Shalu District Art Village Introduction

Follow the path ahead, push open a wooden door, and slowly descend the wooden steps into this space filled with art and mystery—welcome to Shalu Art Village! Located within the Baoshan Reservoir, this brick-built bungalow from the Japanese colonial era faces the lake, offering an unparalleled view of nature's beauty. Lush trees reflect on the lake's surface, and the cool breeze stirs the water, creating ripples like a dreamland. This place is infused with an artistic atmosphere, providing residency for artists and a way for the public to engage with art. On a leisurely afternoon, stroll through the art village, admire the lake scenery, and sip a cup of rich coffee, indulging in the tranquility and humility born from the fusion of art and beauty. In addition to the water's hues and art, Shalu Art Village also boasts seasonal rural scenery, always presenting something fresh—olive trees bear fruit in early winter, cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and in May, the tung flowers bloom, resembling mountain snow. The yellow vibrance of the golden shower tree is especially endearing, while the late autumn season brings sweetness with ripened pomelos and starfruits, marking the changing of the seasons.
