Tourism Centre / Comprehensive report

Things are not necessarily old when they are old, but sometimes they are more flavorful. The retro style that has never gone out of fashion is not only suitable for fashion, but now it is also very popular in the catering market. Restaurants, cafes and bars converted into various old houses are springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, giving young people more access to history. In Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, there are three very popular old house coffee / restaurants. The antique architecture and retro decoration leave a deep impression on people through ancient and modern times.

Master Luzhu X du Zhai Coffee

"Luzhu Da Fu Di", located near the A17 pilot station of the MRT at Taoyuan Airport, is an ancient house in Anhui with a history of 300,400 years. Its owner has traveled thousands of miles from Anhui, China, to Taiwan to assemble it. It is like walking through any door of Tinker Bell. In a second, it comes from Taoyuan to Anhui, and there is also a cafe in the building, so that tourists can enjoy the history while tasting coffee in the antique buildings.

Eight-piece studio

The eight-block studio in Taoyuan, formerly an old clinic, is more than 60 years old. it is now built into an Art Salon Cafe, with dining space on the first floor and a studio, piano room and owner's studio on the second floor, which can be rented for practice and art exhibitions. the whole shop is full of culture and youth. It is also the shooting scene of the popular idol TV series "falling in love with buddies" and "my ghost gay friends". The design of the integration of the new and the old is quite worth pondering.

House+Cafe

House+Caf é, located in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, was rebuilt from the 1910-year-old "Red Mansion". Now it mainly manages restaurants, supplemented by art galleries, irregular art exhibitions and concerts, and specially set up a green dining area outdoors. In the afternoon when the sun is shining, the light pours into it along with the transparent glass, as if the picture shows Lomo special effects, making people call it blurred and dreamy.
