Lu Wen-chun leased this century-old store and tried to maintain its original appearance. Part of the small house is used as a bookstore, with bookshelves on both sides filled with books. Through a book-swapping system, travelers can find a stress-free space to rest and read.
The small attic of Shidianzi 69 Organic Bookstore has been transformed into a backpacker hostel. In the past, due to the large number of children born, a single house had to accommodate over a dozen people. The small attic was a typical example of early Hakka people's effective use of space. Now, it still serves the same purpose, becoming a hostel for travelers to stay overnight.
The old Hakka house, small yet beautiful, has become a private attraction for foreign backpackers to explore. The small bookstore is not just a bookstore; the weathered walls are adorned with artists' paintings. In addition to regular exhibitions, activities such as storytelling by mothers and local light travel guides are being held here, hoping to change behavior and thought through artistic internalization.
