Donghai University's famous Luce Chapel is considered to be one of Taiwan's most beautiful buildings (it certainly is one of the most interesting). The building has been around for quite a while, and was constructed in memory of Henry Winters Luce, who died in 1941. The chapel lies in the middle of an open lawn, with paths leading to its entrance; on most days, the chapel is not open. It is worth wandering around the area. You'll often see couples around the chapel. Leave a Comment Directions: Donghai University; see previous tip

A green strip of trees in the middle of Taichung is a nice place to take a walk. It is possible to walk from the science museum up north down to the Art museum down south following a nice long boulevard. You pass through some large parks and by some of the main shopping areas on the way. Occasionally the city puts up some displays of art or photo-essays on occassion along here.
Start by parking somewhere by the science museum botanical garden park. Wander around the grounds and head south. Wander down across the road past caves book store and keep wandering south past Taichunggong. Obey traffic laws and you will be ok. This area gets heavily policed and laws are enforced at this area so pedestrians can wander through, but keep your eyes open when you cross here. Wander past some major hotels and pass by Kung-Yi Road, near Nova electronics market. (also worth checking for reasonably priced electronic gadgets in taichung.) You will see a large square grassy field across from you. Follow this, keep left and keep following the boulevard under the large skyscraper. Keep going down until you hit the art museum. On your way you will pass Xiang Shang.
This walk probably takes about 45 mins to one hour one way. Its a good thing to do in the evenings. Address: Central Downtown taichungDirections: See above.

Besides the science exhibition, the museum also has the outdoor Botanical Garden and a big green house. It is a nice place for a family to spend half day there.

Chung-shan Park was established in the year of Kuang-hsu 34 in Ching Dynasty. It is also called "Taichung Park". Chung-cheng Pavilion on the lake to the park is the most famous Taichung landmark. There is an open-air music platform and various entertainment equipment in the park. Leave a Comment Address: 37-1, Kung-yuan Road, N. Dist., Taichung City

Donghai University (Tunghai College) (East Sea University) (Donghai Datsue) (東海大ê16;) is one of Taichung's best institutions of higher learning. While the university is best known for the Luce Chapel, wandering around the campus is also fun (a few facts you're probably not interested in: one of my parents taught here). Near the entrance, you can see students playing basketball and baseball; further in, there is a path into a forest designed by the students of the college. The Luce Memorial Chapel is unmissable; if you turn left near the chapel, you'll eventually reach a student activity center with a bookshop and a cafe. Turn right and you'll pass the university's various departments and reach the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Auditorium. Not much to see there. There is also a library nearby. Leave a Comment Directions: On Taichunggang Rd, in the Xitun district

The mild hot spring is effective in curing arthritis and neuralgia. A Lunggu (Dragon Valley) Natural Amusement Park is there, built along the affluent of Dajya stream. At the entrance is a red Lunggu rainbow suspension bridge. Enter the bridge-trail see the sheer rock wall at one side, the other a valley with murmuring water. The landscapes around are Lunggu waterfall, the natural chimney, Gwanyin valley, peacock garden and animal garden. Other items are the garden-touring monorail and some mechanical facilities for amusement. It's a well-equipped park.

It can be seen in many places in Taiwan, espceially in the Chinese New Year. People will change the new couplets for good luck for the coming year. The words on the doors means "Da Jia Gong Xi", meaning good luck for eveyone. Leave a Comment
