Tainan is the earliest developed city in Taiwan and is known as the ancient cultural capital. This time I stayed at the Ching Tian Live B&B, which was renovated during the Japanese Occupation era. I believe that those who frequently travel to Kyoto can experience the classic Kyoto machiya architecture. Atmosphere, this is also the most unique place in Tainan B&B.

This time I stayed in a private Kyoto room in Building B. The bedroom is located on the second floor. It is equipped with two double beds, which can sleep four people. It has a high wooden roof and wooden floor. You have to keep your feet light when you step on it, adhering to the style of the old house. Although it is equipped with modern toilet and sink space, whether you like it or not will really vary from person to person. At least it is not suitable as a space for children to run and play. The wooden stairs up and down also have to be walked carefully, so when we checked in, Just let the little burger move in the space on the first floor.
The bedroom space on the second floor is quite spacious. After placing two double beds, there is still plenty of space for activities. Traditional Kyo-machi houses usually only have one bathroom. When Qingtianju was renovated, bathroom space was added, although the second floor only has toilet and sink space. , But it is quite practical when multiple people move in.In addition, the bedroom space on the second floor has a high ceiling space pattern, so when you check in in summer, the effect of the air-conditioned cold room needs to take some time, which requires psychological preparation.

Qingtianju adopts modernly designed bathroom and kitchen space to meet the needs of modern people. The living room, bedroom and Japanese room maintain the traditional Japanese architectural style as much as possible, so that people can experience the accommodation atmosphere of the old house while enjoying the convenience. The accommodation function of the old house can be said to be an excellent example of the renovation of an old house. Only the soundproofing effect of wooden buildings is limited. This is an insurmountable place. I also hope that the residents can stay as quiet as possible. If there are children, try to stay in the same place as possible. Floor activities.

✅Comprehensive review: Tainan Japanese-style wooden old house renovated Kyomachiya style accommodation
Qingtianju has the advantage of being located in the center of Tainan's key tourist areas. It is within walking distance to Tainan’s classic attractions and food. It provides private accommodation with washing machines and kitchens. With tatami and room space on the first floor, it is very suitable for supporting the elderly and the young. For families with parents and children, although the interior design and equipment have been modernized, the wooden structure of the old house is renovated, and the sound insulation effect is not as good as the cement building. It is suitable for people who can appreciate and love the style of this old house. You must have this knowledge when booking a room. .
