Overview

On this guided adventure, you will start exploring the city from the old Taichung Train Station, traced back 100 years. Continue with a visit to the old and very stylish Miyahara Sweet Shop. Then, along the river Midorikawa, you will have a glimpse of ASEAN Square, which previously was named First Market but has changed dramatically over 80 years.
Following, you will find out that the hard-working people on the herbal street and Jiguang street still live in the old-time memories. They smile and shout for the old skills and methods in order to protect those losing stories.
Next, the tour will take you to two totally different ice cream shops, one with Taiwan local shaved ice (Mitsumame) and the other one with over 70 flavours of ice cream (Fourth Credit cooperative bank). Finally, stop at the DRF Goodot Village, a co-working space with many organizations committed to promoting the central district of Taichung.

Let’s have fun together in Downtown Taichung!
