This park is dedicated to presenting a more traditional Taiwanese way of life. It includes a combination of authentic and recreated buildings and streets in an attempt to recreate a more rustic Taiwan. It is small, but well worth the visit at NT$50 and the lack of these kinds of buildings anywhere else in Taichung. To get here, you can take buses 31, 33 or 105, but these will take you a long time to get there. An easier option would be to get a taxi or other city bus to the intersection of Rehe Road and WenXin Road, then walk the three blocks north. Taxi drivers in Taichung don't know about the place (or the street it's on), even if either is written out in Chinese. You probably want to Google Street View it first. It's referred to there as "MinSu Park".
The Taichung Folklore Park is a cultural center in Beitun District, Taichung, Taiwan.
