Step into the city's other side with The Place, and find new stories.
02 / 02
A city has more than one face. We often stick to familiar routes and common sights, overlooking another side of the city and its different ways of storytelling.
"The Other Side of the City" is not about hidden spots, but about landscapes we thought we knew yet never truly understood. It could be a forgotten moment, a unique philosophy of life, or cultural habits quietly kept by locals. When we slow down and change our perspective, we find the city holds many more possibilities.
The Place serves as a starting point for travelers to encounter the city. Through design, curation, and experience, we offer new ways to interact with the surroundings and find stories unnoticed in daily life.
This time, The Place welcomes you
To see, feel, and find the city's other side
How well do you know your city? Take our quiz to find the answer.
City Expert Quiz
Now Open
Our first step is a fun "City Expert Verification Exam"
We invite everyone to test their understanding of the city. You might find that many familiar topics are quite different from what you thought.
Do you truly know the other side of daily city life?
Is everything in Tainan really "sweet"? Is this unique taste a cultural heritage or a collective local habit? In Taichung, the choice between Dongquan and Yuanmei chili sauce is a serious debate, even for breakfast noodles! And Nankang—it is neither in the south nor a harbor—where did its name come from?
These seemingly simple questions hold the history of urban development and cultural choices. Through this quiz, The Place leads travelers to see the familiar city and the stories hidden behind its other side.
What Kind of
City Observer
Are You?
We use five roles to outline the different depths of encounters between travelers and the city:
Some have just begun their journey, eyes full of wonder; others have already found their own way of life within familiar alleys.
The Novice: Approaching the city for the first time, seeing a vast, fresh world.
The Intern: Perceiving daily textures and seeking a direction to walk.
The Talent: Finding a steady pace as the city begins to respond.
The Local: Familiar with every corner, where every turn holds a memory.
The Master: The city is now daily life, and every step feels like a reunion.
The Place invites you to bring your curiosity and walk into the heart of the city. Notice the details in the ordinary and see the city's other side.

Starting from the entrance, guests will see questions from netizens on the window films—those familiar things we never gave a second thought. Inside the hotel, answers are subtly placed within the space, revealing another side of the city through a silent dialogue.

At the dining table and in public areas, city topics act as a catalyst for interaction. A single question on a placemat might invite reflection, allowing your taste buds to meet local flavors and character while you eat.

From the lobby to the elevator, and from the walls to the dining table, The Place hopes travelers find a new perspective at every turn: whether it's the local debate over the right chili sauce for noodles, or the urban legend of why Tainan food is always sweet.
These familiar daily details, often overlooked, reveal another side of the city during your stay.
