Banana New Paradise

Banana New Paradise

There are many good cafe and theme restaurants in Taichung, and some are located near National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. However, this one is close to the Confucius Temple, Taichung Broadcasting Bureau, and Yizhong Night Market. Banana New Paradise is definitely one of the most extraordinary teahouse in Taichung. It is more like a museum than a teahouse. The whole teahouse contains an entire, authentic-looking recreation of a Taiwan street from 1920 to 1940, complete with Ching Dynasty and colonial-era store fronts and hundreds of real antiques and items collected. This includes old mail boxes, signs and posters, a 50-year-old taxi, motors, photos and fully-stocked camera store, dentist office, candy and toy store, barbershop and movie theater. Visitors can sit at tables along the street, or inside shops, and enjoy Chinese and Taiwanese meals.
