The transformation of Taichung Station: challenges and hopes of the city’s facade

🚉 Taichung Railway Station was once the center of the city, but now it faces unbearable challenges. The newly built Taichung Railway Station a few years ago attracted many people to take photos and check in. The old railway station has a history of a hundred years, and part of the space has been converted into art, history exhibition and dining areas. The new Green River leisure area in front of the railway station has added many new highlights to the old city. 🎨 ☕️ This time when I went back to Taichung for the New Year, I went to the market near the station and had a cup of coffee, but I was surprised to find that the city's facades had become so shabby in just 4-5 years. Taichung Railway Station was once the bustling center of the city, but now only old buildings are left around it. Although some have been renovated, very few have been newly built. 🏙️ 🌏 Since there are many foreign migrant workers in Taiwan, most of the pedestrians and street shops in the old city are Southeast Asians. Different living habits increase the difficulty of maintaining environmental hygiene. There are many homeless people living in and begging in the train station square and its surrounding areas, which leads to a poor appearance of the city and also causes hygiene problems. 🚶‍♂️ 🏗️ The new look of the old town is a good thing, but the lack of planning and management has made the original appearance become unapproachable. It is a pity that such city appearance and tourism quality are difficult to attract tourists. Putting aside the ugly side, the area around the old railway station is still developing, and the specialty shops and traditional flavors still exist. Hope to see improvements next time. 🌟 #TaiwanTravel #CityExplorer #TaichungYi Railway Cultural Park
