Taichung attractions

Start your exploration of the city with a look at the Confucius Temple , the most handsome of Taichung's many places of worship; its spacious grounds are a great place to escape the buzz of the city for awhile. Close by, Baojue Temple is very popular with photographers for the enormous sitting Maitreya Bodhisattva statue that stands on the grounds. Allow the best part of the day to explore a couple of Taichung's very fine museums, especially the National Museum of Natural History, which is one of the best on the island, featuring fascinating dioramas and exhibits covering all aspects of evolution and the natural world, and a tropical rainforest enclosed in a greenhouse.
National Museum of Nature Science- across 22 exquisite acres, the Museum is a six-venue complex housing the Space IMAX Theater, Science Center, Life Science Hall, Human Cultures Hall (the original Chinese Science Hall), Global Environment Hall and the Botanical Garden, excluding the Earthquake Museum in Wufong. Over 30 permanent exhibit areas cover subjects on astronomy, space science, paleontology, ecology, gems and minerals, Taiwanese Aborigines, and tropical plants. Rotating special exhibits are a constant occurrence. It is also a place filled with hands-on exhibits that will delight children and adults of all ages. The Museum is also a major science learning center with over a half million school children visiting annually.
