Taichung City is located in the heart of Taiwan and serves as an important hub of transportation for people traveling between the northern and southern parts of the island. The weather here is mostly sunny throughout the year. With an average temperature of 23.3 °C (73.9 °F), it has been named Taiwan’s most livable city. July–August are the warmest months and January–February are the coolest. During daytime, the temperature is always warm (and sometimes hot), even in the winter. However, at night in winter, temperatures can drop significantly.
The minimum legal age for drinking and smoking is 20 in Taiwan, and driving under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited by law. Furthermore, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are prohibited throughout NCHU.Many international students have fallen victim to scam calls, which are prevalent in Taiwan. As a reminder, do not provide any personal information such as your bank account number, online banking login credentials, date of birth, and even the romanized spelling of your name, as such information can be used to gain control of your bank account. When you receive a call from an unknown caller who claims to be a government, telecom, or bank employee, do not answer any questions or listen to their orders. Your best course of action is to hang up immediately, or ask for their number and report it to the 165 Antifraud Hotline (reachable by cellphones) to see if it is indeed a scam call.
