We always hope to record beautiful sceneries and preserve memories through the camera whenever we travel. With the development of social media, many people share photos of them traveling, as well as interesting facts and experience on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Today, I am going to share with you the top ten popular photo spots in Taichung City. Let’s check out which are the ones that you have not visited before.

1.National Taichung Theater
The iconic building located at the prime district in Taichung is definitely a must-visit when traveling to Taichung. National Taichung Theater was designed by Toyo Ito, a Japanese designer who once won the Pritzer Architecture Prize. In addition to the attractive appearance, the art and cultural activities, dining space and creative cultural products in the theatre are also worth seeing. Due to the ever-changing nature of the exhibition, one will have a different experience every time one visits the National Taichung Theater. As a result, it is advisable to visit the official website of National Taichung Theatre to check out the exhibition taking place before visiting the theatre.

6.Yueyawan Park (Jiaming Lake in Taichung)
There is a manmade attraction in the Yueyawan Park in Nantun District, Taichung. It is a moon-shaped lake also known as Jiaming Lake in Taichung.

If the construction or any other plan were to take place in the future, this Lake might disappear. For visitors who enjoy this kind of scenery, please visit before it disappears!
