Leave Zhong Ke Hotel promptly at 7:00 PM. From Beitun, the simplest taxi-free option is usually a Taichung City Bus toward Xitun and Feng Chia University; the ride commonly takes 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic. The MRT Green Line does not reach Fengjia directly, so buses are more practical tonight. Check Google Maps or the Taichung Bus app for the live route and final departures before leaving—the journey may involve a transfer, and buses become less frequent later in the evening.
Spend the evening wandering the lanes around Feng Chia University, where stalls usually stay lively well into the night. Try oyster omelet, grilled skewers, pepper buns, fried chicken, Taiwanese sausage, or a refreshing fruit tea; allow around NT$200–400 per person. Bring cash, expect crowds, and avoid filling up at the first stall—Fengjia is best enjoyed by sharing several small portions. Keep your walking route compact so you can leave around 9:00 PM rather than getting caught deep inside the market.
Take a short bus ride or walk toward National Taichung Theater, depending on your exact position and the live route. From 9:10–9:35 PM, admire the curved “sound cave” architecture and illuminated exterior; indoor access and exhibitions may already be closed, but the building is worthwhile from outside. Continue to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taichung Zhonggang, roughly 5–10 minutes away by bus or around 15–20 minutes on foot, for a quick browse and dessert or drink. Department-store shops generally close around 9:30–10:00 PM, so treat this as a brief stop and leave by about 10:10–10:15 PM. Return to Zhong Ke Hotel by Taichung City Bus, checking Google Maps or the Taichung Bus app for the last practical connection; allow 35–50 minutes with a transfer and aim to board by 10:15 PM to be back before 11:00 PM.
