In Bishan, Encounter a Real-Life "Ghibli" Wonderland

🚂 A Village Riding the Wind At dawn, pushing open the wooden window, mist drifts over the rice fields like the Catbus from *My Neighbor Totoro*. Under the blue-tiled roofs and horse-head walls, grandmothers dry chili peppers and corn, their bamboo trays bursting with colors brighter than *Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea*. 🏡 A Ancestral Hall Transformed into a Magical Bookstore In Bishan Bookstore, sunlight pours down from the century-old courtyard. The wooden stairs creak, as if you might meet Markl munching a sandwich from *Howl's Moving Castle* any second. 🍞 The Aroma of Wood-Fired Bread At three in the afternoon, the bread oven releases the same fragrance as *Kiki's Delivery Service*. Black sesame sourdough bulges with caramel-colored crusts, and cinnamon rolls curl into adorable spirals. "Fresh out of the oven!" The apron-clad girl's smile is even more heartwarming than Kiki's. 🌄 When Dusk Gilds Yunmen Tower Follow the cow-herding grandfather slowly, and at the end of the stone path stands an ancient Ming Dynasty pagoda. Dewdrops glow on the grass tips, like the entrance to the spirit world in *Spirited Away*. 🍶 A Fairytale Night at the Pig's Inn Bar Red lanterns light up the old oil factory, while rice wine jars bubble merrily. When someone strums a guitar, the whole village transforms into the Earth Shop from *Whisper of the Heart*—"Look, even the stars shine brighter than in the animation." "Perhaps this world has no Totoro, but the winds of Bishan will safeguard all your childlike wonder."
