For many people, Taipei is the start and end of their Taiwan trip. However, the country has more to offer outside of its capital. One city worth visiting is Taichung, located in the west-central part of Taiwan. It was dubbed as “Kyoto of Formosa” during the Japanese occupation because of its laid-back vibe. It is ranked as the most livable city in Taiwan, all thanks to its mild weather. It is also known as the arts and culture capital of the country due to the number of museums, galleries, and art installations that dot the city. Sugar lovers will get a kick out of knowing that the city is the birthplace of bubble tea. There are plenty of night markets in the city where you can try out local street food.
