Military dependents' village old house × cultural and creative soul, Kaohsiung is a great place for photo taking

Have you ever heard of military dependents' villages? It is not just a building, but a way of life that is remembered by a whole generation. In Zuoying, Kaohsiung, there is a place that allows people to re-recognize "military dependents' villages" - Taiwan Military Dependents' Village Cultural Park, which retains the old atmosphere and emotions, and also injects modern design and creativity, so that the past is not only missed, but truly lives in the present. 🏡 Zuoying was originally a major town of naval military dependents' villages, and now it has transformed into a cultural park The park was formerly "Mingde New Village", which was built in the 1950s and was mainly for naval dependents to live in. At its peak, there were hundreds of families living here. Red brick low walls, sloping roofs, balcony clothes drying racks... are all familiar scenes. With the changing times, the military dependents' villages gradually declined, but the Kaohsiung City Government chose not to let this history be forgotten, but through a cultural reconstruction plan, this space full of stories was revitalized into the "Taiwan Military Dependents' Village Cultural Park". 🏠 Enter the daily life of the military dependents' village: from furniture, dining tables to black-and-white photos of children The exhibition space in the park retains the appearance of the houses in the past. When you walk into it, you can see wooden dining tables, old-fashioned TVs, rattan chairs, photos of soldiers hanging on the wall, and familiar soy sauce jars and enamel cups in the kitchen. Every detail tells a story, as if returning to the era when neighbors were close and people could visit each other as long as the door was open. It's not just about seeing the exhibition, but using the "sense of life" to make people feel the warmth of history again. 🎨 Creative people move in, and a new literary style opens up in the old house Some houses in the park are also open to artists, creators or cultural and creative brands to move in, turning them into exhibition spaces, cafes, bookstores, stationery stores, etc., so that people can feel nostalgic and energetic at the same time. Sometimes a limited-time "military dependents' village market" is held to sell handmade small items, retro snacks, and military dependents' village-flavored bento, which is worth digging for treasures! 📷 Looks good no matter how you take photos: Retro alley × red brick house × clothes drying rack The old alleys, wooden windows, cement walls and green trees of the military dependents' village are perfect photo spots everywhere.
