Taiwan's busy cities are well-known for their lively energy, but hidden beyond the bright lights is a true gem: Taichung. This city, which has become my parents’ new home after years in Kaohsiung (高雄), took me by complete surprise. Even though I  found mostly generic tourist destinations in online searches, Taichung seemed to have this charm that captivated me the moment I arrived. Three years away from Taiwan due to the COVID lockdowns had shown me a country in transformation, and Taichung perfectly embodied that.

Now, having fallen head-over-heels for this city, I want to share the five reasons why you should also consider visiting Taichung!

#3: there’s always something to do

I had no idea how much there was to do in Taichung. There are museums, shopping areas, and bookstores — and did I mention there’s so much to do?

#5: yummy food and drinks! 🤤

The food in Taichung is absolutely amazing! I ate so much while visiting Taichung. I had breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, snacks, and then dinner. Even though I was full, I didn't want to miss out on the great food that Taichung had to offer.
