Treasure Hunt

Observe the Buildings

The most fascinating things on Old Street are the beautiful three-dimensional surface sculptures. Someone once saw that every line on the surface of the buildings was stuck on at the site. If there is any problem with the material or form, it is immediately removed and remade. This is how such a beautiful street was made.

Every construction here is an advertisement for skill of the old professional builders. Because Old Street had uneven landscape, builders had to cleverly use the surface lines to adjust to the sloping of the original landscape, and match the neighboring buildings. It needs to be harmonious, and show uniqueness. Any builder who is less than great would not be able to pull this off!

Visiting the stores

Fitting the name of Old Street , there are many old stores, with old buildings and old brand names. Because these buildings follow the principle of honesty and justice to the young and old, these stores have maintained their reputation for years. Here, we saw the old grains store Jin-fa, Shin Sheng Shing Textiles , cake shop, Chinese medicine store, etc.
qJin-fa Rice and Grainsr
This is an old rice grind, established in the Qing Dynasty, Tong-chih Year 11 (1872). Wow! So Old! Over a hundred years of age! In keeping with tradition, old machinery is still used. Even though it's old, it operates normally, just like this old store. On the left side of the arcade, there are bullet marks shot by sweeping Allied jets during World War II, but you have to look for them carefully to see them!

(Shin Sheng Shing Textiles)

The Textile shop of Old Tree Aunt is also an old store nearing a hundred years old. Upon entrance, you feel the waves of nostalgia for history, because the ceiling and furniture are all made of excellent juniper wood, maintained perfectly until now.

(Cake shop)

There are currently only two cake shops on Old Street , the cakes that they make are full of ancient flavor. There are red turtle cakes, gourd pork biscuit, three-hundred cake, phoenix slice cakes, etc V all of these are very tasty Old Street cakes.

(Chinese medicine store)

It was necessary for people from the mountains to pass through this place on their way to Tainan City ; many people buy supplies here, allowing medicine shops to form on Old Street . The old Chidetang Chinese Medicine Store even has a commemorative board given by Wang Tse-shio V a very precious antique.

Activities Plaza
