Once home to the military families, Treasure Hill Artist Village has become one of Taipei’s most unique landmarks.

It is not just for artists, though. The intricate alleyways that meander through the haphazard shacks are dotted with sculptures and street art, independent boutiques and artisanal coffee shops, too.
