10 Places of My City - Taipei (2)
4、【北美館】台北市立美術館,位於中山橋下,捷運圓山站步行十分鐘即可抵達。自從國中發現這的好地方後,就常常一個人或找朋友到這走走,學生票價只要15元,就可以在三層樓中度過半天。近年來的展覽以不再只是國畫(水墨畫)或繪畫作品,越來越多的當代藝術在此展覽,影像、公共藝術、家具設計等等作品都會在此展出。兩年一度的台北雙年展中,常可看到許多不錯的、驚豔的作品。館旁有個公園,近年來整修得不錯,很有美術館公園的感覺。館的左邊有個很特別的英國都鐸式洋樓建築叫做台北故事館,是九十多年前的富商招待貴賓的別墅,現在裡面有個小餐廳和一些老台北故事的展覽,亦為十分有趣的地方。
4、【Taipei Fine Arts Museum】The Fine Arts Museum is located near the Chung-Shan Bridge in Taipei. You can walk about ten min from the Yuan-Shan MRT station to the museum. Since I found the good place to visit, I usually went here at leisure with my friends or by myself. The ticket is very cheap, it only cost NT.15 and you can spend half-day here. There are not only exhibited some painting or traditional Chinese painting, but also some contemporary arts such as Images, public arts or furniture designs…etc. The Taipei Biennial is one of the most expectant exhibition in the museum and there are a lot of great and surprised works in Taipei Biennial. Next to the museum, there is a beautiful park in the right side and there is an English-like building in the left side. The building is called Taipei Story House where was the house built by a merchant prince for play host to his friends 90 years ago. Now, that is a place for exhibit some things about Old Taipei and there is a restaurant for visitors. The House is also an interesting place to visit.
5、【當代藝術館】當代藝術館可說是第二個美術館,每次一有新展覽我一定要衝回台北去看。此館原為屬古蹟,台北舊市府。在2001年規劃成當代藝術館,創下了許多台北第一:它是台灣第一個以「當代藝術」為定位的美術館﹔它是台灣第一個古蹟化身的美術館;在經營上,它也是台灣第一個採公辦民營制的美術館。相信很多台北人只聞其名卻未曾到過這裡。初訪此地時,會有一種走在時空交錯的空間之感,漫步在一個曾經是小學,然後成為台北市舊政府的紅磚古老建築,經過拱門長廊進入一間間充滿現代感的藝術空間展覽室。這裡所展的作品總讓人有一個個驚歎號,使人流連忘返於兩層樓的小小空間中。另外,當代館有個特色是它的門票,50元的票價比起北美館是不便宜,但是它的票都會因展覽的不同而精心設計過,每每拿到票都愛不釋手,可以帶回家作紀念。
5、【Museum of Contemporary Art】MOCA can be said the second Taipei Art museum. I love the place very much, when there is some new exhibition I must went back to
5、【擎天崗】位於陽明山上的擎天崗是個一個喧嘩台北裡的一個世外桃源。更是台北學校的莘莘學子們做團康活動的地點之一(至少以前是啦!現在不知還是不是,畢竟我不屬於台北學校的學生。)以前還在台北的時候會坐15號小型公車到冷水坑,然後走魚路古道(這名字是因為古人會挑魚走過這條路去販賣)或經涓絲瀑布走到擎天崗。擎天崗是一個廣大的草原,是日本殖民時期規劃成牧場用的,現在到那邊去還可見一些可愛的牛群(所以不要穿紅衣去喔!哈哈),很愛擎天崗給人的廣闊感,遠離城市的喧囂,擁抱藍天白雲綠地的大自然。據說以往美加營去過擎天崗的ABC們都對這地方印象深刻呢!
5、【Chingteingang】Chingteingang is a Xanadu on the Yang Ming Mountain and it also a place where the university students in Taipei like to do club activities. When I was in Taipei, I sometimes took the bus 15 to Lengshuikeng and walk to Chingteingang through a small waterfall or by Old Fish Road(The name of the road is because the ancients carried the fishes by the road to sell the fishes) Chingteingang is a widest grassland. It was the pasture during the Japanese-Age and you still can see some cattle there. I love the expansion feeling in Chingteingang and I can leave the noisy in city and enjoy the works of God. That was said that some ABCs who had ever gone there in the CYC camp also make good impression in this place.
