How to arrange the smoothest one-day trip itinerary in the central region?

• You can first refer to this article “Recommended One-day Attractions in Central China” to see if there are any attractions you are interested in. After deciding on the target county and city, refer to the corresponding paragraphs in the latter paragraph to arrange more stop-by-the-road or surrounding attractions and food:
  • “[Taichung One-day Tour] Attractions & Food Recommendations“
  • “[Changhua One-day Tour] Attractions & Food Recommendations“
  • “[Nantou One-day Tour] Attractions & Food Recommendations“
• There are many attractions in the central region and they are scattered, so it is recommended to focus on one county or city, unless the place you just want to go is on the border of the county and city.
• From other counties and cities, it is recommended to decide on the farthest attractions first, and then intersperse relay attractions along the way for rest or meals, so as not to take the bus for too long.
• Popular attractions in Zhongzhangtou are accessible by public transportation, but the frequency is limited and the transportation time will take a long time.
• In the mountainous areas of Taichung, outside Changhua City/Lukang/Yuanlin, and Nantou, it is more recommended to drive or charter a car, so that the attractions will not be too limited.

Recommended new attractions in the central region

Have you played until you don’t know where to go? 3 new attractions in the central region are recommended for you:

Taichung Marine Ecology Museum

You can also see penguins up close in the central region! The newly opened Taichung Aquarium is located in a great location, close to popular coastal attractions in Taichung such as Wuqi Fishing Port, Gaomei Wetland, and Mitsui Outlet, allowing you to enjoy the best of Taichung’s sea line in one trip. The exhibition hall is based on “From Dajia Creek to the Sea of the World”, with both Taichung’s local characteristics and international vision pavilions, among which the most popular penguin area is the open display design, you can walk into the tunnel to watch the penguins from multiple angles up close, super healing, super photogenic, children will be very happy!

Although it is not large, it is more like Taoyuan X Park, focusing on small and exquisite immersive experiences and photo-friendly scenes, rather than large-scale marine life displays like the Pingtung Marine Life Museum. It takes about 2-3 hours to walk around and take pictures, with just the right amount of physical strength and concentration for children, there are also restaurants and landscape cafes on the fourth and fifth floors where you can rest and eat, which is quite suitable for couples or the whole family to play together.

This place is actually themed around egg tarts, there are quite a few freshly baked egg tart flavors to choose from, such as matcha red beans, bamboo charcoal, etc., which are very special, and it is recommended to pair it with the dine-in 150 yuan set: one egg tart flavor of your choice + unlimited coffee and black tea. There are also pearls that you can add yourself, the pearls are delicious, the CP value is very high, it is more cost-effective than the cafes outside, you can play with the nearby Tianwei Highway Garden, Beidou area and other attractions, as one of the most suitable afternoon tea stops.
