🇹🇼 Travel pins in Chiayi, Taiwan
3 pin selling locations
📍 Hinoki Village, shop in building 13-D
Popular tourist destination, but surprisingly they don't have any proper enamel or metal pins available at all. Added this location here only to show, that just a single shop (building 13-D) actually sells pins about Hinoki Village and Taiwan (none about Chiayi) - but they are those big old-school plastic ones, which isn't really pins people collect. But well, decided that more info is better than no info, maybe somebody will be interested in those ones. See photo: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QwzXuJbP91BrRzZv5.
📍 Chiayi Municipal Museum
Gift shop in museum seems to sell various merchandise related to 320+1 Chiayi City Expo - they have a stall with various souvenirs in theme of this Expo and there they have a set of 4 magnet-based pins with expo mascot/symbol, with Chiayi name mentioned on them. Need to buy a ticket to access it. See photo: https://maps.app.goo.gl/E7R4hrqUS5T8smi68. But here is a big catch unfortunately - you can only buy a whole set of 4, they don't allow to buy individual ones, and price for the set is really pricey when you need just one - 380 TWD.
📍 Chiayi Old Prison gift shop
Gift shop by the entrance to the prison (it's free to enter) sells an interesting and original pin with a cat and lock - cat is related to a history of the prison, it seems. See photo: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8Pn4XgpYMw2F4bRA7.
