Taiwan’s second most populous city is just as modern and busy as Taipei and Kaohsiung, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Tainan served as Taiwan’s capital under the Qing dynasty for almost two centuries, and it’s now home to many ancient fortresses and temples.

Located in XiAn, the Chinese capital of hi-tech industry and modern development, this flagship bookstore will take your breath away. The goal of the design was to create a place where people, cultures, and books from all over the world can meet.
This unique bookstore is an amazing example of modern architecture. Its focus is on the private experience a reader has with a book. Carefully planned lighting accentuates the books and makes them look like they’re floating in the air.

]]>Friends lovers will appreciate all the references to the Centrel Perk as well as the art collections from the show, the famous couch, and Joey’s stuffed penguin Hugsy that can be seen throughout the cafe. Even the menu’s based on the show’s characters—Gunther has a page for coffee, Phoebe’s for healthy teas, and “Joey Doesn’t Share Food” for sandwiches.
Animal cafes are nothing new, but Oja Cafe takes it up a notch with alpacas. When entering the cafe, customers are given carrots to attract the alpacas to their tables.
Have you ever dreamed of eating out of a toilet bowl? You can enjoy a drink from a urinal or chocolate ice cream from an Eastern commode at the Modern Toilet Restaurant.
This cafe is all about Legos. There’s even Lego-shaped furniture, cushions, and throw pillows. The food is Lego-themed and includes small cupcakes with edible Legos on them and a Leo-figurine-shaped waffle.

]]>This is a must-see spot for animal lovers visiting Taipei since it’s really a one-of-a-kind experience. Animal cafés are not impossible to find, but one with alpacas freely roaming around is a true rarity you won’t get to see anywhere else.
In addition to enjoying some delicious coffee and treats while hanging out with alpacas, you also get to feed them carrots and other foods approved by the owner, so you basically get to have a meal together!
Only a couple of alpacas are allowed inside, but you can take a look at the rest of them during your visit. Oia Café comes with a small backyard located beside it, where you can visit and hang out with all the alpacas the owners of this café are taking care of.
