Set in a former tobacco factory (or more accurately an industrial village) from the 1930s, the culture park opened to the public in 2011 with a well-attended design expo. That's not a coincidence as the government hopes to turn this appealing warren of warehouses, courtyards, housing blocks and offices into a center for creative design and arts education.
At the time of writing you could stroll through the grounds, explore the buildings, catch the occasional exhibit, and visit the Taiwan Design Museum , which highlights industrial and commercial design from around Taiwan and the world. Expect more from this museum, and the culture park in general, as the years go on. The outdoor areas of the park are opened from 8.30am to 10pm.
