10 Nature & Parks in Taichung That You Shouldn't Miss
Among its many tourist attractions, Taichung offers a downtown shopping experience similar to that of Tokyo or Manhattan, a bustling nightlife, and a cuisine to please even the pickiest palate. Travelers come to this city to feast their eyes on the temples, markets, parks, and museums. Touring families often visit the Taichung National Museum of Natural Science to marvel over the exhibits or the Feng Chia night market to purchase local goods. But perhaps what Taichung is known for the most is Bubble tea, the most famous beverage in the region.

This is THE place to go to view beautiful sunset against a backdrop of windmills. The place is windy (obviously!) and packed with people all waiting to catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunset. There is a boardwalk over the wetlands (where tiny crabs can be seen scrambling..) and although there are loads of people, you can still see the sun slowly disappearing over the horizon ! Go early to grab a seat on the boardwalk, dangle your legs over the boardwalk, enjoy the wind and just wait ... it's worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.
3. Dasyushan National Forest Recreation Area

4.5 based on 57 reviews
Dasyueshan National Forest Recreation Area nurtures a wide variety of wildlife and plants. It is internationally famous for bird watching in the middle altitude region. The red maples in autumn and winter, the starry sky on summer nights, the sea of clouds in the evening, the muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) and Mikado Pheasant (Syrmaticus mikado) wandering through the forests and along the trails, and thousand-year-old giant Taiwan red cypress are the most appealing scenes in the Dasyueshan National Forest Recreation Area.

My wife and I spent several days in the Dasyushan Forest during our recent birdwatching tour of Taiwan ????????. This was the only area where we managed to see the endemic Mikado Pheasant along with many other Taiwan endemic species. There are plenty of recreation areas to park and and there is a visitor centre at the end of the main road into the park, there are plenty of clean toilet facilities within the park. A must for any visiting birder.

I brought my young family of five, two of whom were novices at cycling. The track was exceptionally friendly, yet sufficiently challenging to make it worth the while. Being able to cycle on a river spanning bridge, and a nearly 2km tunnel made the trip worth it. We went fully pedal power. The tunnel is fully lit and has pictures of what it was used for in the past along the route. As the entire is track is reserved for bicycles, it is extremely safe. Do well to avoid weekends and school holidays though. The end of the track is currently hosting an international flower festival. It is very worth a visit. Check with the bicycle rental companies on where to leave the rental bike safely (there is a light refreshment shop near the flower festival). I spent a tiny amount at the shop on snacks and refreshments after the nearly 5km route. There is another 12km track that starts at the same point. The bike rental companies are competitive and the prices reasonable for 12 speed mountain bikes.
