Founded in 1927, it was once the largest Chinese bookstore in Taiwan and a cultural and artistic hub of its time, as well as a cherished memory for many elderly residents of Taichung. After many years of inactivity, it reopened in 2020.
Address：235, Section 1, Taiwan Boulevard, Central District, Taichung City 400, Taiwan
The three-story semi-circular building features a beige exterior adorned with the golden letters of the Central Bookstore. It’s hard to imagine that this is an old bookstore. Thoughtfully designed, the Central Bookstore retains the best-lit areas for seating, and it combines a café and craft selections. There is also a family section and a children's book area, making it a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee with a book on a leisurely afternoon.
