TAIPEI - HUASHAN 1914 CREATIVE PARK

Monday 2 February 2026. Spent a few hours in the Huashan 1914 Creative Park.  From 1914 to 1987 the site was used for winemaking and camphor manufacturing.  It is now a cultural events platform.

Who knew Snoopy has a brother?  His name is Olaf.

We came across these extremely intricate art works by Johan Cheng. Please take the time to explore her website.  She creates more than just postcards.The paper sculptures are breathtaking and more creative than you can ever imagine.

Mayz and the artist herself.  Gosh!

I bought two little postcards and Johan signed one for me.  "Why the bunny?" I asked Johan.  Turns out that her Chinese horoscope is the rabbit.

We had joined a Day Tour in the beginning of the week.  Our guide, Raymond, went on and on about how Chun Shui Tang 春水堂 invented the world's first bubble tea (pearl milk tea 珍珠奶茶) in the 1980s.  There is now a teahouse inside the creative park.  (The original location is in Taichung.)

Yes, we did go in for a drink.

Next year, I'd like to pay a visit to the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park.  It was once a tobacco factory.
