It consists of six buildings, which are used for permanent exhibitions, themed exhibitions, children's literature, workshops and lectures, themed dining area, and administration.
The Taichung second market, built in 1917, is divided in 6 sections; each section was dedicated to a category. It’s hexagonal design make it very special ( and easy to get lost! )
Time for lunch in this area, don’t miss the specialities that the market has to offer, noodles, dumplings and buns!

The walk will continue to Miyahara, a red-brick architecture built by Miyahara Takeo, a Japanese ophthalmology doctor in 1927. It was the largest ophthalmology clinic in Taichung during the Japanese colonial period. Today, it is an elegant place with several pastry businesses. Wonderfully restorated, the building is a place full of history and wonder.
Crossing the old Taichung train station, the tour will end at the Stock 20; built in 1930, it is the former railway warehouse; now it is an exhibition space & studios for rotating resident artists. Now Stock 20 is an active artists' village.
