Classic Scene from "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" × Beimen's Trendiest Cultural & Creative Nostalgia Cabin

When you think of Tainan Beimen, you've surely heard of the "Shell House"—the iconic filming location from the hit drama The Prince Who Turns into a Frog: Chian Lai Yeh Grocery Store! Built in 1952, this former Taiwan Salt workers' welfare hall fell quiet after the salt fields closed. In 2003 it was revitalized through creative reuse and reborn as today's check-in hotspot and cultural landmark!

Saltworks Heritage × Creative New Life

Chian Lai Yeh Grocery Store keeps its original sloped-tile bungalow form. Exterior walls feature salt-field tiles, oyster shells, and seashell mosaics in a strong "salt-country coastal" style—hence the nickname "Shell House." The courtyard is filled with buoys and nostalgic art installations, like stepping into a 1950s Taiwan Salt time tunnel.
