Taichung (台中, Hanyu Pinyin: Táizhōng, Wade-Giles: T'ai-chung, Taiwanese POJ: Tâi-tiong) is a city located in west-central Taiwan with a population of just over one million people, making it the third largest city on the island, after Taipei and Kaohsiung. The city's name is Chinese for "Central Taiwan." Taichung City (台中市) is administratively a municipality of Taiwan Province of the Republic of China. It is surrounded completely by Taichung County.
Taichung is home to Chung-hsing University (中興大學), Feng Chia University (逢甲大學), Providence University (靜宜大學), and Tunghai University (東海大學).
Taichung is famous for suncakes (taiyang bing) and its monumental number of KTV lounges. Taichung's Chun Shui Tang teahouse (春水堂) is where bubble tea was invented.
Taichung is interconnected with the rest of the world through the sister-city program. Taichung's sister city is Austin, Texas. This relationship helps to cement the fact that the United States is an ally of Taiwan.
