"Unexpected, cute and good art place in 新竹"
Virintorn Kantaravichaiwat (Sand)
"I see great potential for this site - but has yet to be realized. There are some artisans that have shops there, and if they are open you may find some interesting things. I hope for an opportunity to help develop this site. There is a great deal of wasted space, and no one has opened a restaurant next door (the pizza place is gone)."
