The old Taichung

Let me show you the old 台中

Taichung's old part has changed significantly. Taiwanese have moved to other parts.

Few days ago I went to Taichung again to meet with my friend and explore the city a bit more. It's really an interesting place and I still haven't seen everything. I know I will go there for a third time. But for now, let me share some of the parts I've seen this time. Today I want to show you the old Taichung.

And many Indonesians, Vietnamese and Filipinos moved here and sell their food.

But here's also the herbal street with very healthy traditional Chinese drinks.

Two cats were coming out, the black one was open for some tenderness :-)

The herbal street is named 青草街 ('green herbs street').

This uncle was very friendly. He chatted with my friend, explained the history of his drink and even gave us a free one and posed for me. His herbal drink is popular with tourists.

The old Taichung. Life's slow here, prices are cheap. But some parts are not very clean.

My friend and I had some tasty traditional Taiwanese noodles here.

The dish is called 肉羹麵, which means 'meat soup noodles'.

And then I left for the modern part of Taichung. More about it next time.
