Central Taiwan city — Taiwan's third-largest by population and the country's mildest year-round climate (rarely above 32°C, rarely below 12°C). The Calligraphy Greenway (the linear park axis through downtown), Yizhong Night Market, and Fengjia Night Market are the dense walkable cores. Taiwan offers 90-day visa-free for many western passports; the Employment Gold Card is the long-stay route for high-skilled workers. The structural draws are mild year-round climate (Taipei-style without the rain), meaningfully sub-Taipei pricing, and proximity to Sun Moon Lake (1h east) and Alishan (2h east).
