We are here for 8 months. Most of our customers are tourists and local residents. The tourists are from mainland China, Japan and Hong Kong. While the local residents prefer buying daily goods, the tourists like to buy the things such us “King Men I Tiao Gun”, a kind of ointment that only sold in Taiwan. Since the price is fixed, no one would ask for discount. It’s hard to tell the amount of money they spend in average. It depends.

We do have noise, but it doesn’t because of the flights. And be honest, the airport does not have much impact on our shop.
