The 2008 film Cape No. 7 remains one of the highest-grossing Taiwanese films in history.
The house is an original residential structure in Hengchun that was repurposed for filming rather than a purpose-built movie set.
Hengchun, where the house is located, is the only town in Taiwan to retain its four original ancient city gates.
The film is credited with revitalizing the local economy of Hengchun and attracting a new wave of film-tourism to the Pingtung Peninsula.
Ah Jia's Home is the preserved residence of the lead character in the 2008 Taiwanese blockbuster film Cape No. 7. Located in the historic Hengchun Old Town, the house remains a preserved set piece that allows fans to step directly into scenes from the movie. The building is a traditional Taiwanese-style house characterized by its weathered wood exterior and distinct architectural period features. It functions as a small exhibition space and shop that sells souvenirs related to the film's legacy. As a cultural touchstone in Taiwan, it represents the significant tourism boom that followed the movie's success in the southern Pingtung region. Visitors can view the character's bedroom, complete with props and layout features consistent with the film's depiction.

Combine this visit with a walking tour of the nearby Hengchun West Gate to see the town's historical fortifications.
The space is small; visit during off-peak hours to take photos without crowds blocking the scene.
Respect that this is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and maintain a low volume.
Do not expect a large museum-sized experience; it is a compact, single-building site that is best viewed as a brief stop.
Maintain a quiet tone and avoid touching private belongings of the current residents if the house is actively inhabited.
