Among its many tourist attractions, Taichung offers a downtown shopping experience similar to that of Tokyo or Manhattan, a bustling nightlife, and a cuisine to please even the pickiest palate. Travelers come to this city to feast their eyes on the temples, markets, parks, and museums. Touring families often visit the Taichung National Museum of Natural Science to marvel over the exhibits or the Feng Chia night market to purchase local goods. But perhaps what Taichung is known for the most is Bubble tea, the most famous beverage in the region.

Admittedly were lucky to be visiting during the Taiwan Biennale, which was superb. But putting aside the current major exhibition, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts is a great example of a public art space. In particular its permanent exhibitions on the third floor with exemplary accessibility aids, has to be commended. Loved our visit, and will definitely return.

This is THE place to go to view beautiful sunset against a backdrop of windmills. The place is windy (obviously!) and packed with people all waiting to catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunset. There is a boardwalk over the wetlands (where tiny crabs can be seen scrambling..) and although there are loads of people, you can still see the sun slowly disappearing over the horizon ! Go early to grab a seat on the boardwalk, dangle your legs over the boardwalk, enjoy the wind and just wait ... it's worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.

As soon as I stepped in this temple, I feel that this place is magical, as this temple is really crowded with visitors & followers.. and the other God/Goddess visiting from other temple to here is nonstop... and this is very interesting because as God/Goddess visiting here, they will bring on a parade of their own, it consist of possible dozen of person to parade their entrance and exit into this temple... They welcome all visitor to even go in and make prayers... no restriction... but as all temple .. please show respect and wear appropriate... This temple definite has it own charm "magic"... it doesn't matter what religion you into, just pay this temple a visit, and you will see the charm I am talking about

I brought my young family of five, two of whom were novices at cycling. The track was exceptionally friendly, yet sufficiently challenging to make it worth the while. Being able to cycle on a river spanning bridge, and a nearly 2km tunnel made the trip worth it. We went fully pedal power. The tunnel is fully lit and has pictures of what it was used for in the past along the route. As the entire is track is reserved for bicycles, it is extremely safe. Do well to avoid weekends and school holidays though. The end of the track is currently hosting an international flower festival. It is very worth a visit. Check with the bicycle rental companies on where to leave the rental bike safely (there is a light refreshment shop near the flower festival). I spent a tiny amount at the shop on snacks and refreshments after the nearly 5km route. There is another 12km track that starts at the same point. The bike rental companies are competitive and the prices reasonable for 12 speed mountain bikes.

I loved the architecture of this theatre. It's a very stunning example of modern architecture in Taiwan and it makes fun to walk around an discover all the details. The expanse of water on the front is also nice for taking photos with reflections of the building. You can go inside and walk on your own through the public places of the theater – and it looks nearly more interesting from the inside. Don't forget to visit the roof-top! You have good views to the surrounding high-rise buildings.
