Stroll through Qinxian Fantastic → Create New Life in the Old Buildings of Zhongxing Lane 1

Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Network Editorial Department, reported by Liao Qiyu

Located in Taichung’s Qinxian Eslite Greenway, this spot attracts many visitors on holidays to take leisurely walks and enjoy the outdoors. The lush green lawns serve as a relaxing retreat from the city’s busy life — where you can fly kites, soak up the sun, or lie on the grass with your loved one, sleeping under the warmth or letting children freely chase and play, enjoying these moments of a beautiful life. Beyond just resting on the lawn, about a five-minute walk from Qinxian’s green space lies a small Green Light Project quietly shining in the urban alleys.

Fantastic Space Micro-Creative Culture has created the Green Light Project street in Zhongxing Lane 1, continuing the four main themes of Fantastic Space:“Green Awakening,” “Memory Continuation,” “Passion for Creation,” and “Dream Amplification.”They transformed 12 old dormitory buildings originally belonging to the Waterworks Bureau into arts and cultural performance spaces. These venues now house many small, independent shops focusing on original creations, coffee, and handmade food. The new creative energy has revitalized what were once abandoned dormitories, adding a touch of human warmth. Here, you can browse unique handmade goods, find a quiet rooftop escape in the middle of the city, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee among the old bricks and tiles while reading about the city’s memories. Time may seem still in these old houses, but with a little curiosity, you’ll find fresh discoveries in every corner of this community.
