Six of the best cat-watching spots around the world! New Taipei City Houtong Cat Village 🐱

If you are a cat lover, then you must not miss the Houtong Cat Village in Ruifang District, New Taipei City. This used to be a mining village, but it declined due to population outflow and industrial changes. However, thanks to the efforts of a group of cat-loving volunteers and netizens, it has become a tourist attraction full of cats. It was even selected by CNN as one of the top six cat-watching attractions in the world👍🏻

In Houtong Cat Village, you can see cats of various colors, breeds, and postures living freely in the village. Some cats will actively act coquettishly and ask for petting, while others will just sleep quietly or lick their fur. They are all very clean and not afraid of people, making them the best models for the camera. In addition to cats, you can also enjoy various cat-themed paintings, installation art, souvenir shops, etc. in the village, and feel the strong atmosphere of cat lovers.

If you want to know more about the history and culture of Houtong, you can also visit the Houtong Coal Mine Museum. There are many mining artifacts, models, images, etc. on display here, giving you a glimpse into the lives and work of miners in the past.
