Six shops from Tainan to Taipei. 錦源興 has the best reviews (service 32 to 1, atmosphere 20 to 1): a fabric shop in a converted old building, selling printed cloth with Tainan motifs. 趣活藍晒圖 is praised for both its product selection and its space (17 positive mentions each). ⚠ Know this before visiting 林百貨 in Tainan: its service reviews lean clearly negative (1 positive vs. 11 negative), its atmosphere is 10 to 11, and the lack of accessibility facilities and elevators is often criticized. A wide product selection is its strength; service is not.

趣活藍晒圖(Name refers to cyanotype (blueprint) printing)
Inside an old Japanese-style building, half is a curated creative goods shop and half is a set-meal restaurant, so you can sit down and eat right after browsing. The pork cutlet, karaage, and nikujaga (braised meat and potatoes) come in generous portions, drinks are included generously, and the staff explain the products patiently. It works well as a place to rest while exploring the park.

There is a wide range of cultural-creative items, of decent quality and practical. They differ somewhat from cultural-creative products found elsewhere, and some people buy them as gifts.

Both the cultural-creative items and the food and drinks are reasonably priced, with no markup for the cultural-creative label and no service charge. Good value by Tainan standards.
