A-Lin's paintings have moved into 94 cafe, and the artist suggests an afternoon through Gangshan. Begin with coffee and the small oil-painting show, then walk to Xing Village's restored buildings and exhibitions. Stay in Gangshan for the afternoon.
Suggested afternoon
Coffee and paintings 13:00–14:00; allow 27 minutes for the 1.9 km walk. Visit the village about 14:30–16:30, then return to the streets for a meal. Walking from the MRT station through both stops totals about 2.5 km.
Allow ten minutes for the 625-metre walk from Gangshan MRT RK1 to 94 cafe. The village is another 1.9 km away; choose a taxi for that leg if the heat or walk doesn't suit you.
Stop 1
13:00: A-Lin's small show at 94 cafe
At 48 Pinghe Road, the oil-painting show runs through November 28. Its poster shows a palette knife pressing into thick blue and purple paint. Order a coffee and sit with the paintings; food and drinks are priced by the café.
Walk — About 1.9 km from the café; allow 27 minutes on foot.
Begin with Gangshan's daily life in Building B, then Light Awakening in C and the Touch of Green drama exhibition in D. The repairs preserve some postwar additions; look for the joins between periods.
