Dong Yi Cheng Nostalgic Grocery Store Introduction
Founded in 1959 by Kang Wansheng and Xu Anmian (the current owner, Grandma Amian), "Dong Yicheng Store" started as a grocery store selling tobacco, alcohol, tea, rice, oil, salt, canned salted fish, daily necessities, candies, and snacks, offering a wider and more varied selection than today’s convenience stores. The period from the 1960s to 1970s marked the heyday of Dong Yicheng Store, which also served as the ticketing station for Changhua Bus in Puli during that time, making it the go-to place for buying tickets to and from Changhua and Lugang, leading to a high volume of customers. Although modern Taiwanese people typically shop at convenience stores, PX Mart, or supermarkets, something always seems to be missing — a sense of warmth. This warmth is the main motivation for Grandma Amian to continue running the old store; she enjoys chatting with young customers and checking in on her neighbors. After more than 60 years, Dong Yicheng Store remains a place full of warmth! Retail of snacks and souvenirs Features: - Puli's only nostalgic grocery store with a 60-year history, a warm tourist information center. - Taiwan’s only post office agency named "Dong Yicheng," selling Taiwanese stamps and unique postal booklets. - The only cultural and creative souvenir exhibition center at Puli Station, featuring Sun Moon Lake and Puli postcards.
