Taoyuan 77 Art and Culture District Introduction
"Taoyuan 77 Cultural and Creative District" was formerly a group of Japanese-style dormitories for the Taoyuan Police Station, located in the business district in front of Taoyuan Railway Station. It has been revitalized as a cultural and creative park after renovation by the city government and is one of the most popular photo spots in Taoyuan. The dormitories, which date back to the Japanese colonial period and post-war era, are situated in the old town of Taoyuan, embodying commercial, cultural, and administrative characteristics. Three years ago, the city government decided to restore the dormitory group to its original state, preserving the historical appearance of the Japanese wooden structures. The revitalized "Taoyuan 77 Cultural and Creative District" combines the architectural style of the Japanese colonial period with the significance of Lane 77, Zhongzheng Road, named through public voting. The park features a variety of space areas and performance activities, including retail (cultural and creative product shops), handmade (experience classrooms), Liuy Art (exhibition space), Police Headquarters (service center, administrative office), Blessing Pavilion (performance and rest area), Qitao Market (weekend market), and Dream Come True Coffee (well-known chain café). Although the park is not large, it is a garden space filled with artistic atmosphere amidst the bustling commercial area in central Taoyuan. A leisurely stroll on a refreshing afternoon offers a delightful experience. (Image source: Taoyuan 77 Cultural and Creative District)
