Jindechun Tea House was founded in the seventh year of Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1868) and has now reached the fifth generation. The tea house has remained in its original location without change. Mr. Lin Yinglong, the fourth-generation proprietor, attended Liren Elementary School. He recalls playing near Wumiao Temple, Mazu Temple, and Guandi Port during his childhood. At that time, other businesses in Chouchou Lane included scissor makers and comb makers. At the corner, a merchant sold lamps used on stage, which were very bright and left a deep impression. The lane was also prosperous due to fortune-telling and drawing lots, hence its name, Chouchou Lane (Lot-Drawing Lane). A distinctive feature is the row of large tea urns filled with tea leaves, which are over a hundred years old. They were brought to Taiwan by merchants from Tangshan during the Qing Dynasty. During the Japanese occupation, when the US military bombed Taiwan, houses in this area were razed to the ground, and many of the large tea urns were damaged. Fewer than ten remain in the shop today.
