Taiwan Travel Journal 2024.05.25 台灣旅行日記 (建國花市及華山藝文特區)

We found that it was not too difficult to push my mother on the MRT in a wheelchair as long as it was not during rush hours. So, on Saturday we decided to take her to the Jianguo Holiday Flower Market, which is only available on weekends, to see and buy flowers. The Jianguo Holiday Flower Market in Taipei City opened in 1982 and is located under the Jianguo South Road Viaduct between Xinyi Road and Renai Road. Usually it is a parking lot, but it is cleared on Friday evenings to allow gardeners to gather and set up stalls. It is open from 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, selling plants and flower-related supplies. Mom was quite happy to see the colorful flowers.
我們發現只要不是上下班尖峰時間，推媽媽坐輪椅上捷運不是一件太難的事，所以星期六決定帶媽媽去週末才有的建國花市看花、買花。臺北市建國假日花市，於1982年開始營業，位於信義路至仁愛路之間的建國南路高架橋下。平時是停車場，於週五晚上淨空讓各地來的園藝人士匯集設攤，週六及週日九時至十八時營業，販售植物與花藝相關用品。媽媽看到五顏六色的花還蠻開心的。

After that, my daughter and I went to the Huashan Art & Cultural Park, whose full name is Huashan 1914 Creative Park, also known as Huashan 1914. It was formerly the Taihoku Winery founded in 1914 during the Japanese occupation. After the Second World War in 1945, it was taken over by the Republic of China. The development of various fruit wines in the mid-1950s began the golden age of Taipei Winery. Later, due to high land prices and serious water pollution problems in Taipei, which were unfavorable for winemaking, Taipei Winery moved to Guishan Township, Taoyuan in 1987. In 1997, through the promotion of people from the arts and cultural circles in various fields, the factory was reused into a diversified arts and cultural performance space, which is now the Huashan 1914 Creative Park.
之後我與我女兒去華山藝文特區，全名為華山1914文化創意產業園區，又名華山1914文創園區或華山1914。前身為 1914 年日治時期創設的台北酒廠。1945年第二次世界大戰後，由國民政府接收。1950 年代中期研發各種水果酒，開始了台北第一酒廠的黃金時代，後因地價昂貴及台北水污染問題嚴重、不利釀酒，台北第一酒廠於 1987 年移至桃園龜山鄉，舊廠在 1997年透過各領域的藝文界人士推動，將之再利用為一個多元發展的藝文展演空間，即現今的華山1914文化創意產業園區。
