Under the neon lights, if there is love, why not indulge in the golden era of the ballroom dreamers at the disco hall in Shilin?
Auto-TranslationIn the alleys of Shilin Night Market, there is a bar called "Dream Chasers." The owner, Hsieh Chia-hao, along with two friends, has such a passion for the culture of the 80s and 90s that they even named their company "If There Is Love Limited." As the owner talks, he plays songs by Beyond, Yuen Fong-ying, and Chung Chun-to, and I can almost see the figures of Andy Lau and Wu Chien-lien whizzing by...
A few years ago, during the level three epidemic alert, Dream Chasers opened in Ximen. Two years later, they chose to establish their second branch in Shilin on April 1st, promoting the slogan "Chasing dreams tonight, not fooling around," aiming to attract those with a romantic sentiment through the music and atmosphere of the 80s and 90s from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Owner Hsieh Chia-hao was born in 1999 but has developed a deep fascination for the music of that era. To this day, his nightly routine before sleep is to press the play button on his cassette player, letting the five songs on either side A or B accompany him to sleep. He said, "The charm of the 80s and 90s cannot be equated with modern pop; the fact that this culture has endured proves its resilience."
