Located in central Taiwan is a beautiful place that not only foreigners find amazing, but is also a favorite destination for most Taiwanese. Apart from being the cultural center of Taiwan, it is also the birthplace of our favorite Boba Tea! – Taichung. If you want to get away from the over-crowded Greater Taipei and enjoy great sunshine, have unique cultural experiences, explore local cuisine and many more things, Taichung is your best option!
Right after you arrive
If you love natural scenery, Gaomei wetlands, Guguan hot springs, and Lishan scenic area are places that you can put on your checklist. Dajia Jenn Lann Temple is also a wonderful cultural experience that one must explore in Taichung. But before you get going to these places, you must explore the local Miyahara signature ice cream, near the Taichung train station and you can also plan to pack some of their delicious bakeries as souvenirs for your loved ones. While enjoying your ice cream, you can also take advantage of the locker facility nearby, in case you need to deposit your luggage.
A unique cultural experience
Named after the cursive writing of Chinese calligraphy, Calligraphy greenway offers a unique cultural experience. Take a beautiful stroll in this scenic 3.6 kilometers stretch while you explore the National museum of natural science, National Taiwan Museum of fine arts, civil square, food court and many more local attractions here.
Taichung’s famous night market – Feng Chia night market
A visit to Feng Chia night market is another must-have experience for those visiting Taichung. It started as a place for college students to have delicious snacks at night but has now become a sprawling venue to spend an evening doing shopping, playing games and enjoying the local cuisine. Things to check out – Stinky tofu, pearl milk tea, tofu pudding soup, oyster omelet, etc.
A hidden treasure: Rainbow Village
Featured in Lonely Planet’s ‘Secret Marvels of the world’ guidebook in 2017, is one of Taichung’s hidden treasures, the famous Rainbow village. Started by a veteran soldier who wanted to bring his dreams to life by painting on the walls of the military housing complex, it is now honored as an art treasure worth preserving by the city.
