When a county gradually grows into a city, it has certain advantages, the first being space, and this is evidenced in the huge green lungs and broad roads of Xitun District in Taichung city. Coupled with a slower pace of life and weather that is much more pleasant than other Taiwanese cities, Xitun is a surprising gem. If it sounds like there’s nothing much to do, you couldn’t be more mistaken. The quirkiness that you find all over Taiwan is clearly present here, as can be seen at places like the Modern Toilet. The city also has world-class museums and unique nightclubs to keep visitors entertained right into the wee hours. So, whether you’re visiting Xitun on business or pleasure, with friends or with family, read on to see how you can have a great time.
