Taichung

The third biggest city in Taiwan filled with temples, parks, and night markets.

Taiwan is a small and lovely country. After finding cheap airline tickets through a sale on HK Express, I booked a spontaneous trip to Taichung, Taiwan. I spent majority of my trip walking (and sweating) or taking a taxi.  I've heard people book a driver for there stay in Taichung and would advise to message The Taichung Driver on Facebook for help if you plan to explore out of the city.  However, I wanted to focus on the city itself.  There were a 5 major things I wanted to see in the city: Taichung Confucius Temple, PaoChueh Temple, Caihongjuan Village, Maple Garden, and Fenjgia Night Market. You can also stop by the National Museum of Science and Botanical Gardens.  Taichung is a cute city with a lot of hidden gems. It's not that busy of a city either so easy place to relax but have a city you can explore.

Restaurants

  • Make sure to try some bubble tea! It originated in this city!

  • Caihongjuan Village (Rainbow Village) is a village painted by 93-year-old veteran Huang Yung-fu who wanted to preserve his home and prevent the government from relocating him
  • Maple Garden is a cute, modern garden that is located in the north part of the city
  • The famous Fenjgia Night Market is a must
  • ​National Museum of Natural Science and Botanical Gardens has different exhibits and is cheap to visit!

Clubs/Bars
