Have you ever felt like city life is too fast—cars rushing, people texting, work piling up?
Taitung is different. It joined the Cittaslow, or “Slow City,” movement. This idea began in Italy and celebrates towns that value quality of life, local culture, and a slower, more mindful lifestyle.
Here, time feels different. People walk more slowly, talk to neighbors, and enjoy nature. You’ll see locals biking to work, chatting at markets, or sitting by the sea with tea or coffee.
The slow city lifestyle isn’t about being lazy. It means living with intention, not just speed—choosing fresh, local food over fast food, listening more, and rushing less.
Many young people say, “When I come to Taitung, I can finally breathe.”
