Although Shapowei no longer has the function of a fishing port in the past, locals have opened up new ways. The old factory building of Xiamen Aquatic Products Processing Factory was modified to become the West Arts District, which has become a young cultural and artistic district that emerged beside the Shapowei Wind Sand in Xiamen.
Every weekend, a market event is held here, with a wide range of small accessories and retro products. This large bicycle with great artistic characteristics in the park has become a popular check-in place for internet celebrities, and merchants have entered the park in a constant stream, driving the popularity of the park. The once declining old wharf is now full of vitality.

The artistic atmosphere of Shapowei is also "brewed" a beer factory. The decoration style here is full of personality, retaining the industrial style of the original frozen factory. You can see various boilers and graffiti when you enter the store. The crisscrossing pipelines are so handsome. With the help of Xiamen's extremely popular tourist popularity, craft beer in the ground is known to more people.

Pangpin Beer Horse, which focuses on craft beer, has attracted a large number of tourists who come here and has become a very representative internet celebrity check-in point in the West District of Art. Behind the success is the combination and persistence of Xiamen's local culture and traditional beer brewing craftsmanship.

Town becomes an internet celebrity check-in point
Small town entrepreneurship is the direction of many Taiwanese rural efforts in recent years. In Zhushan, Nantou, there are local teams that transformed old and abandoned stations and became a hot spot for internet celebrities to check in.

walked onto the second floor of the station, and the fragrance of rice came. The local dried bamboo shoots and meat were favourites. Old buildings became restaurants. Bamboo production and sales from farmland to dining tables are one-stop. Local workers skillfully designed and decorated the dining environment.

The person who rented the station was He Peijun, a son of Nantou. He once watched the number of tourists increasing year by year. He originally thought that the town was about to flourish, but found that local youth continued to run away. Zhushan, which seems lively, cannot make money in the real estate industry and talents are out of stock. He Peijun tried to convert the "scenic economy" with output value into a "resident economy" centered on the local area. He rented an abandoned station and used it as the starting point for the town's birth.He Peijun

is not just a station. The location of the experiment was expanded to the community. He Peijun gathered talents from various fields together and formed a "Zhushan Team" to attract local and foreigners to start businesses here. In order to solve the lack of talents in the local area, He Peijun launched the idea of "for employment and accommodation" to attract young talents to return to the town and design spaces to market Zhushan.

The traffic returned home. The passenger transport of the station was originally stopped. The Zhushan experience became a popular course. He Peijun even led the Taiwan team to go deep into rural areas across the mainland, copy the local creator model and move westward, and jointly promote the implementation of the "rural revitalization" plan with his mainland compatriots.

Also in Taichung, the site of the fourth credit cooperative that has been retained for 53 years has now been transformed into an internet celebrity ice store. In addition, the original rotating vault gate and steel cement appearance add a cultural and creative color to Taichung Central District.
