Strolling through Jiufen: A charming old grocery store hidden in the mountain town

This kind of unexpected discovery is really the most surprising! I came to Jiufen specifically for filming work that day. While strolling casually in the mountain alleys that are not in the tourist area, I accidentally came across an old grocery store full of a sense of time - "Lao Heshang Commercial Company".

The first thing that caught my eye was the handmade tags and wind chimes at the door made from various beverage cans. When I got closer, I realized that this was actually a very old groceries shop! It is said that this is the only traditional grocery store left in Jiufen. The store still sells all kinds of retro snacks and daily necessities~ It's really super retro!! I love it!!!

The beauty of Taiwan lies not only in its magnificent natural scenery, but also in its remaining “human touch” and “sense of time”. Those ancient streets, mottled walls, yellowed old signs, and even the faint nostalgic smell in the air, that is the most charming charm of Taiwan 💛
