uses mature industrial chain production to promote tourists’ secondary consumption. Here is a summary of eight of Taiwan’s most famous cultural tourism cases.

1. Hou Tong: Taiwan’s cutest town
