Based on the Herb Alley at Wan-Hwa, this research is to investigate the factors and process that which are influencing the transition of industrial landscape. Herb Alley is the biggest cluster of herb retailing in the Northern Taiwan. It is a historic street in the process of marginalization of Taipei city development. In addition to introduce the background of Lung-Sun Temple and Herb Alley, the evolution and impact factors of the transition process will be discussed. The evolution process from herb commerce to tourism and cultural place has demonstrated the social-spatial interaction effects on the industrial landscape.

3. The content of industrial landscape of Herb Alley is influenced by factors in four different dimensions, namely, industrial function, population changes, urban development and technological development. In brief, the importance of Herb Alley has shifted from medical function to tourism function.
4. Although the city government has tried to influence the development of Herb Alley, the hardware-oriented approach could not effectively establish local identity.
