However, due to various factors, the street is now experiencing a decline, with mostly well-known large publishers remaining. Despite this, Chongqing South Road remains the street with the highest density of bookstores in the Taipei area. ●Features and Recommendations: During the Japanese colonial period, "Taiwan Book Company" was established on Chongqing South Road, specializing in printing textbooks. After the war, it was renamed "Taiwan Bookstore". The street's literary atmosphere has a rich history. To this day, numerous bookstores still line the street, offering books from various fields and purposes.

Nevertheless, the street remains important, with many publishers and bookstores continuing to serve readers. As you walk in, you can feel the strong scent of books. Pick up a book, read slowly, and immerse yourself in the story. Before you know it, an afternoon has passed. This is a common experience for many who visit Chongqing South Road.
