[TAIPEI 台北] Day 3: Treasure Hill Artist Village, Douhua @ Gongguan MRT 第三天：宝藏岩国际艺术村，龙谭豆花

After a satisfactory breakfast at Fu Hang Soy Bean, we headed to Treasure Hill Artist Village. It is located at an early settlement by the hillside of Gongguan, with the houses are located by the slopes and accessed via staircase. The structure quite similar to Jiufen.

在阜杭豆漿享受了丰富的早餐后，我们就启程到宝藏岩国际艺术村。这趟台北之旅，让我们觉得台湾真的很提倡艺术。走在街上，或则一些观光地，都会看到大大小小的艺术作品。台湾人才多呀！这里聚落了六七十年代的建筑，位于公馆水岸旁，屋子都是随着山形建的，斜坡都是要靠梯级通行。没错，蛮像九份的房子。

The settlement has been gazetted as an historical settlement in 2004 by the Taiwanese government and then became an artist village. It provided an open space that transcend beyond the restrictions and frameworks of regional cultures and political conditions to the Taiwanese artists, writers, critics, and other individuals interested in arts and cultures. Thus promoting free and open exchange from a higher vantage point.

在二零零四年，这里被台湾政府例成历史建筑，慢慢就把这里形成了艺术村。他们希望提供艺术家、作家、評論家等等一個開放的空間，跨越区域性的文化及政治情景的局限和框架。自然可以更高度的創造出自由，而且開放交流的無國界空間。

The entrance to Treasure Hill Artist Village is after this temple. We stopped by to pray for a safe journey here.

国际艺术村就在宝藏岩的后面，当然我们也进去庙里拜拜了下以示尊敬。

Each artist occupy a house in the artist village, thus each visitors may have a vary degree of experience, depending on personal's viewpoint. There was a house whereby there are videos playing in each of the room.

在艺术村里的每间屋子都有不同的艺术作品，让观光客有不同的体验，但也因人而异呀。有些房子只提供场地展现作品，而有些可以租来居住。像这件房子，每间小房都有不同的短片播放。

Another artist house.

另一个艺术房

This detective lab definitely has come out with a creative name to attract some passer-bys' attention.

这无用侦探社的创意名字都让很多路过者停下脚步。

There are a number of artist house at Treasure Hill Artist Village but unfortunately for us, some of the artists houses were closed during our day of visit. Some did not allow photo inside the house, thus we have more outdoor photo at Treasure Hill Artist Village instead. 

这艺术春是有很多艺术房子，很不幸的很多房子在我们去的那天没开放。有些房子是不给照相，所以很多我们的照片多数是户外的。

There was a top spot at Treasure Hill Artist Village, allow you to get some scenic view of Taipei city. Since we at Artist Village, we have to shoot some creative photos too!

这是艺术村的最高点，从这里可以看到很漂亮的台北景色。在艺术村，我们也该假艺术一下，照照一些创意古怪的照片！

We had our own self fun session by taking photos of ourselves too. Haha!

我们也自high的自己照相。哈哈！

It is true that we would not die of starving in Taipei as long as there are money because food stalls were abundant throughout Taipei. After visiting Treasure Hill Artist Village, we simply walked around and arrived at Section 3 of Tingzhou Road, opposite of National Taiwan University to grab some food.

只要口袋有钱啊，就不怕在台北饿死，因为走到哪都有卖食物的小店铺。逛完艺术村，我们就随便走走，来到汀州路三段，在台湾大学对面找点小吃的。

The weather was scorching hot thus we simply grab our first cup of pearl milk tea at a roadside stall. It was not bad, totally quenching our thirst.

夏天的天气真炎热，就随意的在茶番买了杯珍珠奶茶喝。不错，绝对止渴。





Further down to the road there were many restaurants with and the signboard were catchy. As we were hesitating which restaurant to go, we realised this Long Tan douhua shop always full with customers. There must be something good here.

再走下去，这些店铺的招牌那么整齐的挂在店面们前，很抢眼。就在我们不知道该选那家店吃点东西时，看到龙潭豆花满座，而且还有人排队着。大概会有不错的豆花在这吧？
