Money Comes Grocery Store Introduction
Qianlaiye Grocery Store was built in 1952 and is an old building with a traditional sloped roof design. Initially serving as a welfare shop for Taiwan Salt Corporation, it provided daily necessities and recreational activities until the Beimen salt field ceased salt production, marking the end of the welfare shop. In 2003, French architect Lin Yayin led a group of middle-aged unemployed people participating in a diverse employment program to transform the space, giving Qianlaiye Grocery Store a new significance in the modern era. The renovated space is rich in local characteristics, with the exterior walls made from discarded tiles, shells, and oyster shells from the area. A sign featuring gold ingots hangs in front of the store, symbolizing prosperity and wealth. In 2005, the classic idol drama "Prince Turns to Frog" was filmed here, setting Qianlaiye as the residence of the main character. After the drama aired, it attracted many tourists for photo opportunities. Currently, Qianlaiye sells a variety of traditional toys and nostalgic snacks, evoking countless childhood memories for travelers.
