Located in Nantou, Taiwan Craft Culture Park has three branches, Taipei, Miaoli and Yingge. Among these institutes, Yingge branch is the only one that doesn’t open to the public. Taipei branch is a building with striking red-and-white. With its circular neoclassical Chinese-style roof, dates back to just 1956. It was recently converted into the Craft Research & Development Centre where the first two floors showcase Taiwanese designed and made gift products – everything from stationery to silverware – while the top floors are reserved for art, architecture and craft exhibitions and a rooftop organic food court. There are fantastic views from the roof, where you can also get up close to the fantastical glazed roof tiles.
