Situated within the historic trade building of Hamaxing, which has a history of over 70 years, "Chun Tian Ice Pavilion" revives the classical elegance of the "Chun Tian Pavilion" from the Japanese colonial era. It presents a sophisticated dining experience that interprets Taiwanese ice desserts through the aesthetics of high-end Japanese cuisine, inviting guests to savor a culinary journey deeply rooted in history.
In 1908, the completion of the Taiwan Main Line railway enabled a one-day living circle between the northern and southern parts of Taiwan. "Dagou Station" (now the Old Dagou Station Story Museum) became a crucial transportation hub for maritime and land transport, bringing commercial prosperity and a flourishing import-export trade to Hamaxing during the Japanese colonial period. Nearby, Shimbin Town emerged as a hot commercial area at the time, filled with inns, shops, banks, teahouses, and ice shops. The streets surrounding the train station were even referred to as "Kaohsiung's Financial Street." By 1918, the number of passengers traveling to and from "Dagou Station" had already reached 500,000.
