Zhongshan Underground Book Street｜Taipei's quietest reading corridor, where Eslite Bookstore and cultural and creative products are hidden

#5月好去处2025

Under the bustling Zhongshan MRT station, there is a completely different rhythm from the outside. There are no noisy signs here, only warm lights, book fragrance and slow pace - Zhongshan Underground Book Street. Once a paradise for major book fairs, it has now transformed into an underground art and cultural corridor that gathers Eslite Bookstore, cultural and creative selections, and design showcases. It still retains a quiet temperament and is one of the most healing walking spaces in Taipei.

📚 Quiet reading corner in the city｜Eslite Bookstore Zhongshan Underground Street

The protagonist in the center of the book street is the small and exquisite Eslite Bookstore. Although the space is not large, the quality of the books selected is extremely high, from translated novels, contemporary essays, poetry collections to style photography collections. There is also a whole row of Taiwanese local publishing brands and traveler-themed book exhibitions, so people can dig surprises at any time.

This is not just a bookstore, but more like a breathing station in the city, attracting many office workers, students, and travelers to stop and read, and even quietly finish a book before leaving.

In addition to Eslite, cultural and creative product counters have been set up along the underground book street, selling selected notebooks, fragrances, postcards, original illustrations, special masking tapes, etc. The small and exquisite display is like a miniature underground market, especially suitable for travelers who like to dig for treasures and collect stationery.

There will also be design flash events or small illustration exhibitions from time to time, which makes the underground street more culturally dynamic and more lively than you think!
