Hamasen Trader Building

I think I can shop around and take a look at a lot of products...

The original site of "Hamasing Merchants Building" was formerly known as "Chuntian Pavilion". It was a high-end hotel in front of Kaohsiung Station during the Japanese Occupation. It was located in a key area of ​​the old Dagou Yiqian Street. During the Japanese Occupation, there was a running railway. The transportation and trade of Kaohsiung Port and the Port of Kaohsiung are booming, and commerce is prosperous. The entire street profile is known as the "Kaohsiung Financial First Street", which is an important historical site in Kaohsiung. After more than one year of restoration since 2017, the original appearance of the building has been preserved, such as stone washing on the exterior wall, indoor grindstone floor, wooden doors and windows, and western-style wooden roof truss structure. After the restoration and opening in 2018, the internal planning related display, Through historical descriptions, old photos, videos, etc., let the public know the glorious journey of Financial First Street.

Came here during the Spring Festival and even holidays, and connected to Xinbin Station. The whole market was crowded with long queues. But inside, the crowds are not as turbulent as outside. When I went to the ice room on the fourth floor to eat ice, the view from the window was quite good. You could see the entire Railway Cultural Park and the Pier 2 as well as the 85 building in the distance. The price of ice products is actually quite reasonable, and there is no over-selling price because of the scenic spots. After eating, I went to the neighborhood and found that there are more and more small shops with cultural and youth style, which are quite different from the impression of Xiziwan. It's a good place to take a walk here, eat or eat ice upstairs, and enjoy the beautiful scenery! After the lights are turned on in the evening, there is a different style!

Thanks to the Kaohsiung City Government for retaining this historic building. The exterior is very avant-garde, like a big ship leading the way. The interior is divided into three floors: The first floor is cultural and creative goods/small farmers' selection/special beer. The second floor is pottery craft/home decoration/DIY for children The 3rd floor is the Spring Field Tea Room/Themed Book Fair. Lectures and guided tours are arranged irregularly The lighting on each floor is great. I really like the atmosphere of this old house. The cultural and creative products in each counter are carefully selected. The bamboo straw hats at "Xiquan" on the first floor and "slow leather" "The flower earrings are very exquisite. Although the price is higher, they are really admirable ❤️; the home furnishings on the second floor are full of gorgeous antiques. Each antique tells its own experience leisurely, as if walking into a time tunnel... I highly recommend everyone to have a chance to visit here, just like doing a SPA to heal the body and soul?

Originally, I didn’t dare to go in when I saw the door. I thought it was a restaurant or something. There were Wenqing products in it, and the atmosphere was slightly similar to Lin Department Store.

I heard a taxi driver say: Kaohsiung's early prosperity started from Hamasing and gradually developed to Yancheng... At that time, it was hard to imagine the prosperity at that time when I looked at the vast Hama Star, which had not yet been renovated and developed, but I liked to hear such an introduction. I recently wandered from the LRT Hama Star Station to the Trader's Building, the Old Sanhe Bank, and imagined the prosperity at that time from the introduction. Originally, I thought that the Trader's Building was handed down from the Japanese occupation era. After reading the information, I found out that it was once bombed by war. In 1951, the bombed Chuntian Pavilion (hotel) was rebuilt into the Trader's Building. What I see now is a building that has been refurbished in recent years, retaining the construction methods and techniques of the Japanese occupation period. It looks very simple. When I walk to the Chuntian Ice Pavilion on the fourth floor and see the cypress roof, I feel a strong Japanese style, especially the palace. ·Nine, I like it ?!

Formerly known as Springfield Hall, it was the tallest building in 1951! Now it has been converted into a restaurant and cultural and creative products. The first floor sells cakes, the second floor has a seating area and a cultural and creative store, the third floor is a restaurant, and the fourth floor is a Japanese dessert shop. There are fewer places to visit and learn more about historic sites. But the location is convenient, Xiziwan Station is a 5-minute walk away, and there is a parking lot nearby!
