Taichung｜A 60-year-old water supply dormitory has been transformed into a cultural and creative community Green Light Project along the Green Parkway

While strolling along Green Park Avenue on a weekend afternoon, I accidentally followed the crowd into Zhongxing Lane 1. This is the recently popular cultural and creative community "Green Light Project". Sixty years ago, this was the dormitory of the Water Company. The 12 old buildings fell into disrepair and became ruins in the downtown area. The earliest founder, Zhong Junyan, first converted the old house into "Fanthi No. 1 Store" in 2009. Later, due to its popularity, he rented the abandoned dormitory of the water company and combined the mottled old walls, collapsed roofs, ivy and unique stores in this space. There are seven townhouse dormitories with their second floors connected to each other. The garden is furnished with low tables and chairs, turning it into a restaurant and perfume shop. The desolate old house has been transformed into a trendy check-in spot. Remove the old windows, put stools in, and the red brick coffee shop becomes a beautiful place both inside and outside. Mango trees, wax trees and banyan trees are preserved so that people on the first and second floors can be surrounded by plants. Workshops, exhibitions and artist matchmaking sessions are also held here from time to time, making it a vibrant cultural and creative community next to Green Park Avenue. 📍Address: No. 19, Zhongxing Lane 1, West District, Taichung City 403 #2月好去地方2025
