Taichung, the second most populous city in Taiwan, located on the island's central-western coastline, boasts a rich blend of tradition and modernity. Known for being a hub of culture, Taichung is marked by a vibrant mix of contemporary architectural marvels like the National Taichung Theater and the significant historic landmarks including the iconic Taichung Park. It is renowned for its bustling night markets such as Fengjia, touted as Taiwan's largest night market, where tourists can indulge in a variety of local street foods. The city is equally famed for its unique Bubble Tea, making it a paradise for tea lovers. From the colorful Rainbow Village and its street art to the lush landscapes of Sun Moon Lake, Taichung invites its visitors to experience a slice of Taiwanese culture in all its glory.

Couch surfing in Taichung offers an enriching, authentic experience that is ideal for adventurous female travelers. It provides an excellent opportunity to mingle with locals and meet fellow globetrotters. By staying with a local, you can explore Taichung through the eyes of a resident, directly learning about Taiwanese culture from your host. This not only deepens your cultural understanding, but it also allows you to experience parts of the city that are off the beaten tourist track, making your Taichung journey uniquely memorable.

The city doesn’t have much to do, but the university campus was nice. People were kind and helpful even if you don’t know the local language. The night market here is one of the best in this city. The weather is definitely better than in Taipei.
