Money Come Grocery Store Introduction
Qianlaiye Grocery Store was built in 1952 and is an old building with a traditional sloping tile roof. It served as a welfare association for the Taiwan Salt Company in its early days, providing daily necessities and recreational services, until the Beimen Salt Field ceased salt production, marking the end of the welfare association. In 2003, French architect Lin Yayin led a group of middle-aged unemployed individuals participating in a diverse employment program to initiate a transformative project here, redefining Qianlaiye Grocery Store with a new meaning for the modern era. After the renovation of the idle space, it showcases local characteristics. The exterior walls are made from discarded tiles, shells, and oyster shells from the area, and a sign featuring a gold ingot hangs in front of the store, symbolizing prosperous business and abundant wealth. In 2005, the popular idol drama "Prince Turns into a Frog" filmed scenes here, setting Qianlaiye as the home of the main female character. After the show aired, it attracted many tourists to take photos. Currently, Qianlaiye sells a variety of children's toys and traditional snacks inside, evoking countless childhood memories for travelers.
