Address

Yizhong St and surrounding lanes, North District

A student strip wedged between Taichung First Senior High and the nearby university campuses. After school lets out, uniformed queues form outside the bubble tea shops and the narrow lanes fill with fried chicken, candied fruit and skewer stalls. Smaller than Fengjia and closer to the centre, it suits a quick post-dinner wander, and the many clothes, shoe and accessory shops give it a college-town feel.
