Q and I spent 2D1N in Taichung, and here's a short post on the places we visited, mainly 宝岛时代村 Taiwan times village , and Fengchia night market. We also visited the quaint rainbow village, which I so dearly love and have already reviewed.
How to go: TW times is located quite far from town and is generally inaccessible via public transport. Driving or hiring a driver for a day trip is strongly advised. You can locate it on a map here. There is also the option of taking the Nantou bus. Some information on the services that go to the village can be found here. Fengchia Night market on the other hand, is located next to Feng Chia University, in Xitun district and can be easily reached via many buses, such as service numbers 25, 29, 35 & 37. Taxi is also an inexpensive option if you travel within Taichung city. Map of the night market location here.
