Houtong Cat Village Introduction

Located next to Houtong Station, Houtong Cat Village is one of the famous tourist attractions in New Taipei City and was even recommended by CNN as one of the top six cat-watching spots in the world. The cats here are clean and not afraid of people, thanks to the care of the residents, making them the best feline models under the camera. Houtong Cat Village originated from a cat-loving internet user who initiated the establishment of a volunteer team to improve the village's environment, providing a friendlier living space for the cats. It has gradually become well-known through the spread of information on the internet, turning into a pilgrimage site for many cat-loving tourists. In addition, to promote the correct conservation concepts for feeding cats, Houtong Cat Village also built a cat office preparation office, featuring a mural of Q-version cats designed by illustrators on its outer wall. The outer wall and interior space are equipped with catwalks and jumping boards, allowing cats to come and go freely and play. The outdoor washbasin and cat water station enable visitors to observe the cats closely and understand their habits. The village also has a row of cat cafes offering coffee and simple meals, making it a great place to sit down, enjoy a coffee, and, if you're lucky, watch adorable cats performing chase scenes right in front of you.
