Don’t want to deal with crowds during the 228 holiday? A relaxing half-day trip in Taichung

Daohe Liuyi Cultural Museum was originally a training ground where Japanese prison officials and police practiced judo and kendo during the colonial period. In 2004 (the 93rd year of the Republic of China), it was registered as a historical building in Taichung. After years of renovation, the martial arts field has been repurposed to host various events. Couples and families visiting this place can not only enjoy delicious food but also immerse themselves in the cultural atmosphere of history.

Wuqi Fishing Port is located in Qingshui, Taichung. Originally a small fishing village, it later developed into a fishing port that integrates fishing, leisure, and tourism due to the growth of the fishing industry. Whether it’s tasting fresh seafood, buying fish products, or taking a sightseeing fishing boat, this place has it all. Take a walk by the harbor, watch the ships entering and leaving, and let the sea breeze take away the stress of your daily work routine.

The MITSUI OUTLET PARK Taichung Harbor features ten major attraction facilities: a 60-meter-high seaside Ferris wheel, a harbor observation deck, greenway trails, a creative container market, a welcoming boulevard, a multifunctional plaza, a fully flat parking lot, an OUTLET logo photo spot, a food street, and more than 170 domestic and international brand stores. It’s definitely a place where you can shop till you drop and walk till your feet hurt.

Located in Taichung’s Shuinan Smart City, “Central Park” is the country’s first large-scale urban ecological park. It is equipped with twelve sensory play facilities and features five detention basins designed according to the terrain, serving both rainwater storage and flood prevention functions. Combined with the park’s activity zoning and its undulating terrain design, visitors can enjoy the flora and greenery away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s a perfect spot for a picnic during the holidays—super nice and comfortable.
