TAICHUNG National Taiwan Museum of Fine Ar ts
The city,
which ate up surrounding Taichung County in 2010, has a total population of over 2.6 million, with just over 1 million in the urban core. This core is known for its roominess. There is park space aplenty, and big museums, spacious restaurants, and sprawling teahouses. In numerous locations broad meridians separate parallel road sections lined with restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and galleries. Known for having Taiwan’s most pleasant weather – drier than Taipei in the far north and cooler than Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s second city, in the far south – Taichung’s pace is noticeably laid back. To give you a taste of what the city has to offer, following we present samplers of three major districts of distinctive character.
