Day 3 Biking 1000km around Taiwan and today we're taking a break from the bikes to explore Taichung City. Nick-named the middle city, Taichung sits halfway between Taipei and Tainan is the perfect city to stop for one day if you're short on time.
We loved exploring the interesting streets of Taichung like Animation Alley and especially visiting the bustling Fenchia night market. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to Rainbow City but highly recommend you check it out on your day trip.
If you didn't know, Taiwan actually has a dedicated cycling route that circumferences the entire island, it's called Cycling Route 1, and this is what we will be following (with a couple of detours) over the next three weeks.
Cycling Route 1 can be done in just 9 days for those who are really looking for a challenge, but we want to explore all the stops along the way so we're adding extra days to ensure we not only get challenged but we also get to travel Taiwan in the most unique way possible!
Max and Jacqueline's Taiwanese adventure continues! Day 3 finds them in Taichung, a central city perfectly positioned for a one-day break.

This episode offers a delightful glimpse into Taichung's charm and the couple's unique travel style.

This Vlog follows Max and Jacqueline's 24-hour exploration of Taichung, Taiwan, a well-deserved rest from their ambitious 1000km cycling journey around the island. They begin their adventure by taking a local bus, noting the unique pillow-style bus stop display. The couple then visits a cultural heritage park, creatively repurposed from an old factory, offering a glimpse into Taiwan's industrial past. This visit is particularly poignant as it previews their upcoming Alishan trip, where they'll explore a historic logging train.
Their culinary journey begins at Miyahara, a stunning ice cream parlor housed in a 1927 building, where they indulge in unique tea-flavored ice cream. The architectural beauty of the building is as captivating as the ice cream itself. Next, they explore the whimsical Painted Animation Lane, a vibrant display of cartoon-inspired street art that evokes nostalgic childhood memories.
The highlight of their day is a visit to the bustling Fenchia Night Market. Max and Jacqueline embrace the spontaneous nature of the market, trying various street food delights without a pre-planned list. Their choices include roast duck steamed buns, cheese pancakes, scallion pancakes, and bubble tea, all of which they thoroughly enjoy. The experience is not only delicious but also affordable, with their entire food haul costing less than 20 Australian dollars. The Vlog concludes with Max and Jacqueline reflecting on their memorable day in Taichung, preparing for the next leg of their cycling adventure.
