O'rip

In the Amis language, “O’rip” means “life and culture.” It also indicates an attitude of complete openness to whatever arises in our daily lives. For the founders of O’rip Studio, it is very important to keep your eyes and mind open whether being on the road or at home. They live, they travel, and they invite everyone to explore and enjoy all the little things to be discovered in Hualien.

Established in 2008, O’rip Studio is made up of a group of people passionately in love with the beautiful city of Hualien. They issue a bi-monthly magazine that provides newcomers a comprehensive snapshot of Hualien. The publication was such a success that they even opened up a physical store to promote local agricultural products, help local artists gain exposure and allow the public to appreciate their creativity.
