the Taichung Literature Museum: it used to be police quarters, which were built in 1932 during the Japanese colonial period. It consists of six buildings, which are used for permanent exhibitions, themed exhibitions, children's literature, workshops and lectures, themed dining area, and administration.

Visit the Six Arts Cultural Center, built in 1937 during the Japanese rule, it is a martial arts hall for daily training of martial arts officers and police. The original historical appearance is completely preserved, which is of great value for preservation, reuse and architectural research.

Miyahara, a red-brick architecture built by Miyahara Takeo, a Japanese ophthalmology doctor in 1927. It was the largest ophthalmology clinic in Taichung during the Japanese colonial period. Today, it is an elegant place with several pastry businesses. Wonderfully restorated, the building is a place full of history and wonder.

A “one man show” painted by a very talented, and rather visionary, old veteran soldier, MR. Huang.

Taste some of the amazing typical local street food to end your tour!

Lukang was an important sea port in the 18th and 19th century. It was the most populous city in central Taiwan until the early 20th century. The history of the town of Lukang has been characterized by rapid change. Lukang old town was once a bustling port during the Qing Dynasty in the 1600s and continued to be a thriving business center until 1895 when the Japanese came and shut down most of the trade with mainland China. The end of Lukang came when the harbor, which has never been that deep and suitable for the larger vessels, silted completely. Today the city boasts over 200 temples dedicated to a wide variety of deities, such as Longshan Temple - which dates to 1786 - and Matzu Temple. Lukang Old Street is filled by traditional Taiwanese style houses with carved doorways and windows, narrow streets such as the notably famed Nine-Turns Lane, thin red brick walls.

Visit the theater and have a look at the futuristic roof. The theater was designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Using the concept of the primitive caves and holes, Toyo Ito designed the worlds' first and only Sound Cave Curved Wall for National Taichung Theater. There are no vertical and horizontal structures and it’s the world’s first curved surfaced hanging structure architecture.
