Ximeng Street is not only rich in youth culture; in the childhood memories of fifth graders, Wannian Commercial Building was definitely a place to go. At that time, ice skating was very popular in Taiwan. There were skating rinks of various sizes in the north, central, and southern parts of the country, known as "ice palaces." The "Wannian Ice Palace" in Ximeng Street was an important symbol at that time, with a roller rink (roller skates) and a blade rink (ice skates) on different floors.
With the passage of time, Wannian remains an enduring symbol of youth. From the most popular youth fashion, sneakers, watches, perfumes, mobile phones, and game software, to toys and comics, you can find them all in this castle. Another highlight is the specialty model toy stores, featuring tanks, airplanes, cartoon characters, and robots, which are also popular among teenagers.
The first basement level is also a gathering place for delicious food, including old shops such as "Jinyuan Pig Knuckle" and "Lao Shandong Beef Noodles," as well as well-known places like sweet and spicy fish balls, frog eggs, bitter tea house, set meals, hot pot, and steak. Whether you want to eat noodles, rice, or snacks, you can definitely satisfy your appetite after a round. In addition, Tom Bear's newly emerging game house continues the spirit of Wannian, with continuously updated games such as basketball shooting machines, claw machines, and buoyancy balls. Regularly held game machine competitions allow teenagers to challenge records and strive for the top position.
