Taiwan Immigrants' Global News Network-Starbucks Collaborate with Historical Site and Opens Starbucks Tainan Cultural and Creative Store

This year, Starbucks launched a new branch in the Tainan Cultural and Creativity Park, collaborating once more with Taiwan's historical monuments. The structure is a Japanese-style structure with a touch of European design. It seems like entering a time tunnel to travel back in time as you step into the store and are greeted by the scent of coffee.

The Starbucks Cultural and Creative Store is Tainan's first coffee shop to incorporate historical locations; it originally opened earlier this year. It is situated beside Tainan Train Station in the Tainan Cultural and Creative Park. The structures in the shop have a 100-year history and were constructed during the Japanese occupation. The structure has continuous windows on the wall, and its front is covered in red imitation bricks. Within the structure, the original floor has been partially preserved. A large field of vision is created by the bar counter's island design, which is positioned in the middle of the room. Beyond the structure, you can glimpse a Japanese garden.
