📍 Old & Crazy｜A hidden gem of a cafe in ruins on the border of Hsinchu and Miaoli

Tucked away in the mountains near the border of Emei Township, Hsinchu County, and Nanzhuang, Miaoli, lies an old house slowly being devoured by nature—Old & Crazy Café.

Vines crawl along the walls, windows half-closed, creating a scene where time seems to have stood still.

Originally, this cafe was converted from an old building.

While retaining the original appearance of the ruins and the traces of time, it cleverly incorporates glass and wood structures to let in light, creating a sense of "poetry amidst decadence."

Here, you can enjoy a cup of hand-poured coffee, admire the artistic beauty of plants climbing the walls, or simply sit quietly, listening to the wind and insects chirping, absorbing the hustle and bustle of the city.

Every photo resembles a scene from a retro movie,
perfect for travelers who appreciate the fusion of old architecture, the aesthetic of ruins, and nature.

☕ Recommended Activities:
• Combine a visit to the nearby Zhudong Catholic Church and Wugong Hall.
• The afternoon light is softest, creating a perfect photo op.
• Several unique small-scale coffee shops and old houses are also nearby.
