A few years ago, independent bookstores set off a global upsurge, guided by the non-mainstream Wenqing, and there are many bookstores in Taiwan that focus on experience, exchange memories, and focus on the reader's senses. Perhaps we can use these places to get rid of the commercial atmosphere of high-end texture and over-decoration to regain the fine details of life:
Forget time with daylight, Taitung Akira used bookstore
The slow pace of the mountains and the sea has always been a feature of Taiwan’s Huadong region.

The name of the store was "Shaking" and was taken from the lazy and comfortable image of Taichung "Daylight". Here, you can see the travelers and nearby stray animals wanting to come and go, select their own corners, or turn pages quietly, or exchange their travel experiences. The atmosphere of the store is the same as the time here, compared to the outside world. Flows more slowly. We have clearly realized that there is nothing to worry about in life.

After passing through the back alley of the market, if you do not pay close attention to the shop introduction on the outer walls of the old white apartment building, the “Lonely Bookstore” is completely integrated into the daily atmosphere of the place, and it is like a twin sister across the wall from the “picnic listening and distribution”. , intimately sharing one field.

Like the secret base of the book lovers, the long table that slams into the door makes people want to sit down against the table and find a dialogue with their own in the lines of the book.
