Department of Cultural Affairs

Taipei Cinema Park is located at the intersection of Wuchang Street and Kangding Road in Wanhua District. It was originally the site of Taiwan Gas Co., Ltd., established in 1934 during the Japanese colonial period.

The Taipei Department of Cultural Affairs completed basic greening work on the park in 2001. After remaining idle for 34 years, the space was finally transformed into the largest green space in Ximending. We made sure not only to preserve the historical gas company facilities, such as the processing plant, chimneys, and coke furnaces, but also to refurbish the old buildings for reuse, creating a large-scale recreational space combining cinema, coffee culture, arts, and youth culture.

In June 2009, management was handed over to Ximen Red House of Taipei Culture Foundation, which held the Meeting Love in Ximending: Love, Culture and Art in Taipei event in collaboration with Taipei Film Festival. Several more events followed, including Street Voice, Outdoor Movie Theater, and Public Arts Exhibition, providing a platform for creative activity and performances of youth culture, such as graffiti and original music performances.

Taipei Cinema Park has successfully combined arts events and youth culture activities, from street dance to photography, and has become a recreational hotspot for the general public and young people.

In the future, it is hoped that the efforts of Taipei Culture Foundation will extend the lively activities of the Ximending commercial district to the back part of the park in order to create a single bustling commercial district from end to end.
