Following up right here as our jaunt by the island nation of Taiwan unfolds. We’re about midway by right here—after starting the journey in Taipei within the north of the nation, we rode a bullet practice right down to Taichung to discover the cool spots we heard of. Taichung was rather a lot much less crowded and slower-paced than Taipei. It was a very picturesque metropolis with some unbelievable public artwork and pure skate spots (the brick transition to curb is a bucket lister for certain!). So scroll on down and test the flicks.
