Taichung has become a hotspot for Instagram check-ins. With the emergence of waterfront promenades and the city's diverse landscape designs—including new installations, architecture, and cafes—it frequently sparks check-in trends on IG. Below are seven popular photo spots in Taichung that visitors might want to include in their upcoming trip to ride the check-in wave.

1. Fazizhi Waterfront Promenade
Fazizhi is an important city gateway in Taichung. The Water Resources Bureau has created another check-in destination along its scenic riverbanks, featuring landscape art, a riverside walking path, and a three-dimensional text landmark. The illuminated area dazzles at night and can even be seen from the high-speed rail.

The 1.8-kilometer Fazizhi Waterfront Promenade has become a popular check-in spot. The most eye-catching "TAICHUNG" three-dimensional text landmark quickly attracts visitors, with its 4-meter-high oversized letters and LED lighting creating a vibrant, multicolored glow at night. 

Address: Nos. 33-59, Section 1, Fazizhidong St., Nantun District, Taichung City

2. Green River Waterfront
The Green River waterfront during the Japanese colonial era was stunning, cutting through the bustling streets of Central District and often compared to Kyoto’s Kamo River, earning it the nickname "Little Kyoto." Its S-shaped waterway, pedestrian walkways, and waterside areas are decorated with light installations, making the night views even more captivating and attracting visitors to take photos.
