Tainan is a city full of history and culture.

bookstores are also places where you can explore diversity of cultures.

and here you can see lots of different books,

treasures and also a lot of things about culture.

It looks like a hidden bookshelf inside your heart,

This bookshelf mostly displays a lot of old books.

For example, there are poetries , language books and Chinese books.

So if someone is looking for some classic old books,

they can come to this bookshelf and look for their treasures.

are actually posters of animation and movies.

the postcards that were found while organizing donated books.

So we just put them together to make into a book.

So this prop room mostly collects a lot of different things other than books.

Mostly they come from people who want to move,

A friend of mine was going to move out but couldn't bear to just throw his possessions away.

and they now function as both bookshelves and a wall decoration.

So a lot of things in this bookstore are reused.

For example, this closet behind me was from a grandmother.

They built a bookstore by all these reused things.

You know, I can find all kinds of second-hand books here in this second-hand bookstore.

And so I can even spend one afternoon just sitting here and reading my favorite books.

We now here at Yancheng Library in  the South District.

So unlike other libraries you might see in many places,

this library has a more innovative and newly design.

And so this place has become a favorite spot of the residents here at this district,

where a lot of tourists would come to visit.

It is meant to separate toddlers from the age of 0-5 with older children.

and are not used to sitting still for too long.

So the kids' books areas are separated into two different parts.

On my left-hand side is for the kids that are 0 to 5 years old,

and on my right-hand side are for kids that are over 5.

is because kids of different ages have different requirements.

Little kids might need parents to care them intensively,

while the kids here might want to write something or read books on the table,

so there would also be some tables down here.

The most special feature that attracts the residents is that

it has a big stair that goes through the first to the third floor.

can feel like sitting in a bunch of books.

yet unlike ordinary libraries where you sit in a strict way.

And so the reason they want to set up this kind of floor is

can just write their homework or read their favorite books on the ground,

and sit in a relaxed manner and do whatever they want.

So we have been to the second-hand bookstore

and I think these places are not just tourist attractions

or instagrammable places for the residents here,

but has already been a part of their life.

So next time when you come to the South District,

you don't have to really pursue for cuisine or tourist attractions,

but just bring a relaxing heart and enjoy your time here at the South District.
