In Pingtung, I found an old house that was quieter than Tainan

If you like to visit the cultural and creative parks transformed from old houses, then the "Shengli Star Village Creative Life Park" is definitely worth putting on your travel list!
This was originally the dormitory area for officers during the Japanese occupation. After years of idleness, it has now transformed into the most representative lifestyle settlement in Pingtung. Shuttled between wooden buildings and green alleys, it seems like walking into a scene where a Japanese period drama and modern cultural and creative works are intertwined.

🏠 Century-old Japanese dormitory × Old house reborn, let history continue to breathe
The building complex of Shengli Star Village was built in the 1930s and is one of the few well-preserved Japanese wooden dormitory complexes. After being reorganized by the Pingtung County Government, design, hand-made, desserts, selection and local brands were introduced to create a unique living village.

Walking among them, you can see cypress beams, sloping roof tiles, lattice windows, and historical information boards recording the lives of past officers. This place is not only suitable for checking in and taking pictures, but also more like a living architectural textbook.

🛍️ Specialty shops × unreplicable daily scenery
There are many carefully managed brands and shops in the village, including handmade pottery, selected groceries, Japanese confectionery, hand brewed coffee shops, art gallery spaces, and even picture book houses and youth performance bases. Each store retains the skeleton of an old Japanese house, but is infused with the soul of different generations.

🎨 Art × Creativity × Locally Connected Community Regeneration
This is not only a cultural and creative space, but also an experimental field for integrating art into life. Many activities encourage visitors to participate in person, such as hand-made courses, illustration workshops, guided lectures, market music festivals, etc., so that travelers do not just come to "take pictures", but truly interact with this land.

There are often flash events on holidays. It is recommended to check the park's fan page before departure.
