Zeelandia Travel & Books

Qingtian Street, nestled between Yongkang and Shida commercial districts, is located right in the heart of the bustling Daan District. Strolling down the street, you will find yourself being accompanied by the nostalgic Japanese one-story houses along the way. This is a quiet and secluded neighborhood with a lot of stories to be told. Hidden on the second floor of an old-fashioned apartment building with an inconspicuous signboard by the entrance, Zeelandia Travel & Books is here to tell its own stories.

The name “Zeelandia” dates back a very long time, as historic as the apartment itself. It is believed that Zeelandia was the first fortress that the Dutch set up in Tainan, and it was the starting point of Taiwan’s acquaintance with the world. All these originated from the Age of Discovery, which is, the beginning of every travel.

Travel is the core idea of Zeelandia Travel & Books, where you can find a handful of travel books that give you serious wanderlust. The owner would love to share all kinds of travel experiences with you. This is a place where ideas and inspiration are always flowing. Unlike most hybrid café bookshops, Zeelandia Travel & Books serves fruit tea produced in Taiwan, instead of coffee. Taiwan tea is a scent of home. The globetrotters travel far but should never forget their roots. If you’re curious about the world and yearning for being on the road, you will feel like home walking into Zeelandia Travel & Books.
