Treasure Cave


Some people name it "Treasurehill" as it is built on a hill. It is actually a very small village alongside the Hsin-tien River in Taipei. While just feet away from the boisterous business area of southern Taipei city, it is completely another world. The centre of the viliage is a Buddhism temple established some 300 years ago. The viliage became prosperous when KMT government retreated from the mainland, and it was a place to accommdate veterans. Veterans faded, of course. And this has become a relic. Then "artists" came in, trying to reform the area to be Taipei's SOHO. That's why it has been full of daubs.

A lot of other amature photographers go there trying to conserve what they see...
