Taichung, Taiwan - Yizhong Street Night Market HD (2017)
Yizhong Street (Chinese: 一中商圈; pinyin: Yī Zhōng Shāng Quān) is a street located in North District, Taichung, Taiwan. It is located between Sanmin Rd. (三民路), Yizhong St.(一中街), Taiping Rd.(太平路), Yucai St.(育才街), Yucai South St.(育才南街) and Yucai North St.(育才北街). In 2006, according to the survey conducted by National Chung Hsing University, it is elected as the most popular shopping area in Taichung.
Taichung (Hokkien POJ: Tâi-tiong), officially known as Taichung City, is a special municipality located in center-western Taiwan. Taichung has a population of approximately 2.78 million people and has been officially ranked as Taiwan's second most populous city since July 2017. The current city was formed when Taichung County merged with the original provincial Taichung City to form the special municipality on 25 December 2010.
Located in the Taichung Basin in central Taiwan, the city became a major economic and cultural hub during Japanese rule. It serves as the core of the Taichung–Changhua metropolitan area, with Xitun District serving as its industrial and manufacturing base. The city is home to the National Museum of Natural Science and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, as well as many cultural sites, including the historic Taichung Park, the Lin Family Gardens, and many temples.
Last week we went to the southern tip of Taiwan for a four day trip to Kending (Kenting). Here is the second video, showing you places on the southern side of the Hengchun Peninsula.

South Coast
Between the Maobitou peninsula on the west and Eluanbi peninsula on the east, this is Kenting’s most popular tourist area, with a high concentration of beaches and resorts as well as restaurants, bars, cafes, and boutiques.
Nanwan, or South Bay, is in the crook where Maobitou and the main body of the Hengchun Peninula meet. This is the best and most popular locale for inshore frolicking—swimming, windsurfing, jet-skiing, kayaking, banana-boating, skin-diving, snorkeling, what have you. There are change rooms, showers, and shops renting all necessary gear/toys. Adding to Nanwan’s allure is the fact it is second only to nearby Kending town, which we visit next, for restaurants and watering holes.
Kending is fun-central in the park. This is where all the action happens at night. Highway 26 does double-duty as the town’s main street, and as the sun retires over the western horizon each day local residents don vendors’ hats and line both sides with food stalls. Backing them are scores of bricks-and-mortar enticements, with everything from cafes, bars, and restaurants to indie-designer jewelry and crafts shops. On the town’s eastern edge are some especially entertaining sights – small lorries which, once the shutters on the back cabins are lowered, magically become bars and pizzerias. Owners set up seating alongside. The former are stocked to “the rafters” with famous spirits brands, and the latter have flatbed-mounted brick pizza ovens.
Off Kending’s eastern end, in a pretty sheltered cove, is the Xiaowan (“Small Bay”) beach, directly across Highway 26 from two of the park’s resort-hotel queens, one of these the Howard Beach Resort (see Box). During the day a wide range of watersports equipment is available for rent at the beach. At night, after the water-focused fun ceases, the wide-deck wood-theme café/eatery here transforms into a mellow open-air bar, ’70s rock complementing the soothing music of arriving waves.
East of Kending is Banana Bay, site of a miniscule fishing harbor. On either side of its cement breakwater walls is easily accessible upraised-coral shoreline, beyond which is an underwater world popular with divers.
Nearby iconic park attractions are Shadao and Sail Rock. The first is a magnificent 300m stretch of protected beach that actually shines. In the on-site exhibition hall, it’s said this is Taiwan’s purest shell-sand; the coast makes a dramatic 90-degree turn here, meaning materials are washed in and churned but not easily washed out. Sail Rock is a towering 18m-high slab of exposed coral offshore said either to resemble a Chinese imperial war junk or US President Richard Nixon’s profile. But what I see is a Kenting angelfish.
Taiwan National Parks - The Window of World Biodiversity (Culture)
This vignette depicts the cultural diversity of Taiwan. I met some cool aboriginals, smoked a greenish weed with some octogenarians and danced with a 102 year old lady with a tattooed face! I made some great friends while doing what I enjoy most.
Taiwan covers an area of 36,000 square kilometres, which is 0,025 of the total land area on Earth. Taiwan has undergone dramatic mountain building periods and glacial ages, and is this miraculously endowed with diverse ecosystems that range from the tropical to alpine.
The tropical seas of Kenting National Park, the high mountain environment of Yu-Shan National Park, the volcanic activities of the Yangmingshan National Park and the gorges of Taroko National Park, are parts of a diverse backdrop that is unique to Taiwan. Life expresses itself in myriad forms amongst these settings.
