History Life in a Military Village

#taipeiattractions During my Taipei trip, I made a spontaneous stop at Heart Village in Beitou and was so glad I did. It’s not your usual tourist spot—it’s quiet, humble, and filled with layers of old life. The village preserves the structure of Taiwan’s last remaining hot spring military medical housing site, and walking through it feels like flipping through an old photo album. Each house shows a different side of village life, from children’s playrooms to tiny shared kitchens. There’s even hand-written signage and household tools that reminded me of old Taiwanese dramas. This spot is perfect if you want to slow down and feel history with your own eyes.
