During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Han Chinese came to Taozaiyuan from Nankan Creek and formed a living circle centered on the Kaiji Fude Temple. Later, due to the Quanzhou-Zhangzhou armed conflict and the Japanese colonial period, the city center gradually moved to the Zhongzheng Road and Zhongshan Road area. The predecessor of 77 Yiwen Town was here. It was originally a dormitory for civil servants in government offices. In 1937, it was converted into a police dormitory. There were originally six buildings with 12 households of the Taiwan Police Freemasonry Association. A fire broke out in 2002, and now only four buildings remain. The four eight-story Japanese-Western mixed-use buildings were renovated in 2018 and officially revitalized as assets. They were voted to be named "77 Arts Town", and restaurants and arts and cultural businesses moved in, turning it into a time tunnel in the city. The official residences of the judges are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. There are two types: single-family and double-family. When you visit Taiyaki and an independent bookstore, the owners are friendly and easy to talk to. The double-family houses have now been demolished and connected to form a large space, and the space where quilts are placed has become a display space for artists' works. The slightly lower beam of the paper sliding door is retained, resembling the wooden floor and ceiling of grandma’s house, instantly returning to early Taiwan. The orange cat strolls around 77 Gebuncho, as if freezing a leisurely afternoon in the noisy city. If you come to Taoyuan, don't forget to come here and experience the unique flavor of the old Japanese buildings. 📍Address: No. 5, Lane 77, Zhongzheng Road, Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City 330 #2月好去地方2025

The leisurely environment seems particularly peaceful and rare in the noisy city. There is a small cultural and creative market in the park. Many people will bring their handmade handicrafts to set up stalls and sell them. There are also various street performers. There are cafes and cultural and creative shops. Although the overall area is not large, it is very suitable for walking around. There are department stores and bookstores nearby. It is very close to Taoyuan Railway Station and the transportation is very convenient. There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer. I was bitten by mosquitoes several times not long after I stayed there. It should be related to the plants and green space here. There are occasional exhibitions in the park space. The scene in the park gives people the illusion of being in Japan, so that people who cannot go abroad often can come here to satisfy their desire!
