Taichung - One Day

[calkel20]

From the tc train stn to fjnm by bus will take about an hour. I've done that. Traffic is really bad there.

放工時段，盡量避免。
Go earlier?

I am staying 53Hotel, so I can take to bus at Taichung main station, 6 bus-stops -> Fengjia University = Fengjia night market?

which is the approx. bus travelling time? Thanks

Free shuttle bus must show HSR ticket (and must be same day tix) if not have to pay NT20 or 25. If you dont have/not taking HSR will advice you to take other bus. Quite a few bus from Taichung main station to FJ. Plus tap on with easycard or yi ka tong, first 8km is free.

Maybe i was lucky that day.
Hsr shuttle from fengjia to fjnm usually they do not request, as some uses qr code for travel.
I know all pick up points to taichung hsr can board but cannot alight before taichung hsr(bus only free for hsr commuters), so those want to alight before that, will have to pay for the bus ride

Hi All,

I would like to spend one day in Taichung (Nov).
Below is my plan. Is it too rush?

- HSR from Taipei to Taichung in the morning
- Arrived in Taichung and check in to hotel near Feng Jia Night Market
- Head to Carton King Creativity Park followed by Lavender Cottage
- End the night at Feng Jia Night Market

Was wondering is it possible to squeeze in Yi Zhong?

Please advise.
Thanks in advanced.

Jus curious beside these places (exclude the nite mkt) is Taichung really worth a visit? Been pondering should I drop by for a day or so?

you are assuming tc is same as taipei. tc is very different. it always feel busy to me. and you see more foreign workers there. I'd say stay 1 night is enough.

I'm a TC lover. Every year I go Taiwan, 90% of the time I'm at tc. I love food hunting there cause the spots that were recommended are cheap and nice. If you are lucky there may exhibitions in TC area which you can visit. I've been to cingjing, lavendar, 心之芳亭，新社花海 etc.. oh and even prawning. Cingjing is good if u have a couple of nights, enjoy the weather the cold winds. And eating their upright chicken which u wear gloves to peel and eat

If that's the case, then okay la. Means go back Taipei around 5-6pm the next day. You should be good to explore more.

Ya plan to do these if I have more days I'm Taichung. Been going Taiwan but have no chance to visit TC.always rush rush trips, Sian!

Basically is for FJ, abit not worth the hassle. Probably keep for next trip with more days bah. No doubt tempted for the FJ food but I read that the NM is huge but damn crowded. Rush all the way there to kuek sio like abit not worth. If have more days then split the FJ in 2 nites might be better.
