New tourist spot near Yongkang Street in the East Gate: Rongjin Time? The original site was the Taipei Penal Institution and Taipei Prison during the Japanese colonial period. It has been transformed into a leisure and cultural park. The walking route is comfortable. Walking in from the Jinshan South Road intersection, the storefront and pedestrian area can be dispersed into the store even when there are many people. Cars and motorcycles are parked on Jinhua Street in the periphery, which does not affect pedestrian safety. You can feel at ease if you bring the elderly and children here😌 Most of the coffee and bakery stores are Taiwanese brands, and there are also reservation-only kimonos, Japanese food, and izakayas, so there is a wealth of choices. There is a park next to the square where you can sit down for a meal or have a picnic. A varied diet: [Haoqiu] Cafe + Bagel✨The first choice for picnics in the park [Old Elegance] Make a reservation for coffee and enjoy exclusive seats with wooden floors and window views [Jiu Dumpling House] Make a reservation at a Japanese-style izakaya + fried dumplings🍺 Park highlights: 🌟Gender friendly toilets 🌟Accessible ramps, accessible toilets, elevators 🌟Family Park, Breastfeeding Room The service center has a brief introduction to the history from the Japanese colonial period to the post-war period. In addition to the original site introduction such as the cross-section of the prison building, it also includes interviews with local residents before and after the capital reform. The exhibition space is bright and the design is reader-friendly. From the simple text and map, you can understand the evolution of the Kotei and Nishiki-machi areas to the post-war military dependents' village. It is easy for all ages to absorb. It is a pity that the movement of the exhibition hall may be unsmooth when there are many people. In total, it is a relaxing space that is very suitable for taking the whole family on a trip, with its complete planning🫶
