Village 44 (Xingyi Assembly Hall) - 四四南村

 As Taipei rushes to become a modernized city, many old parts of the city are torn down and are replaced by new and shiny office buildings or shopping malls. As the old part of the city is removed, some of the history is lost along the way. These "Nationalist relocation villages" are part of this disappearing history that will only exist in memory.

Original village

The Village 44 preservation is a great project that keeps part of this history alive and gives people an idea of what it was like.


Too bad it was closed the day we visited it. Nice blog with photos
