Tainan Attractions

錢來也雜貨店因偶像劇而走紅成為熱門觀光景點，現在仍維持雜貨店的特色，賣著傳統小零嘴

Qianlaiye Grocery Store was built in 1952 and is an old building featuring a traditional sloping-tile flat roof. Initially, it served as a welfare center for Taiwan Salt Corporation, providing daily necessities and recreational services until the Beimen Salt Field ceased salt production, marking the end of the welfare center. In 2003, French-trained architect Lin Yayin led a group of middle-aged unemployed individuals participating in a diverse employment program to undertake a transformative project, giving Qianlaiye Grocery Store new significance in the modern era. After transforming the vacant space, it became rich in local特色, with the outer walls made of discarded tiles, shells, and oyster shells from the area. A sign hangs in front of the store featuring a gold ingot, symbolizing prosperity and abundant wealth. In 2005, the classic idol drama "Prince Turned into a Frog" was filmed here, setting Qianlaiye as the residence of the female lead. After the series aired, it attracted many tourists to take photos. Currently, Qianlaiye sells a wide variety of toys and traditional snacks, evoking countless childhood memories for visitors.
