Chiayi Hinoki Village: Taiwan's Little Kyoto

Hinoki Village in Chiayi was originally built as official housing during the Japanese colonial period for the Alishan forestry development. Today, it is Taiwan's first forestry cultural and creative park and is also a designated historic site. Strolling leisurely through the historic Japanese-style buildings, one can enjoy the soothing aroma of cypress mixed with the scent of tea leaves, creating a truly pleasant experience. My friends wandered through the shops, delighted by the aesthetic beauty of the items and the delicious food.
