Before going to Taiwan my sister told me to meet her friend. It turned out that she lives in Taichung, so of course I had to keep the promise. And that is how I found myself on the back of the scooter cruising around the southern Wufeng district, somewhere I would have never ended up on my own!

First we took a look at the Guang Fu New Village. Its an old military village being rebuilt as a creative art space. Besides young artists, you can find some charming little restaurants in the area. We enjoyed a delicious & healthy meal and fresh bread at a local family restaurant by the street. The meal was completed with an accidental visit by my friend’s beer-brewing aeroplane-engineering cousin! The best neighborhood is the one with surprising encounters.

As the sun was about to set, we continued for the highest point in Wufeng. After some uphill scootering and hiking, the nearby hills gave us a spectacular sunset and a wide view over the whole city.

And then, it got very dark, but peaceful. What a better way to end the day at Wufeng than a warm evening under the autumn moonlight.
