Cultural Heritage Park — Attraction in Taichung

In a world, where green is the new black and the best ability you can have is sustainability, Taiwan stands out as a true champion. Not only do they have a fantastic recycling program and a respect for their natural surroundings, but they have a real knack for reinventing the old into something new and wonderful. The prime example is its numerous Cultural Parks that occupy old warehouses and factories.

Taichung Cultural Heritage Park, which used to be known as Taichung Cultural and Creative Industries Park, is one of these reinventions. Located in an old brewery, it's been re-purposed for art exhibits, educational centres, markets, and relaxing green spaces. "Park" is a bit of a misnomer, as you think trees and fields. I strolled into CHP without even knowing it because I saw a festive farmer's market in the middle of a bunch of factory buildings. Little did I know I had already strolled into the park.

It's really a great place for both tourists and locals. You can spend hours here wandering from building to building. One building housed a giant flea market where people sold vintage everything, from replica weapons to lamps. The building next door had an educational exhibit on traditional Taiwanese weddings and another on sea exploration. Of course, there was the huge farmer's/food market outside selling all sorts of snacks.

As with most exhibits, things are on a rotational schedule so you can count on seeing something different every time. Combined with the relaxing environment that marries industrial and natural, it's easy to see why this place...

Really cool exhibits and sculptures around the facility! Everything out is free to check out and is definitely worth the time!

My real review is about how amazing the people here are! I was here checking things out and taking a lot of pictures using my phone. I didn't notice but my wallet fell out of my pocket one of the times I took my phone out to take a picture.

I noticed my wallet missing a few hours later and panicked. With low expectations, I had a translator help call Cultural Heritage Park and they said someone turned something into lost and found. I described everything I had in my wallet and then they confirmed they had it. Someone turned my wallet in to lost and found!

I immediately head back to the facility and claim my wallet. I had a student ID with the phone number for the language school I was attending and they tried contacting the school to get the wallet back to me! Super awesome help! Go here for the art and stay for the...
