Houtong Cat Village Introduction
Located next to "Houtong Station," "Houtong Cat Village" is one of the famous tourist attractions in New Taipei City, and it has been recommended by CNN as one of the six best cat-watching spots in the world. The cats here, well taken care of by the residents, are clean and not afraid of people, making them the perfect feline models for photographs. Houtong Cat Village was initiated by a cat-loving internet user who formed a volunteer team aiming to improve the village's environment to create a friendlier living space for the cats. With the spread of information online, it gradually gained fame and has become a pilgrimage site for many cat-loving tourists. Additionally, to promote proper feeding and conservation concepts for cats, Houtong Cat Village has built a cat office preparation center, with the exterior featuring illustrations of adorable cats designed by artists. The walls and internal spaces include catwalks and platforms, allowing cats to come and go freely and play; there are also outdoor washing stations and cat drinking areas, enabling visitors to observe the cats up close and understand their behaviors. Within the village, there is a row of cat cafes offering coffee and simple meals, where you can take a break with a cup of coffee and, if you're lucky, see the lovely cats performing chase scenes right in front of you.
