Last Updated: 2024/09/17, For the exchange of professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (official Wechat account cafe_style). In recent years, retro nostalgia has sprung up in Taiwan, which seems to be blowing a different kind of Renaissance. Hidden in the alleys of Taipei, there is a cultural relic cafe called Qiu Hui Literature Library, which condenses Taiwan's 400-year cultural history. As soon as I entered the store, I felt as if I had gone through the time tunnel and went back to the prosperous days of Taiwan.

In recent years, with the rise of retro nostalgia, Taiwan seems to be blowing a different kind of Renaissance. Hidden in the alleys of Taipei, there is a cultural relic cafe called Qiu Hui Literature Library, which condenses Taiwan's 400-year cultural history. As soon as I entered the store, it was as if I had gone through the time tunnel and returned to Taiwan's bustling years, which was highly respected by Japanese tourists. However, this museum, which has been open for many years, will also blow out the lights on October 1, making many tourists sigh.

The Qiu Hui Library not only has a collection of tens of thousands of old photos of Taiwan, but also has many out-of-print posters from the Japanese occupation period, including posters of tea, sugar, and beer exported to Taiwan during the Japanese occupation. In addition, there are all kinds of early paintings in the collection, such as portraits of Pingpu women. The shop even combines with cafes to allow tourists from home and abroad to come here to taste Taiwan's history and customs in detail.

In June 2010, the Qiu Hui Library began to display Taiwan's historical relics, and as the landlord has another plan, the store will draw an end on October 1, 2017. The treasures collected in the store will be stored in the National Museum of History in Tainan.
