Songshan Cultural and Creative Park

The historical vibes of this place are captivating, considering its past as a tobacco factory. The remnants throughout the halls, accompanied by informative descriptions, add an interesting layer to the experience. The shops were not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer beautiful and unique products. I purchased postcards and stickers from a local artist, and they're fantastic! Additionally, the facilities, including the toilets, are well-maintained, and the thoughtful touch of providing complimentary sanitary pads for female visitors is noteworthy. Overall, a delightful visit with a perfect blend of history, creativity, and thoughtful amenities.

Great place to go with your friends and family. Lots of places for kids to play and also lots of activities to do. Great place to spend the weekend and explore different local businesses.

A must visit every time I am in Taipei, if anything, to soak in the old world charm of this former tobacco factory. Would highly recommend spending at least half a day there to check out the interesting design shops and exhibitions. Start with a brunch at 光一一时间, a beautiful restaurant that offers great breakfast sets to pick from 😝

Great place!

I heard it was a cigarette factory before and they now used it as exhibition center. Today was "CREATIVE EXPO TAIWAN" if i'm not mistaken it's open until 1st October. There were also many outdoor stands which make the exhibition much more lively.

I love how well kept the buildings are, there's rusticness however well maintained.

I would love to have spent more time there, pondering while enjoying the sun at the central garden. Really relaxing.

I love that there are many activities to be explored here. I came during the evening when everything is closing but i saw some booth nearby the park and some art expo/museum thingy there. There is also a shopping center very close to the park which you can visit.

The place is pretty great for arcade fans, it’s chill place, nice arcades games and local vibe. The staff is pretty friendly, easy going and super fast service. Drinks are reasonable.

This place is so cool! What a neat way to repurpose an old factory. Lots of cool shops and artisan clothing/ crafts. Caught a fun weekend market while touring around on my bday ☺ There’s a lot to explore here.

One of the heritage factories converted into an attraction, as is common around all of Taiwan, where many historical sites are cleverly converted and converted as design and cultural parks, with retail offerings promoting the culture of Taiwan.
This cultural park at SongShan was converted from a cigarette factory and plays host to different exhibitions and events each week. Weekends usually see a design and arts themed flea where nano brands hawk their wares.

Usually it’s a combination of crystals, tarot readings, petite homemade pastries, fashion jewellery, pets toys, clothing, natural foods and drinks, and so on. It depends on your affinity with the store and their wares to find something that suits your taste.

In the cultural park itself there also exists several retail areas, one curating various brands of Taiwan, including leather craft, fruit wines, taichung tea and various forms of art and design.
The design store also stocks interesting specialised brands that add a high class design element to everyday products as part of home decor. As is often the case, there is a design premium added to the pricing of most products available here.
Still, it’s fun to browse the trends and ideas of emerging brands and who knows, one could find something that really catches your eye too.

Personally i just had a can of tea-beer and picked out some postcards from the yuanzhuming products store, and mainly ‘window-shopped’ in my time here, though the fruit wines were interesting too. Would recommend as a place to spend a lazy afternoon.

Song shan culture and creation tobacco factory. This area is peaceful and full of artistic startup and work space to cultivate the mind. The middle of the classic 1900 factory sits a magnificent garden with a fountain. There is a lake side park area perfect for a evening stroll.

Well worth the visit. Unfortunately on a Monday most of the stands were closed but I'm sure on a weekend the handmade local stands must be amazing. Their variety and crafts are well worth it. Also the Architecture and overall re purposing of an old factory is a nice tour.

Amazing space, really gorgeous. Love the creative energy and the graduate exhibitions from the design students. There are also rows of stalls selling handmade jewelry, film cameras and handicraft.
Best to come during late afternoon when it is not so warm. You can spend up to 3 hours here just exploring and enjoying the afternoon.

The environment is chill and relax. Quite fun to stroll around that area (parks, buldings, stores).

In Taipei I like that they are combining new building structures and converted old factory buildings, abandoned villages to new uses. These being centers for the arts and crafts, and design.

These buildings are spacious, some have not been completed or occupied. The surrounding gardens are nicely landscaped, laid out with benches and tables. Great places to sit and have lunch which was what I did.

I visited the Design museum in one of the buildings. It was small with a nice library. I also like that the museums for the arts and design in Taipei have very cheap entrance fees. It encourages public attendance to these places.

Take a break from your visit. You might want to try to go next door to the basement food court of the Eslite Spectrum Songyan Store. There are many food and beverage places to enjoy a snack or a meal. The atmosphere is very spacious, well designed, and comfy. I sat at a cozy cafe i
n the corner on the third floor to have an oolong milk tea and a cake.

Certainly a delightful way to enjoy an afternoon.

Lovely place for some peace and quiet. Handmade stuff and personalised gift options are a plenty here. Not cheap but if you like something unique, that's a great place.

Have courses, events and what not some times so do check out in advance too.

Great place to do shopping. Buy several STEM & cognitive toys & books. Flowers lover would love the garden area, the bleeding heart vine, the Christ crown flowers

A good stop over before heading to Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. A park to see the big bird and a hall with local artisans. Clean toilet with water refill station inside the old tobacco factory hall.

It’s a unique place in the busy areas of Xinyi. Very tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. A lot of exhibitions, cute stores, and cafes.

It’s a great place to enjoy your holidays, especially for families, friends, and couples.
There is a beautiful book store here, you can have a great reading time here.
There are some exhibitions, outdoor arts, and restaurants here. Therefore, it’s easy for you to find something interesting.

Nice place to spend the time with friends and family~
It’s big place and there are a lot of pop-up store too~

A brilliant transformation of what used to be a tobacco factory into a cultural park and retaining all the structure of the old factories. It has a premium Eslite Hotel and a little mall with a lot of artisan craft stores within. The tobacco factory too has been transformed into event spaces where numerous events usually takes place concurrently. A great place to spend the afternoon.
