This
old
harbor
warehouses
converted
retail
and
art
hub
should
have
been
a
top
tourists
and
locals
destination
and
attraction
for
any
day
of
the
weeks.
I
have
visited
here
more
than
a
half
a
dozen
times
before
in
weekends,
holidays,
weekdays,
or
daytime
and
evening.
To
my
surprise,
only
during
the
weekends
and
holidays,
there
were
crowds
roaming
around
the
outdoor
display
and
businesses
inside
those
renovated
warehouse
buildings.
A
venue
like
this
should
be
a
fantastic
designation
chosen
by
families
or
friends
for
gathering
or
business
people
for
conversation
and
of
course
tourists
for
sightseeing
schedule.
But
during
the
weekdays,
I
found
myself
was
like
the
only
creature
wandering
in
the
quiet
lanes
between
some
deserted
old
buildings
or
the
few
outdoor
art
pieces
nearby.
If
this
place
were
in
a
different
country
or
a
region
like
say,
the
Taipei
city,
I
am
sure
that
there'll
be
waiting
lines
outside
those
nicely
decorated
restaurants
and
bars,
cash
registers
in
retail
stores
will
be
busy
ringing,
and
the
walkways
and
open
grounds
will
be
crowded
with
people
of
all
ages
most
of
the
time.
Each
time
that
I
visited
this
place,
I
would
buy
food
or
purchase
something
I
have
no
purpose
for,
oh
well,
a
small
contribution
to
the
store
operator
for
their
devotion
and
courage
to
keep
their
business
afloat
as
their
part
of
supporting
the
whole
attraction
prosperous.
The
city
government
created
this
area
as
one
of
the
city's
attractions,
and
it
spent
billions
of
dollars
to
build
a
swing
bridge
across
the
water
in
recent
years.
But
I
think
the
city
has
missed
the
point
that
what
long
term
functional
attraction
is
lacking
inside
this
attraction
park.
Nonetheless,
it's
a
nice
place
to
spend
some
hours
getting
away
from
the
street
traffic
jam
and
noises
at
anytime.
