Shenji New Village

Vibrant creative village converted from 1960s government dormitories, home to craft shops and weekend markets.

Located in West District, Taichung, Shenji New Village was originally built in 1969 as residential dormitories for the provincial government audit bureau. Reinvigorated into a bustling creative arts hub, its two-story vintage ochre buildings and timber staircases house artisanal boutiques, specialty coffee roasters, and pastry shops. The lively Mumu Weekend Market brings together dozens of independent local craft designers.
