Did you know? In the warm southern country of Pingtung, there is also such a place that combines old houses with creativity. That is "Pingtung Craftsman Town". This was once a dormitory for county government employees. Now, through revitalization and reconstruction, it has become a cultural alley that brings together handmade, coffee, desserts, design, selection and performances. The old house that retains the traces of time has been injected with new life by a group of young craftsmen, making this alley more and more interesting and more story-filled.
🏚️ From ruins to cultural and creative: the new daily life of old houses
The overall space of Pingtung Craftsman Town is not large, but each small shop has a distinct personality. The originally dilapidated walls and mottled wooden windows have now become a landscape of retro and modern interweaving. You can find cloth bags and pottery from Pingtung craftsmen in a selection store, or you may hear the owner talk about the original intention of starting a business in a dessert cafe. This is a "slow" place - walk slowly, choose slowly, and slowly get to know the story of each store owner.
🧁☕ Specialty shops × One-day shopping is enough
🔸 Island Dessert Shop: A dessert shop in an old house, the chiffon cake is super dense, and the popular signatures are "Bracken Cake Chiffon" and "Rich Matcha Tower"
🔸 Tomorrow Production: Sells handmade designs and second-hand style selections from Pingtung youth, perfect for treasure hunting
🔸 Brown Sugar House: Specializes in creative brown sugar drinks and snacks made from Pingtung agricultural products, with a strong local flavor
🔸 Flower brick wall painted wall: Super popular IG check-in spot, must-take photos for literary youths to check in
🔸 Regular exhibition space/holiday market: Exhibitions, markets, and handmade experience activities are held from time to time
📸 Recommended photo spots: 👉🏻 Vines on the exterior wall of the old dormitory + washed stone floor 👉🏻 Paintings, dried flower decorations and retro poles in the alleys 👉🏻 Display cabinets of handmade products from various craftsmen, fabrics, utensils, and fragrances are super healing to take pictures of! 🌿 Local spirit × youth creativity × inclusive living space 🌿 The cuteness of Pingtung Craftsman Town is not only because it is "good to take pictures", but also because there are really "people" behind it. Most of these craftsmen who have settled in are young people who have returned to their hometowns to start businesses. They use their own ways to create a new life for Pingtung. This is not just a commercial street, but also a spiritual settlement where "slow is faster". 👉🏻 When you are tired of shopping, you might as well sit on a wooden chair outside a cafe, watch the sun shine on the window lattice, and let time stop temporarily. This is the smell of Pingtung. 🌿 📍【Transportation Information】
