Moriyama House, which opened soon, was originally the old dormitory of Forestry Bureau. After the completion, it is completely new, retaining the nostalgic style of Japanese old buildings, with simple log furniture and green potted plants embellished. The space is just left blank to create a low-key Japanese literary style, like Muji's coffee shop, but it is not as urban as the latter's geographical location. Surrounded by big windows, the room is sunny, and the lawn outside is picturesque, which looks like a better appetite.
The food in Moriyama House, like its decoration, also has a feeling of paying tribute to nature. Everything used in the mountains is taken from the mountains, and all the delicious food is sent to the table by the surrounding farms. If you want to eat boiled rice, spicy fried chicken curry and lemon-flavored roasted chicken leg rice are worth a try, but the most recommended is the country bread made by chef Moriyama. Bread with crispy outside and tender inside, whether it's served with grilled Norwegian salmon in cream sauce or stewed chicken with Italian vegetables, is satisfying.
When I spoke, the name still came from the lyrics written by San Mao: "When I spoke, I was still in tears and the stars were still young." This song is a memory of her first love, and the homestay named after it also has a youthful, simple and retro temperament.
B&B was rebuilt from an old house with a history of more than 80 years. It used to be a clinic and was once used as a hair salon. Although the house is big, there are only three rooms, even the bathroom is shared. The owner squandered the area in a courtyard full of green plants and a living room as comfortable as an old friend's house. All the rooms have no TV, but they are filled with many books and old photos, including several family photos of the landlord decades ago. Perhaps the master's original intention is to hope that people can forget the modern society here and return to the slow life in the past.
Interestingly, the landlord lives next door. He is 80 years old, and sometimes he will sit in the garden in the sun and listen to the radio. According to neighbors, the old gentleman is very particular about his appearance. He wears a suit and tie every day and looks very energetic.
Time second-hand bookstore had a snack in Hualien's famous scallion cake street (Fuxing Street). After that, I wiped the oil star from my mouth and casually walked into this time second-hand bookstore to help me digest. The bookstore is at an intersection, converted from an 80-year-old Japanese wooden house. Some books hidden in it are as old as the house itself.
Before I opened the door, I saw the handwritten prompt on the glass door: "Please close the door behind you and don't let the cat out." So as soon as I entered the door, I deliberately paid attention to the cat's tracks. There are two fat cats, one yellow and one white, lying lazily on the pile of books, occasionally jumping down a few steps, giving me an inexplicable sense of healing.
Most of them are old literary books, and they will be out of print when they are scoured. However, Taiwan Province's books are mostly vertical, and they are traditional Chinese characters, so he may not be used to it. Poetry with fewer words is a good choice, and dyslexia seems to automatically turn into blank thinking needed to digest poetry. If you don't want to increase the weight of your luggage, you can order a cup of coffee and solve it on the spot in a special reading room. A small table with a desk lamp seems to have regained the feeling of reading at night in the reading era.
Burn hemp _ bar Hualien is a small town, so there are many charms that only small towns have. For example, quiet streets, simple human feelings, and ancient customs that are hard to find in big cities such as Taipei. At the end of the old railway pedestrian zone in Hualien, there is a seemingly ordinary burning hemp _ stall, but don't underestimate this shop, because the back of the stall looks small and can only accommodate one person's entrance. When you walk in, it turns out to be a unique burning hemp _ bar. The name of the bar is very interesting. It's called "Alley". The semi-open seating area on the first floor is full of tables and chairs with irregular shapes, and there are several hippie couches against the wall. At night, the wooden bar looks very textured under the faint yellow glow of the light bulb, which makes people want to sit down and have a drink with their friends. Of course, the dishes with wine should choose the signature burning hemp _. The so-called hemp is actually a kind of stuffed glutinous rice dumplings, usually filled with peanuts or sesame seeds, and it is also a kind of mother-brand food in Taiwan Province Province. However, since it is a bar, it is natural to add some bar features and flavor it with wine. It tastes a bit like Japanese sake ice cream, soft, smooth and sweet. No matter whether it is accompanied by craft beer or high-quality shochu, it can collide with unexpected flavor.
CaffeFiore coffee flowers used to decorate storefronts with dried flowers, but there are really few like Caffe.
Fiore coffee flower is so sincere. After the quiet corner between Shanghai and Xiao Zhong, the hut in this corner looks a bit like a small shop in Miyazaki Hayao's animation. As soon as you push the door in, you will confront their black shop cat. In this case, I wonder if there is any magic hidden here.
In the shop, there are dried flowers everywhere, and the smell in the air is fresh and not pungent. The sunshine from the roof window makes it look not closed and crowded, but has a warm and intimate feeling. Ordering a cup of coffee here, eating a cake, looking through magazines and books in the store, an afternoon passed quietly.
Indulge in snacks at a glance. How can there be no snacks after visiting a small shop?

A pond lunch with history and feelings
This is a brand story with a history of more than 70 years, and it is a portrayal of the people's hard struggle spirit in Taiwan Province Province. In the early days of Huadong Railway, it took about 8 hours from Hualien to Taitung. When it arrived at the station on the pond, the passengers were already hungry. At that time, the ancestors in the pool first sold sweet potato cakes in front of the station to serve the passengers. Later, in order to understand the hardships of outsiders, I began to make rice bags and sell them on the platform. Now it has become the first brand of railway bento in Taiwan Province Province.
