Taiwan's Cities: More Mainland China 3rd-Tier or Mini-Japan? WTF is the Real Deal?
-
Go take a look at New York or Chicago—skyscrapers are a sign of development!!
-
Why does mainland China categorize its cities into different tiers?
-
Because it's a large country with varying economies, so it's easier for administration.
-
Why are you taking pictures near the train station?! Why not shoot the Qiqi district?
-
Yes, there are. Photos 6 and 7 are from near the Qiqi district.
-
Oh my gosh, how did you take these photos? They're amazing! I honestly couldn't tell it was Taipei.
-
Excuse me, are there any Taiwanese people selling wild boars? The one I usually ride got hungry, and I accidentally ate it. Now getting to work is a bit inconvenient.
-
If you find a seller, please let me know. My wild boar wasn't tied up properly and ran off, so now I can't get to work.
-
No matter how tall or beautiful a city's buildings are, they don't belong to individuals, nor do they necessarily change one's quality of life! Whether it's a first, second, or third-tier city, what is it that you're really looking for?
-
I've traveled to a few cities in Taiwan. My impression is that, apart from some of the larger ones, they mostly feel like county towns—not many tall buildings, and very tranquil.

That's true if you're only looking at the streetscapes. But Taiwan is small, so even if you live in the countryside, getting to a city doesn't take much time. Life is still very convenient.
