Taiwan Folk Village


When we stayed in Changhua, we slept in a hotel located a few km from the meeting place; in a place named the Taiwan Folk Village, in Huatan County.


More or less, it consists of a group of buildings showing how the old Taiwanese villages used to be,

with some houses in the style of the different original regions of the immigrants from the main land,


all kinds of different roofs,

a small temple,

a traditional marketplace (closed when we visited it)

and facades with funny shapes.


According to the leaflets laying around in the hotel, they regularly do shows with traditional dances and parties. It seems that there were also some water attractions in the grounds at some point, maybe only on a warmer season, which are now shut down and empty.


Not much maybe, but enough to have a nice walk in the morning of a beautiful day.
