Travel Guide Zhongqin

Zhongqin is one of the most unusual places in Taiwan. It was here, until it was finally abandoned in the 1990s, that the government of the province of Taiwan, not to be confused with the seat of the exiled ROC government based in Taipei, was based. There are an impressive number of administrative buildings, now abandoned or converted into artists' studios, but also residences. Zhongqin is a kind of modern city with an old-fashioned charm reminiscent of Soviet cities, with lush nature to boot, Zhongqin is really an interesting place for those who are interested in the contemporary history of Taiwan, and for the curious who wish to stroll through the alleys where retired people still live.
