小西特色街巷

During the day, you can see the installation art clearly. The Hongye Hotel is closed early. You have to go early to visit.

[The remains of Changhua Ancient City, visit Xiaoxi Street Lane] During the Qing Dynasty, Changhua had four gates since the city was built, namely Dongmen (Le Gengmen), Ximen (Qingfengmen), Nanmen (Xuanpingmen) and Beimen (Architecture), while Xiaoxi Street was located at that time. The main road between the north gate and the west gate. In the Japanese occupation period, it was located in front of Changhua Temple (Train Station), and the transportation was convenient. The wholesale and gathering place of the cotton industry was formed. At that time, it was called "Budian Street". Because of the commercial development at that time, there was a restaurant and a hostel. Xiaoxi The number of hostels in the heyday of the lane has been as many as a few, and the high density is called the hostel lane. Walking is the easiest way to get to know the city. Follow the guide's footsteps, stroll through the ancient city lanes, and talk to history on the long axis of time. The Changhua Old Town roaming, the visit of "Xiaoxi Street" began from the alley next to the Changhua Railway Station in front of the Changhua Railway Station in Changsha (Chang'an Street, Lane 76). The Xiaoxi Street Lane was narrow and curved, and it was impossible to pass the car. There is often the interest of "the mountains and heavy waters have no doubts, and the flowers are dark and bright."

Scenery outside the travel book~ An alley next to Mos Burger at Changhua Railway Station has Chang'an Street written on the map. During the Qing Dynasty, the street between the west gate and the north gate was called "Xiaoxi Street." In the early days when Taiwan’s north-south traffic was not so convenient, the Changhua area became a relay station for north-south transportation and freight exchange, and the area around Xiaoxi Street became the hotel street at that time. Replace the old hostel facilities. Most of the remaining hostels in Xiaoxi Street are also dilapidated, except for the "Hongye Hotel," which is well organized and converted into a composite space. On this day, after visiting the "Qingqingdao" bookstore and "Aizhi Stationery Room" opened by the two young generations at the head of the alley, stroll around Xiaoxi Street in the warm winter sun. Classical music sounds from the houses on the side and all kinds of fun are scattered in the streets. Living objects~ I really like the scenery in Changhua. I also think of the book "Outside Editors", which mentioned that going deep into Japan and foreign countries and directly arriving at the interview "site" can always discover unexpected and interesting things that are closest to the local climate. And these are often not known by travel books or by searching Google maps, and sometimes even local residents are not aware of the interesting terroir in the place.

In fact, Xiaoxi Street is not a street, but a neighborhood composed of several streets adjacent to Changhua Station. It was once listed as the "Taiwan's three major markets" alongside Taipei Dihua Street and Tainan's large vegetable market. As the first ancient city in central Taiwan, Changhua has a strong ancient flavor. The historical positioning of Xiaoxi Street in Changhua is equivalent to that of Zhongzheng District in Taipei City and Central and Western District in Tainan City. Xiaoxi Street is a world of literary youth and retro lovers. "Taiwan's first female revolutionary" Xie Xuehong came from Xiaoxi Street. Lai He, the "Father of Taiwanese New Literature," and Du Congming, the "Father of Taiwan Medicine", once held a class reunion on Xiaoxi Street. On Xiaoxi Street, there is the largest Baguayuan Hotel in Changhua during the Japanese Occupation, the pharmacy opened by the father of Nine Knives, the meatballs that Ke Teng ate with friends in the movie "Those Years", the famous gourmet cat and mouse noodles, and The ship-shaped ultra-avant-garde historic site "Gao Binhe" during the Japanese Occupation, with Physician Alley, and the red-brick and western-style former residence of the Du Xigui family, the first mayor of Changhua, has been hidden. In recent years, many cultural and creative industries have settled in Xiaoxi Street, such as Zhang The Aizhi Stationery Room, the Island of Youth, the Hongye Food Tour, and the daily objects on the third floor, which are frequently visited by female students or young people in Zhongzhang, inject a new breath into the scenery of Xiaoxi.
