Wearing a hanbok is one of the must-do experiences in Korea. Putting on an exquisite hanbok and strolling through Gyeongbokgung Palace or Korean streets is a really fun experience, and now you can do it without flying to Korea!A Korean-style dessert shop in Hsinchu has launched an ultra-cool experience of wearing a hanbok while enjoying desserts, and you can also head to nearby historic sites to take artistic photos, as if you’re in a historical drama scene!

Don’t think that wearing a hanbok in Taiwan will look fake or cheap. The dessert shop “RAINmaker Sweets Sweet Rain” in Hsinchu specially imports handmade hanboks from Korea, with quality on par with local Korean hanbok rental shops. The hanbok experience is also very professional, offering not only hair styling services and elegant hair accessories, but also a full range of seasonal hanboks and styles.
The first floor of Sweet Rain is the dessert shop, and the second floor is the Rainingmakers clothing store. Those who want to try the hanbok experience must first go to the second-floor clothing store to change, then head to the first-floor dessert shop to enjoy sweets.
After changing into the hanbok, you can first take some photos in the themed photo area set up by the shop, or you can enjoy desserts and coffee at the dessert shop to experience eating sweets in a hanbok!In addition, Yingxi Gate, which is just a 5-minute walk from the shop, is a must-visit photo spot. Wearing a hanbok and taking photos in front of the ancient city gate feels like traveling back to the Joseon Dynasty — it’s really fun.
The shop is close to attractions such as Hsinchu Railway Station, the moat, and Yingxi Gate, all of which are perfect for taking artistic hanbok photos.
And the dessert part of the Sweet Rain dessert shop is also a major highlight. The desserts in the shop have a French appearance with a Korean flavor, and both the preparation and ingredients of the desserts are mainly characterized by popular Korean elements.
