Beitou New Village Introduction
Beitou Central Village is one of the 13 military dependents' village preservation areas approved by the Ministry of National Defense, and it is also one of the few remaining complete military dependents' villages in Taipei City. The development of the Central Village residences is closely related to the Tri-Service General Hospital Beitou Branch (formerly the Japanese Army's Beitou Branch Hospital), and the well-preserved residential buildings from different periods combine with Beitou's unique historical context, hot spring culture, and life memories, making the Central Village an important historical site in Beitou. In 2021, it was operated by the Taipei Cultural Foundation, which promotes the preservation and redevelopment of the village through space revitalization and resident programs, facilitates local historical investigations and research on military dependents' village culture, and gradually establishes a culturally enriching living area with historical, educational, and informative aspects. Beitou Central Village positions itself as a "Cultural Preservation Base for Military Dependents' Villages in Taipei City," aimed at integrating resources from the New Beitou area and promoting regional collaboration, showcasing the diverse and rich community stories of Beitou, and bringing new characteristics and highlights to the area.
