Eslite Ximen Hidden in old Taipei, a hipster hotspot, a quiet corner in Ximending

#7月好去处2025 📍 No. 52, Emei Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City | 10 minutes walk from Exit 6 of MRT Ximen Station In the noisy and youthful Ximending, there is a place that is particularly different. There are no ostentatious neon lights, nor are there loud salesmen. Eslite Life Ximen is quietly hidden at the corner of Emei Street, as if it is a space that only people who know the password can find. As soon as you turn into this street, the whole person feels like being healed. 📚 Three-story space, each floor is a world Walking into the first floor, it is a lifestyle selection area that mixes fashion and design. The brands here are not like the standard ones in department stores, but have a rebellious and young personality, like giving us who still have students in our hearts a little willfulness. You can see the works of local designers, and there are also some niche brands quietly placed in the corner, not disturbing people, but very charming. Going up to the second floor, it feels a little like visiting a trendy store selected by the editor. Clothes, bags, fragrances, handmade items... I want to touch and take home everything. Even the clerks are chill and not clingy, giving people space to shop freely. My favorite is the bookstore on the third floor. The high-ceilinged space retains the traces of the old theater. The wooden floor makes a little noise when stepped on, but it is not noisy. Instead, it adds a sense of quiet soul. I took a book of illustrated prose on the small chair next to the bookcase over there, and forgot the time while flipping through it. Do you know that feeling? The outside world seems to have slowed down, and only the distance between myself and the book is real. 🕯️ Life fragments that only appear in movies Eslite Life Ximen gives me a feeling that is very different from ordinary Eslite. It is not so "high-end" or particularly literary. Instead, it is like a corner of our youth, mixed with comics, trends, stationery, coffee fragrance and an indescribable taste of life. I saw a couple trying the essential oils of each other in the fragrance area on the second floor that day, and they smiled so happily. I also saw a boy flipping through a notebook in the corner, with paper tapes cut by himself on each page. I thought, maybe these people, like me, found a little peace and imagination here. #EsliteLifeXimen #WenqingWalkingMap #TaipeiXimending #MyReadingTime #Esliteisnotonlybooks
