4. Miyahara is a historic red-brick building originally established in 1927 by Miyahara Takeo, a Japanese ophthalmologist. During the Japanese colonial period, it was one of the largest ophthalmology clinics in Taichung. Fortunately, Dawn Cake, a pastry company famous for its pineapple cakes, acquired the building and preserved its original red-brick walls and distinctive archways. We’ll also visit the Fourth Credit Union (Si-Sin), another historic building that has been creatively transformed into a modern destination while preserving its architectural charm. Once a functioning financial institution, it now offers a variety of delicious ice cream flavors, making it a popular spot for both history and dessert lovers.

5. Rainbow Village was created by former soldier Huang Yung-Fu, who began painting the houses in his settlement to save them from demolition. Over the years, his colorful artwork featuring birds, animals, people, and playful patterns spread across the remaining houses. The settlement once contained around 1,200 homes and has since become a colorful cultural landmark known as Rainbow Village.

6. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Gaomei Wetlands, a scenic coastal area known for its rich wetland ecosystem. Get a closer look at fascinating wildlife such as mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and a variety of bird species. As the day comes to an end, take in the breathtaking sunset over the wetlands and enjoy the peaceful coastal scenery. *If the wooden boardwalk is closed due to high tide or maintenance, you can still enjoy a distant view of the enchanting scenery from the riverside embankment trail.

About Taipei

Taipei is Taiwan's capital, a hill-ringed city of night markets, temples, hot springs, tea houses and the tall Taipei 101 tower.

Taipei sits in a basin ringed by green mountains, and Taipei 101, a 508-metre tower styled on bamboo segments, is its skyline marker. The National Palace Museum holds a vast collection of imperial Chinese art, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall stands at one end of a broad plaza, and Longshan Temple is a busy shrine of incense and carved dragons. Dihua Street preserves old shopfronts selling tea, herbs and dried goods.
