A suivre : Treasure Hill, 寶藏巖 (Baozhanyan) - la colline des trésors


Voilà l'article de "Taiwan Today" :


C'est, semble t-il, un endroit historique remarquable qui ouvre au public le 2 octobre, après quatre années de rénovation. A noter.

Extraits de l'article :
  • "Treasure Hill was originally used as an ammunition depot under the Japanese colonial regime in the 1930s, and the residence area started to expand after the Kuomintang took over Taiwan in 1945. In the 1980s, as many as 200-plus families were living in this four-hectare area."
  • "In 2004, the Taipei City government designated the once illegal settlement a historical site, with the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs in charge of its refurbishment beginning in 2006."
  • "The hillside neighborhood was lauded by a 2006 New York Times report as one of Taipei’s must-see locations."

  • "The Taipei City Government designated the community as a historical site in 2004, and the community became the center of attention after the New York Times in 2006 named it one of the must-see destinations in Taiwan."
  • "In 2007, the city government’s Department of Cultural Affairs started a renovation project aimed at turning the area into an artists’ community, and sparked protests from a group of artists living in the neighborhood who refused to leave and vowed to continue occupying the area."

Extraits :
  • "Treasure Hill, in ZhongZheng Riverside Park, is arguably the most eccentric neighborhood in Taipei. It is home to the historic Treasure Shrine for GuanYin, Goddess of Mercy. The original temple is almost 300 years old and is located inside the newer temple built around and over it. Since the 1950s it has been a squatter community, with residents from all over Asia and Taiwan. The diversity of languages still spoken there didn't stop the residents from building a hive of houses from salvaged materials on the hill."
  • "Treasure Hill is at the end of Lane 230, DingZhou Road in GongGuan."

Extraits :   
  • "Treasure Hill is a maze of mottled old illegal structures packed together on the slopes of a hill in Taipei's Kungkuan district. In highly developed urban Taipei, the village is an anachronism, a fossilized relic of the city's past."
  • "Some of those who do know it refer to it as "Little Chiufen" because its low houses and winding streets recall those of the better-known tourist destination. Its demographics have led others to call it "Taiwan's Rennie's Mill." Like the Hong Kong enclave where many KMT soldiers settled following the Nationalist government's relocation to Taiwan, the bulk of Treasure Hill's residents are single, elderly veterans."

Page of Taipei history closes for overhaul, 01/19/2007, By Sean Scanlan

Extraits :
  • "To some, it resembles an oil painting, with layers of burnt ochre brick rising out of a limestone outcrop, while others consider it an eyesore, a painful reminder of Taipei's rural, immigrant past."
  • "As much as 30 percent of the buildings in Taipei were illegal in the late 1950s and '60s."
  • "In its heyday, the community's 200 households shared just two official addresses on Lane 230 of Tingzhou Road: No. 1, a military garrison, and No. 29, a private residence."
