One of my college classmates works part-time at the Stationery Store in Eslite. She said it was really a satisfying job for her; that she liked being surrounded by such high-quality products and particularly appreciated the 20 per cent discount offered to staff.
Other floors offer special attractions too. There are boutiques on the first floor, and a children's discovery museum on the fifth floor. Eslite Culture, which has theme restaurants, is situated on the sixth floor. Meanwhile, the basement floors are worth visiting too. The B1 level sells mainly trendy designer items for young people while the B2 level offers snacks and exotic foods, including vegetarian dishes.
Established in 1989, the Dunnan Eslite Bookstore was the first to set up a 24-hour bookstore in Taiwan to attract night-time readers.
Once I visited the bookstore at 11 p.m. simply because I was curious to see if anyone was seriously reading books in a store at such a late hour. To my surprise, there were a lot of people reading there. In fact, there were more people there late at night than during the daytime.
At that moment I realized Eslite was a portal through which people in Taiwan could pass to stimulate their minds and rejuvenate their spirits. Eslite is a place where visitors to Taiwan can get a glimpse of another aspect of Taiwan's vibrant night life. My experience that night made me understand why people love Eslite so much. Eslite provides a lifelong learning environment that encourages people of all strata of society to explore their inner depths and realize their full potential.
