#AbsolutelyFreeTrip

Gaifurou Coffee House is located on Xining North Road, one block away from Dihua Street in Taipei.

The exterior is made of red bricks with an emerald green door.

The first floor is a very nice cafe, and the Taiwanese tea and coffee are delicious! They also serve desserts.

Next door is the Taiyuan Asia Puppet Museum, a museum of puppet theater in Taiwan and around the world, and there are panels and bookshelves introducing its founder, Lin Jingfu, and his spirit.

There is also another mini-theater called Natto Theater next door, which was built in 1918, so I think Gyakufurou is also a historic building, judging from its style.

And the important thing about this cafe is that it leads to supporting young people.

I stopped by this cafe thinking it was nice as I was passing by, without knowing anything about its background.

They provide a place to stay, a job, technical support, etc. to young people who are forced to turn to delinquency due to various circumstances, and support their independence.

If you go up to the second and third floors, there is an explanatory exhibit about Gyakufurou. Although the harsh reality that the children experienced is heartbreaking, I'm glad that there is a place like Gyakufurou that can help people find themselves and achieve their dreams. I hope that I can continue to support them in a small way by using the cafe.

The cafe on Dihua Street is extremely crowded, but it's just one street away, so it's calm.
The young staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable, so please stop by.
