As we are strolling in Taichung, one thing is obvious. There are many cultural places here, be it art or natural history. I guess this is really great for those that like to learn about the place and its culture. Right behind Kuo's Cheesecake has now been converted into an open air art gallery show casing alot of abstract and modern art by local artists.
There are also some souvenir shops but no photos allowed. So just take my word for it. I tried searching on Google map what this place is called but seems its not updated in Google yet. But the place is really a very relaxing place and I guess it was still work in progress in March 2015 but Im sure its completed now. So checkout the photos. Basically we walked all the way to the National Museum of Natural Science and that was where we took a bus to head to the night market.
The display of hanging pails
They have all these colorful tires for people to sit I believe
This is the souvenir shop I mentioned which did not allow photography. Lots of nice stuff but not very cheap ya.
More wall art on the building walls
This is a art installation that is not completed yet thus I can't go near it. Very interesting with the shiny and reflective huts on the beautiful lawn
This was an art piece along the road
An interesting sight we saw were these fashion design students who were parading their clothing designs and telling people that their graduation ceremony would be soon and I guess inviting people to attend. Surprise that they manage to get so many people to dorn their clothing
All come complete with makeup and hair set le
The many skyscrapers though not as high as those in Taipei
The path leading to the museum
Dinosaurs as chairs and tables. Kids were having fun
Finally reach the museum. It was a big museum but we did not enter as it was almost closing time already
On the floor infront of the museum is an interactive display where a camera captures us and places us with the dinosaur. Can you spot us standing in the middle?
One thing I like about here is their well curated garden
This tree is perfectly bald but has such a nice shape to it
This is a tree from Madagascar - The Baobab
They have a few growing there. Its really a unique tree with its huge column but scarce leaf
Another bald tree. I guess spring hasn't made it leaf yet
As the sun is setting
Colorful flowers everywhere in the garden areas of the museum
There is also a rainforest area though you also need to pay admission charges
And the most unique thing we saw, this live anime! Yes, it was a person dress in a full suit anime costume. I have seen many people do up cosplay but this is the first time I have seen a full from head to toe suit. Frankly have no idea if its a girl or guy underneath it. "She" was posing for a group of photographers whom I presume organized this. To me it looks scary lo
