Taiwan Flag

Taichung is along the middle of Taiwan's west side. It is possible to day-trip here from Taipei by high-speed train, but since the station is located in the outskirts, getting into the city from there will offset your time savings compared to the slower TRA trains.

You will get the quintessential Taiwanese urban experience here, such as grit and outdoor night markets. Add to that regenerated riverfronts, animated murals, and interesting small shops. Taichung is also a good base to explore the interior mountains such as Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, or going all the way across to Hualien along the scenic central highway.

Central Taiwan seems less touristy and a bit under-represented but very worth your time, and it's easily accessible from Taipei so if you plan to tour the island from north to south, budget a few days here as well.
