Founded in 1927, it was once the largest Chinese bookstore in Taiwan, serving as a cultural and artistic hub of the time and a memory for many old Taichung residents. After years of being closed, it reopened in 2020.
Address：No. 235, Section 1, Taiwan Boulevard, Central District, Taichung City 400, Taiwan
The three-story semi-circular building, with its米 white exterior adorned with the golden letters of the Central Bookstore, is hard to imagine as an old bookstore. Thoughtfully designed, the Central Bookstore has preserved the area with the best natural lighting as the seating area, and it integrates a café and a selection of crafts. There is also a children's area, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon to enjoy a cup of coffee along with a book.
