When travelers are no longer satisfied with simply being passive observers, to meet the needs of in-depth tourism enthusiasts, it's not enough to just offer surface-level food, drinks, and entertainment. Many industries in Taiwan have also come to realize that only by looking back and re-examining themselves, enriching their own energy and cultivation, and communicating their unique styles to travelers in more creative ways, can they not only open a new window for themselves but also present travelers with a whole new perspective.

Guided by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Industrial Development Bureau and implemented by the nonprofit China Credit Information Service Center, the “Creative Life Industry Promotion Plan” has been running since 2003. It selects creative life industries rooted in cultural heritage. To date, the plan includes 172 member businesses across Taiwan, ranging from restaurants, bookstores, art spaces, bakeries, incense art, accommodations, to various traditional industries and tourist factories. Though their sectors vary, what they all share is a deep cultural foundation, steadfast business philosophies, and unique styles. These offer travelers a richer lifestyle attitude and a more immersive experience.

Examples include “Lavender Cottage,” which operates with the core value of spreading happiness; “The One Nan Yuan,” where accommodation becomes a cultural and sensory feast; “Yokai Village,” which built an imaginative forest monster world from the aftermath of a natural disaster; “How’s Design,” a spatial aesthetics magician; “World Chocolate Dream Park,” which turns chocolate into a kaleidoscopic art exhibition; and “A-Yuan Tamsui Tian Guang,” which translates deep humanistic ideals into product concepts. What they bring us is not just a wonderful travel experience, but also an ideal vision of a beautiful way of life.
