Songshan Cultural and Creative Park
The basics
Songshan Cultural and Creative Park spans 16.3 acres (6.6 hectares). The center courtyard features a Baroque-style garden and several ponds and fountains. Around the courtyard are five converted warehouses and several other structures housing a museum, creative lab, galleries, a bookstore, cafe, restaurant, and a constantly changing space of exhibitions, shows, studios, and pop-ups. A large Eslite mall is located at the northern end of the complex, which houses a large number of shops and stalls, and also offers different creative workshops.
Visit Songshan Cultural and Creative Park independently or as part of a guided sightseeing tour of Taipei. Depending on the option chosen, additional stops can include popular attractions such as Taipei 101 and the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, or a food tour of local favorites. Opt to visit on a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus to explore Taipei attractions at your leisure.
