Taiwan Plan Day 2

Taiwan Plan Day 2

This will be our second day in Taichung. We will not be going far but will travel around Taichung.

We will make a trip to Rollin Farm and will pass by Dakeng area, then Dongshi district. We should have our morning breakfast before heading out.

We may stop by Dakeng area for some photos or a fresh morning air hike. There is a trail twisted by an earthquake. There are a number of trails in that area.



Next we will proceed up the mountain, hopefully to see some snow cap mountain to Rollin Farm. We may have some light snacks  there and enjoy the view with the clouds floating by.


Proceeding back we have 2 alternatives. One is to head back to Dongshi and 新社區, the other is to go for some grape plucking at Xinfeng Farm and horse riding at Houli. At 新社區, we can visit 新社莊園, mushroom farm, Princess Annie house and lavender farm. 新社莊園 is where you can take pics of castle.

Coming back from the mountain is to head back to Taichung, we will pass by Dakeng again. By then Carton King should have opened. We can take a look at the art pieces made of paper.

There are a few destination in Taichung to visit: 921 Earthquake museum, Taichung HSR station, Rainbow village (彩虹眷村) and lastly Port of Taichung (梧棲漁港). Below is a pic of the rainbow Village.


Earthquake museum is closed on Monday but otherwise it is a place to see the destruction forces had on the building and the ground.

Many has taken the HSR from Taoyuan to Taichung, so it is good to see the station, but not sure if we can see the train zoom pass. Of course we can always take a HSR to Chiayi or Tainan for a day trip. An adult ticket is 410NT  and a child/senior is 205NT

Port of Taichung is a place where we can fresh sashimi and maybe view some strange seafood on sale. The harbour is also a nice place to see boats and maybe feed some seabirds. We can also drive nearby to Taichung airport to view planes taking off.

The dinner place will also be a shopping place at 一中商圈. But mine problem is a place to park. Maybe we can park at National Taichung University of Science ( 國立臺中 科技大學 ) and walk to Yizhong shopping area and night market.

Other places to visit will be 勤美術館, National Museum of Natural Science,宫原眼科, 林家宅園, Asia University
