Shr-Hwa International Tower

This 47-story skyscraper is a prominent landmark in downtown Taichung, recognized for a facade designed to resemble bamboo. Visitors typically go to view the architecture or stay at the five-star hotel located on the upper floors.

Getting There

The tower is located within the city center of Taichung. Depending on your starting point in the downtown area, it is accessible via local bus or taxi, usually taking 10 to 20 minutes.

Duration of Visit

If you are visiting specifically to view the building or access the hotel facilities, allow 1 to 2 hours. Guests staying overnight will spend more time on site.

When to Visit

The building is visible at all times, but the facade is clearly seen during daylight hours. Like most downtown landmarks, the surrounding area becomes more crowded during weekends and public holidays.

  • National Museum of Natural Science (0.9km)
  • National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (1km)
