When it comes to the souvenir of Taichung, the first thing everyone will think is definitely the sun cake. It is said that it existed from Ching Dynasty, and there were several legends about its name.
Legend one, in ancient China, one day sun disappeared and people thought it was the monster that ate it; therefore, they made many sun- shaped cakes, miraculously, sun rose the next day. People thought it was really a magic and they decided to name the cake sun cake.
Legend two, cake makers shaped cakes round and the color was yellow. After baking, it looked like sun, and its name was handed down.
No matter who name it, sun cakes become the well- known products in Taichung and visitors will buy them as gifts. Moreover, as the time goes by, cake makers invented a lot of new flavors, but my favorite is original flavor. Next time you can try them, and you will be surprised by those new flavors.

Traveler kitchen- Greece
There are many delicious restaurants in Taichung and when it comes to Greek flavor, almost everyone will have the same answer: The Traveler Kitchen. It is opened since 2005. With enthusiasm and patience, the three investors realize their reverie. After their trip to Greece, they decided to have their own restaurant.
When I stepped in the restaurant, I was surprised by its decoration. It seemed that I was in Greece, foods, drinks, and desserts were traditional Greek flavor. What’s more, servers wore costumes as their uniforms and they represented different characters; some were warriors, some were country people, and some were gods and goddesses.
The server in goddess costume sent us the dishes, and she was very hospitable and well- mannered. She acted that we were friends, not customers. In addition to her friendliness, the dishes were good. The traditional Greek flavor was hard to find in Taiwan, but in Traveler Kitchen you can taste it. I ordered the Greek seafood risotto; its shape was like rice but actually it was noodle. With special spices and abundant ingredients, it tasted delicious. There were many dishes I want to taste; therefore, I will visit here again.

The Lung of Taichung
Since I am the college student in Taichung, I decide to look for all the interesting and beautiful resort and try to go each place at least once during my college life. Therefore, I read many journey magazines and surfed on the net; I found a lot of resorts that attract me a lot. At last, I chose summit resort(新社莊園) as my first stop.
I remembered the day was mid-April and the weather that day was warm and sunny; I was excited so that I get up early and was eager to go on the trip as soon as possible. Riding on a motorcycle, my friend, Claudia, and I started the trip. The scenery along the road was beautiful; at that time, the weather became hotter ant hotter and we sweated all over but still wanted to go to the destination. After half and an hours riding, we finally arrive at the summit resort.
新社 is called the lung of Taichung, and the summit resort is located in there. With the mild climate and various butterflies and birds there is regarded as the best resort for people live in Taichung to visit.
I will post some photos next time so you can understand how beautiful there is!
