Taichung (November 13 – 15)

On November 13 we walked around Taichung. We headed to the train station to get information for our next destinations, however it was very difficult and sometimes frustrating. We also went to the bus station but did not have much luck either. We finally found a visitor information centre where we got some information. We basically wasted the whole day running around and asking for information. In the evening we headed to Fengjia Night Market where we had again great food and drinks!

On November 14 we went to Lu Kang or Lukang, a small town an hour away from Taichung. This UNESCO Heritage Site has still lots of traditional Chinese houses and buildings and temples. We walked around the area visiting as many places as we could before everything shuts down at 5:00pm. The most impressive areas were the Lu Kang Folk Arts Museum, Lu Kang old street and Lu Kant Mazu Temple.

On November 15 we went to the National Museum of Natural Science and then went for a walk around the Calligraphy Walkway, a very nice area in the middle of the city with parks and walkways for people to enjoy the late afternoon. It is very impressive that some busy cities can still have the luxury to save green spaces for citizens to enjoy nature a few blocks from their houses.
