Opis

This Taiwan City Guide about Taichung, Changhua and Nantou highlights the attractions in the cities of Taichung, Changhua, and Nantou, and their surrounding areas. The second edition, written in English, has been updated and significantly expanded. In this revised edition, the cities of Taichung, Changhua and Nantou are described in much greater detail. Taichung, Changhua and Nantou are seldom described in detail in travel guides. However, in recent years, organizations have focused on restoring and preserving historical sites, making each of these places worth a multi-day visit. Modern museums and structures from the Japanese colonial era in the Taichung/Changhua metropolitan area will captivate culture enthusiasts. The expansive city of Taichung, with its green boulevards and a blend of modern and old streets, exudes a particular charm. In Lukang, you can explore a former port town with narrow alleys and old buildings from the Qing dynasty. Jiji and Checheng, located along a historic railway line, offer insights into the lives of people who worked in the timber industry. In Wufeng, you can experience a historical residential complex from the Qing dynasty, while the Earthquake Museum documents the struggle against the forces of an earthquake. Nantou County is also the site of a national Taiwanese tragedy, the 1999 earthquake, which still marks the landscape. Those interested in earthquakes and/or those with a taste for the macabre will find plenty to explore. For nature lovers, the surroundings of Nantou provide an opportunity for a multi-day stay around Sun Moon Lake, whose many beauties are often only briefly mentioned, as well as the Hehuan Mountains and Jade Mountain. Experience traditional and leisurely Taiwan in the warm south.
