Many old building renovations in Taiwan are quite distinctive, and this spot across from Hengchun Christian Hospital may look like crumbling ruins from the outside. But after being spruced up, it has been turned into a secret base called the "Button Warehouse," creating a hidden oasis of an open-air bar and market that’s a must-visit hot Instagram spot in Pingtung.

The exterior, seemingly broken-down and dilapidated, has been transformed into the uniquely charming "Button Warehouse." (Photo / netclear, the same below)

The Button Warehouse was originally an abandoned sugar refinery and rope factory. Through art creation, it embodies the concept of "recycling and reuse." After a year of renovation, it has been reborn as the most laid-back startup hub in southern Taiwan. Here, a variety of unique shops gather—bars, barbecue spots, restaurants, cafes, vintage clothing stores, surfing, skate parks, and more to satisfy all kinds of interests.

When the lights of the open-air bar come on, they create a surprisingly amazing atmosphere around the area.

There are many bars in the space, making it perfect for hanging out with friends for a drink.

As soon as you step into the old warehouse, it feels like entering a highly distinctive cultural and creative market. The decor is retro with a slight exotic flair, and the comfortable, lazy design layout creates a breezy, relaxed vibe. There are occasional live music performances that immerse everyone in the space, turning the whole night into something full of South Pacific charm.

The various retro and multi-element decorative styles are quite unique.

Live music performances are sometimes held, adding to the cozy atmosphere.
