Hi friends! I’m planning to visit Taipei at some point next year, and would love to know where the locals get their cute postcards and other stationery goodies. What are your favorite shops in the city?
Please leave me some recommendations that I can check out! 謝謝大家!
Hello!
I recommend you a place in Taipei that I like pretty much:
大龍峒孔廟-which about Confucius and with beautiful historical temples. I did a History project about this place three years ago. I guess you can buy some postcards there if there’s any. And for postcards, I usually buy in Post Offices, you can visit 臺北北門郵局, it’s a super big and beautiful Post Office, also could find more postcards and stamps there.
Hope this will help you, welcome to Taiwan!
Thank you so much, everyone! So many cool things here!
@pekoponjin if you have recommendations in other places, definitely let me know! I’m planning to travel around the island a little bit, but don’t yet know where to exactly.

It has an orange cat manager haha.
There’s a cafe at the back and sometimes an exhibition on the second floor.

It mainly sells postcards and locates in Shen Ji New Village.
The building used to be a dorm for government employees but is a great place to take a walk now.
實心裡 生活什物店

It’s a shop of a design studio, mainly sells notebooks and other homeware.
I really like their display and there’s always something cute to look at.
I would also recommend visiting 愛治文具房 (Aiya Bungu) in Changhua.
address: 彰化縣彰化市長安街76巷7-2號
The owner is an illustrator and designer, and the shop is named after her grandmother.
It offers a wide variety of postcards and stickers.
Hope this would lure you into visiting central Taiwan!
