Located a short distance from the nearest subway station and 13 minutes from the Taiwan High Speed Rail Taichung Station, the new Moxy Taichung places travelers with convenient access to the various areas of Taiwan. The Taichung International Airport is located approximately 24 kilometers away from the hotel, making it easily accessible from other regional and international destinations. Taichung is Taiwan’s second largest city, home to its lively cultural, arts, entertainment, and lifestyle scenes. In addition to its many museums, theaters, parks and temples, Taichung’s Chun Shui Tang teahouse is said to be the original birthplace of bubble tea. The city is also home to many of Taiwan’s high-tech manufacturing facilities, particularly in the semiconductor and transport industries. The Taichung World Trade Center is a popular venue for many international industrial conventions and trade shows every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Taichung is a vibrant and energetic city that celebrates openness and originality, which also happens to be the attitude for all Moxy Hotels worldwide,” said Pascal Hsiao, Captain, Moxy Taichung. “We look forward to welcoming adventure-seeking travelers to experience our lively communal spaces, and spirited beverage and food programming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
