Hutou Mountain Park is a highlight of Taoyuan city. The park is quite rugged, but has hiking trails. There is a Confucian academy; the park also has a traditional temple where a number of gods are worshipped. My brother-in-law took us there in his car; transport is not always convenient.

On our 1st day after arriving from Honolulu(after a Tokyo night layover), we took a taxi ride from the Novotel Taoyuan Airport Hotel to this multi-story shopping mall. Arriving an hour earlier than they open, we walked around the neighborhood and visited a Hi-Life convenience store and had a Chinese Baked Bao. Upon opening at 11am, we entered the Metro Walk Mall and spent 4 hours walking from the basement floor, taking the escalators and elevators up the various floors to see hundreds of shops selling LG appliances, Nike and Timberland clothing, Apple products, H&M merchandise, jewelry, shoes, clothing, Lego, toy shops, and a multitude of dining choices and different foods and pastries. On the top of the mall is the Skywalk and includes a cinema with many movies to view.

It's an industrial city and maybe it is a little bit messy this city is pretty calm, nothing too special about it, no touristic attractions, no scenery, no activities, the night market is okay, this city is known for their beef noodles or ¨Niu rou mian¨, anywhere you go in Taiwan they will tell you the best beef noodle soup is from here. It is a great place to live if you are looking for something inexpensive and close enough to Taipei. food is cheaper than in most cities around Taiwan. I like Zhongli, it's a calm place where I don't spend a lot of money :), I live comfortably. It gets colder than many other cities, and I love that. Not a pretentious lifestyle at all.

Dasi is a really great place to visit. You can have a very different experience from the city. In Dasi, there is unique architecture which is from the Japanese occupation period and the Dasi old street is famous. Dasi also is one of the Taiwan top ten towns for sightseeing. The only disadvantage is always full of people in the weekend.This time I participated in an annually festival called "DaxiDaxi" in summer. It was really spectacular and worth it.

Very interesting to walk and try variety of food at Shilin night market. The price was reasonable. I saw Michelin Guide noodle shop but not try as felt very full. Next time I will go there again and try.

It’s good for family to hangout. There’s lots of different type of foods, games, toys, and etc. You can chill out here. Actually I love the stinky tofu and fried chicken in ChungLi night market.

When newcomers to Taiwan think of Taoyuan they probably think of the international airport. If they venture into Taoyuan, they will see a gritty town dominated by factories. But if this is all they see of Taoyuan, they are missing many beautiful locations, some connected to the late President Chiang Kai-shek and his partner, Soong Mei-ling. One particularly scenic spot is Jiaobanshan Park. "Shan" means mountain in Chinese. The park has maple trees, which turn bright red in autumn. About now, the plum trees will blossom. The plum trees were much loved by Chiang,as it is said the plum trees blossom when the weather is coldest. Of particular interest are two banyan trees plantted by Chiang and his wife in 1950, and are intended to be a symbol of love and fidelity. The ancient pine trees add some character to the park..

Daxi Old Streeet has some stunning old architecture from the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945). It's a narrow street, we could just fit out car down it. The food is the snack-style sreet food that once dominated Taiwan's towns ands cities. Try it, it's good, I've eaten a lot of street food and I'm still round to tell the tale. Daxi is best known for its connection to Taiwan's old president, Chiang Kai-shek, who had a holiday house overlooing the river. Chiang is a controversial figure these days, I hope the proposal to do away with his holiday house is abandoned, it's a very quaint old building, it would be sad to see it go..
