Taitung’s Iron Flower Village has always been a popular spot among tourists. During the day, you can explore the old railway tracks, green meadows, or handmade craft markets, and at night, enjoy a drink while listening to performances by bands from various regions, effortlessly soaking in Taitung’s laid-back and leisurely slow life. Now, the park has added two new installation artworks—"H-Pu Beluga Ice Cream" and "Tree of Dreams"—to keep everyone company during the summer vacation!

Since99the year of the Republic of China, the new Iron Flower settlement has been selected as part of the International Charming Hub Demonstration Project. Managed through a collaboration between the local community and Taiwan Railways, the old dormitory area of the railway has been transformed into a cultural and creative complex and restaurants that blend modern aesthetics with local characteristics. After years of effort, it has connected a cluster of specialty shops, the renovated old station square, the Indigenous cultural and creative industry hub, Eslite Bookstore, Iron Flower Village, and the former tax office, which has been repurposed into an international hotel, as well as the Showtime Cinemas, forming the “New Iron Flower Settlement.” This revitalization has brought back the past vibrancy to the area around the old station, while also driving urban transformation and elevating Taitung’s status as an attractive international tourism destination.TIMinternational hotel and Showtime Cinemas, forming the “Iron Flower New Settlement,” bringing the area around the old station back to its former bustle while using the project to drive urban change and enhance Taitung’s status as an international tourist city.
