The Greater Taichung area boasts one of Taiwan's best selections for leisure and recreational options, thanks to its ideal location in central Taiwan near both the mountains and sea. Taichung City itself has the highest number of parks per capita of any city in Taiwan, ranging from the island's largest metropolitan park to a lush "green

belt" that runs through the downtown area. Also within city limits is the Daken Scenic Area, boasting huge expanses of rolling hills and forests that draw visitors with a number of attractions, including a network of hiking trails which lead to hot springs.

Taichung is also well-equipped with facilities for various athletic pursuits. This includes a number of excellent private golf clubs, public basketball courts, soccer fields, and stadiums for professional baseball games, track and field, and other sports.
