I went on a tour of the Treasure Hill area of Taipei with a group from AIT. I love when I have the opportunity to explore the city with a group of people. I have to admit, I thought Treasure Hill was rather lame. It has a great concept behind it, it's just sort of limping along instead of thriving.
Treasure Hill was an illegal settlement, founded by military veterans in the 1940s. Today Treasure Hill is a worldwide community of artists. You can apply to live here for a period of time to explore your art. I expected the area to be vibrant and full of creative minds with little shops and cafes. It's not. It has great potential so I hope it takes off.
