审计新村Creative Revival at Shen Ji New Village — A Must-Visit Art District in Taichung

#hellohalloween Shen Ji New Village (審計新村) in Taichung is a charming blend of old and new — once the dormitory for Taiwan Provincial Government’s Audit Department, it’s now a vibrant creative and cultural hub. The village’s pastel yellow low-rise buildings and nostalgic architecture contrast beautifully with the modern cafés, artisan shops, and design studios that now fill the lanes. Visitors can explore local handmade goods, indie fashion, stationery, and unique souvenirs, or simply relax in one of the many stylish coffee shops. The weekend markets and pop-up events add a lively, community feel, making it a favorite hangout for both locals and tourists. Located near CMP Block Museum of Arts and the Calligraphy Greenway, Shen Ji New Village is perfect for a half-day stroll, photography, and café hopping. It’s one of the most photogenic and creative corners of Taichung — ideal for those who love culture, art, and slow travel.
