Founded in 1927, it was once the largest Chinese bookstore in Taiwan, serving as a cultural and artistic hub of its time and a memory for many older Taichung residents. It reopened in 2020 after being closed for many years.
Address：235, Section 1, Taiwan Boulevard, Central District, Taichung City 400, Taiwan
A three-story semicircular building with a米白色 exterior featuring the golden letters of the Central Bookstore. It's hard to imagine this is an old bookstore. The Central Bookstore has thoughtfully reserved the area with the best lighting as the seating area, combining a café and craft selections. There is also a children's section and a family area, making it perfect for a leisurely afternoon with a cup of coffee and a book.
