Just like the Dadaocheng in the off-season and the deserted Hamar star, only those who know the beauty and the stories contained therein have the honor to appreciate it. The container café hidden in the old warehouse, sometimes calmly admiring, you will find that the old is more beautiful than the new, and that mature and sophisticated temperament is the vicissitudes of tempering in time.

This is a container cafe located in a group of old warehouses on Hexi Road. The warehouse is named [C4 Warehouse]. It is impossible to find the store from the main road. You need to go around the small road to see its small and high-hanging sign, so it is a very hidden and private cafe.

The name of the warehouse has multiple meanings. The superficial meaning of "4C" is the warehouse number, but the interpretation of the connotation includes the four English words "Craft, Coffee, Culture, and Creative" with the initials "C". This hard-to-find cafe contains an idea that is loaded in a container, which combines craftsmanship, coffee, culture, and creativity [4C Warehouse].

Rejuvenation requires careful management; for rejuvenation, it needs to be compatible with past footprints and rebirth. This is not only an old warehouse, but also a peculiar coffee shop, and a few recycled containers. In this space combined with several containers, the cafe occupies two. What you can see when you push the door is the position of the bar, there are not many seats, the light is bright, and the clock with enlarged parts on the wall of the box is very creative.

The two container spaces are separated by a corrugated board box wall. A window is hollowed out on the box wall to install a hollow wall cabinet. This design allows both spaces to share the same cabinet and can also connect the activities of the two spaces. After being filled with coffee supplies, it instantly turned into a retro decorative wall.

Walking to the other half of the space dedicated to dining will have the taste of a cafe. Without the noise of people coming and going at the bar, it looks quiet and lonely. There are not many decks in the space, the store is small, and there are not many people, so the seats are naturally not too crowded. At the end of the space, there is a hand-painted wall, which is written by the guests who have been here, showing their design and creativity. The deepest corner is also the warmest corner.
