About About the place

Plum Garden was once the home of Yu Youren, a prominent figure known for his contributions as a politician, educator, and, most notably, a celebrated calligrapher. The residence, now open to the public, offers a glimpse into the life of this artist and exemplifies a unique blend of Japanese and Western architectural styles. Visitors can appreciate the well-preserved interiors, including polished wooden floors and calligraphy artwork. The site is located in Beitou, an area famous for its hot springs.

Kid friendly

Plum Garden is not specifically geared towards children, and there are no dedicated kid-friendly activities. The quiet atmosphere and focus on calligraphy may not hold the attention of younger children for long. Stroller access may be limited due to the need to remove shoes.
