A special municipality and perhaps the best known city in Taiwan, Taichung is a popular tourist resort in this part of the world, and given the wide range of sights to see and events to take part in, it's easy to see why. The city has gone through vast changes over the past few centuries, but it has done a fine job of holding on to its traditional temples and age-old structures from yesteryear.
Zhenlan Temple and Lecheng Temple (both over 200 years old) still stand today, as do Chenghuang Temple, Paochueh Temple and Pu-Lu Monastery - and all of these brilliant buildings offer some captivating insight into the incredible history and culture of Taiwan.
