Chen Bohan, a 19-year-old sophomore who has a fondness for the old house, moved from Taoyuan to Gaoshu Township in Pingtung last year, renovated the kitchen left by his grandparents, and turned the idle space into a coffee shop. I hope that tourists will slow down and use the time of a cup of coffee or a pot of tea to read the history of Chuang Tou and enjoy the beauty of the old house.

The kitchen of the Hakka courtyard integrates the local cultural environment of Taiwan, adapts to the high-temperature and humid climate that is different from the original hometown of Fujian and Guangdong, and develops a kitchen building that is different from the tulou or enclosure in the mainland.

Raise 500000 to renovate

Chen Po-Han said that every holiday, his family would take him south to celebrate the festival. Skipping squares, playing rope skipping, and running wantonly in the courtyard of the courtyard were the happiest memories of his childhood. When he returned to the old house four years ago, he found that the roof tiles were crumbling, and his relatives proposed reconstruction, so he secretly decided to save the old house.

At the end of the joint college entrance examination at the age of 18, he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of the first Volunteer screen, and naturally moved back to live in the old house. He raised 500000 yuan and began to renovate it. It took a year, and the old dining room took on a new look. A coffee shop hidden in the courtyard quietly opened.

Continue the life of the old house in the countryside

In his spare time, he is also a coffee shop owner. Coffee and tea are also his hobbies. He says that he is challenging how to live on his interests without schoolwork or work. At present, he can only receive two or three groups of guests a day. There is still a long way to go before making a profit, but he works hard towards his goal, and he is most gratified to see that this room can continue to exist in a different way for the next 50 years.

The coffee shop is located in the main road view settlement. Chen Bohan said that he hopes that tourists who come here will not only look at the flowers, but also learn about the local cultural history. There are stone lions and rich Hakka culture, so they can stop for a while and relax. You can see that the old house exudes a strong ancient flavor.
