    Comments from Utopians:

    "Taichung has a very helpful resource, the Taichung Rainbow Paradise. It's basically a gay services community center. The office is quite small, able to accomodate only about 20 people or so, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. The guys who hang out there are typically between the ages of 20-30, but the staff is very outgoing to anyone of any age. There is a map on the link above. The area of town is near Zhong-You department store." -- cotton4silk, Mar 30, 2011

Saunas and Fitness for Men

    • Adam
        Shuang She Lu 1 Tuan (Section 1) 19 Siang No. 2, 2220-1069. This place is on the corner. Look up for a big vertical white neon sign board with 4 red chinese characters and their phone number below it (there is no English sign, but you can match the phone number listed here). Large and international. Multiple floors and many different rooms: karaoke, wet areas, TV lounge, gay videos, dark areas, fun spaces, etc. Young crowd and some mature who like younger guys.

        Comments from Utopians:

        "Adam sauna is a good considering there are not a lot of things to do in Taichung. It is near to the train and bus station. The pools are not working and I didn't go for the steam room. It has an undivided, big shower area after the entrance. The building is huge, with large, dark rooms and countless mazes and private rooms. It is good to stay there overnight if you are unable to get a good, cheap hotel. They provide blankets for you if you feel cold. Mostly there are people sleeping everywhere as the place is big and dark. Still, there are always some guys looking for fun. A good place to have fun or rest." -- ericswfs, Jan 10, 2011

    • Hon Hwa Gong
        B/F 145 Kuang Fu Rd, 225-2665. Open 24 hours.

        Comments from Utopians:

        "This is the place to go (unless the opposition has smartened up a lot). Sauna, steam, plunge pools (hot and cold), plenty of towels, free drinks, restrooms, TV rooms, etc. Mainly middle-aged and up crowd, but friendly and polite. No problem being the only non-Asian here! Easy to find - one block away from Taichung Park. Search 'Guangfu Road' on Google Maps." -- bear4unz, Nov 19, 2011
