Tik Tak Coffee is located in Xihu Town, Changhua County. It is the first and currently the only old house coffee shop in Xihu. The store was originally located in the first silver building "Jinbaoxing Silver Building" built in Xihu in 1939. It has a history of nearly a hundred years.
On the outer wall of the building of Tick Tock Coffee is the English letters "Gothic", which is suspected to be the Japanese pinyin of Jin Baoxing --KINHOKO。
Tick Tock Coffee has been in operation since 2018. Not only has the old building structure in the store been repaired, but it has also been regularly maintained and disinfected, so that it is in good condition. The characteristics of the traditional building are retained, and the space behind the old house is transformed into an independent box for event rental and communication. Artists have also been invited to this meaningful old house to hold classes (including preserved flowers, handmade soaps, glass, leather goods, dessert courses, etc.), and have also cooperated with nearby schools to offer campus care courses, making it an important base for local cultural exchanges.

Combined with the community day reading course, we started from Hunan Elementary School and passed through three points: Weixin Hospital, Laozhai Coffee, and Xihu Art Museum. We visited Xihu Middle Street on foot, and arranged small tour guides to explain the history and characteristics of the buildings to each class.
