Read if you are a cat lover !!! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

#timetotravel As a cat lover, I was elated to find out that Taipei has its very own Cat Village. The Houtong Cat Village is located in the Ruifang district, which is a 15 mins drive away from Jioufen. When we arrived, I was initially disappointed as there were no cats greeting me at the entrance. However, as we climbed the stairs, we found many cats of different breeds and they were all very friendly and cute. Fun Fact: Houtong was initially a small mining town and it was only in 2008, a group of cat lovers volunteered to offer the abandoned cats in Houtong a better life and posted these cats online, thus attracting a huge response from cat lovers globally and now it has become a center for cat lovers. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit here and I am also extremely happy that the cats were very well taken care of here as well. I will definitely visit again in the future #ๅขƒๅค–้Š #taiwan #taipei #cat

Houtong Cat Village

In little more than two years, Houtong, which is located 35km east of Taipei in Ruifang district, managed to reinvent itself as a complete cat village. Today, more than 200 cats live in Houtongย and a tourist industry has emerged with shops, cafes and restaurants catering to the many visitorsย who descend on this feline frontier every weekend. How to get there : The easiest way to get here is by train from Taipei Station. Take the Yilan line (most often the terminus will be Suโ€™ao) and simply get off in Houtong about an hour later. #unforgettableexperiences #local #cat #taiwan #travelinspiration
