台北诚品书店

Eslite 诚品 bookstore is easily one of the major attractions of Taipei. I'm sure anyone who's been to Taipei knows about it. For those who don't, our So Simple team strongly recommends the place. The bookstore is not only a delightful haven for booklovers, it also caters to shoppers looking for interesting gifts, stationeries and even fashion, depending on which outlet you go to. For So Simple 2, we visited both 敦南and信义outlets. This one in the picture is 敦南. Though older and smaller, it's not lacking in character and excitement. The other outlet 信义is newer and many times bigger. Yet despite its massive interior, no thoughtful details are spared. The store is amazingly well designed and conducive for booklovers. It is one of the most friendly bookstores I have ever been. The entire store is littered with seats at every corner, and you are even welcome to sit out on the steps. They just want to make you feel comfortable. And like their name in Chinese, they are also very sincere. Due to our busy filming schedules, 诚品turned out to be our favorite hangout whenever we needed to unwind after work. Reason being their late hours.
