Melody told me its best to overnight at taichung to visit the popular tourist sites. As we just plan to go one day trip sightseeing and try food at Taichung so we decided to go one day trip. We took MRT to Taipei Main station and transfer to HSR (High speed railway). It took just about an hour to Taichung and we can get free bus ride to Taichung city.

Taichung city has many nice condos and tall buildings and looked more modern. Taipei has many condos/apartments but they are mostly dull colors like grey or brownish. We went to one of its newest shopping mall that has nice design and also visit one pet shop. Saw the cutest brown poodle.

After walking in the shopping mall for over an hour we stopby 7-11 to get drinks and some light food as we skip lunch earlier. Then we try to find bus stop to wait for bus to famous Taichung night market but waited for 10 mins no sign of bus we ended up take cab to the place. The night market according to people we asked has more than one street. Due to time constraint we went to just one.

We had many nice food there and after that we took cab back to HSR station only to find out that there is earthquake at Tainan and our 7.15 pm train will be delayed but we are just right for the train just arrived which was delayed 22 mins due to earthquake.
