Spot (⊙o⊙)

" Supermarket (슈퍼마켓 )" is a series of city travel books that interprets travel through the most common "supermarket" in life, and tells a new concept of people and culture. Each book selects a city and starts the journey from the local supermarket.

The theme of the first issue of "Supermarket" is "Taichung" in Taiwan. This city has been an important economic and cultural center of Taiwan for a hundred years. It has modern cultural relics and colorful and charming textures. Taichung is not only the birthplace of Taiwan's representative desserts, sun cakes and pearl milk tea, but also a new dessert shop is born every day. Here, the modern urban culture established during the Japanese colonial period is completely preserved, and you can also see extremely modern new buildings. This is a city that blends the old and the new and is full of unique features.

"The pride of Taichung people is not only reflected in the unique culture of food and night markets, but also in the spacious and comfortable streetscapes of this city, as well as the diverse historical atmosphere of Taiwan that can be seen in every corner of the city. This pride stems from an adventurous spirit that pursues ideals more boldly than in Taipei or Kaohsiung, and it is alive and well on this land." - Page 55

"The weather in Taichung is really good. It often rains in Taipei and it's very hot in Kaohsiung, but the climate in Taichung is just the right mild temperature. Maybe because of this, the pace of life in Taichung is very slow and peaceful. Of course, I am still very busy at work, but after work I can always take a good walk or enjoy some leisure time, and my mood is very rich. I am really satisfied with my life here." - Page 161
