A stone’s throw from the train station, the compact Xiao-xi Historic Lanes weave together several alleys that mirror the growth of Changhua. Once ranked with Taipei’s Dihua Street and Tainan’s Great Market as one of Taiwan’s three great fabric districts, the area still shelters old guesthouses, street-food stalls, narrow passageways, and red-brick walls steeped in memory. Today creative studios and cafés—Atjai Stationery, Green Island, and 3F Daily Goods—have moved in. Bring a nostalgic heart and wander Xiao-xi’s lanes for a little Changhua getaway.
