According to an article from CNN, Taichung was found by locals to be Taiwan’s most livable city. Many Taiwanese prefer it to Taipei for its milder weather and laid back vibe. It’s regarded as an arts and cultural hub of Taiwan with its many interesting museums, art installations, and design boutiques.

Taichung is one of Taiwan’s biggest cities. In fact, it’s the second biggest by population, bigger than Taipei and second only to New Taipei City. As you’d expect from a city of over 2.7 million people, it has an overwhelming number of food choices.

Located in the heart of Taichung, Calligraphy Greenway is the arts and cultural center of the city. It’s a must-visit place in Taichung where you can go to enjoy exhibits and performances, visit museums, and explore artsy neighborhoods with rows of interesting shops and boutiques.

Sun Moon Lake is designated as one of the thirteen national scenic areas in Taiwan. Located about two hours south of Taichung, this picturesque lake boasts one of the most breathtaking cycling routes in the world according to CNN.
