逢甲 Fengjia, Taiwan

The first place I went to in Taiwan once I left the airport was Fengjia (逢甲) in Taichung (台中). You can easily buy the bus ticket from Taoyuan International Airport (桃園國際機場) at the price of NT$240 which transfers you directly to Taichung (台中) at quite a number of stops. As for myself, I alighted at Chaoma Bus Station (台中朝馬站 ) after two hours in the bus. And of course there is a faster way which is by using Taiwan High Speed Rail, THSR but you'll need to take a shuttle bus from airport to THSR station.

First thing we did was check in to the hotel or hostel, to be more precise. We stayed at Eiffel Tower Hostel (艾菲爾套房) located at No.35, 1st. Fuxing North, Situn District, Taichung City. It costs me NT$1,100 a night if you are wondering.

Right after that, we walked to Fengjia Night market (逢甲夜市) which is only 10 minutes away. It is located next to Feng Chia University. Fengjia night market was established in 1963 and used to be the largest night market in Taiwan. We had our dinner there trying out a lot of street foods like these photos below. We spent about NT$220 per person and we were extremely full !

In the next morning, we had a simple breakfast before taking a bus to THSR Taichung Station (高鐵台中站). It's a free transfer bus and a 30 minutes ride.


Here's my last few photos taken while waiting for the bus.
