Taichung

Overview

Introduction

Taiwan's third-largest city doesn't have much of interest for most tourists, but its central location is convenient to use as a base to visit Hui Sun Forest (good hiking through mountain forests) and Sun Moon Lake and as a jumping-off point to Lukang. Attractions in Taichung itself include a nice science museum, an immense Confucian temple and a statue of the Mountain Goddess of Mercy. Visitors who find themselves in town on a weekend should check out the Wenxin Jade Market. 90 mi/145 km southwest of Taipei.
