The districts of Dongshi and Shigang form a Hakka enclave at the border between Taichung City’s Hokkien-speaking coastal conurbation in the west and its mountainous area in the east. Here you’ll find heritage houses, curious temples, and a way of life that has remained little changed by the passage of time.

Taichung’s Calligraphy Greenway

Travel in Taiwan — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 03:46:48 +0000

Central Taichung is one of the most pleasant urban centers in Taiwan to perambulate on foot. Planners have taken full advantage of the ample space available to create comfortable room along streets for pedestrians and have designed green spaces aplenty, including long green corridors. As a quality bonus, even right in the core there’s an unusual amount of low-rises, and buildings tend to be a bit further back from the street than elsewhere in the city.
