Location & Accessibility

Treasure Hill might be small—covering just 3.97 hectares—but its location in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District packs a punch. Nestled at No. 23, Lane 230, Sec. 3, Tingzhou Rd., it’s a quick ride from Taipei 101 (yes, the iconic skyscraper). Take the MRT to Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station, and you can walk or hop on bus 1, 20, or 530 to get there. Bonus: it’s tucked near the river, so you’ll spot water views along the way!

Natural Scenery: Hills & Water

Don’t let Treasure Hill’s size fool you. Its waterside slope offers lush greenery and killer sunsets over the river. The hilly terrain means you’ll wander through shaded paths, perfect for escapers who crave calm but still want city vibes. Bring comfy shoes—those hills are begging for a photo-op!

Cultural Gems: Temples & Villages

This place is a history buff’s dream. You’ll find ancient temples here, built by immigrants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou (think: Fujian, China). Their colorful roofs and intricate carvings feel straight out of a time machine. But the real showstopper? The post-war village. Back in the ’40s and ’50s, people built makeshift homes here, which later became a quirky “shantytown” turned artsy hub. Today, graffiti-covered walls mix with old-school Taiwanese life—it’s like stepping into a living museum!
