The Dating App for Taichung
Last updated
Taichung has Taiwan's best weather, its biggest night market, and a growing population of students and young professionals. Krush helps you meet Taiwanese singles and international daters across the city.
The local dating scene
Taichung runs at a slower pace than Taipei and is much more spread out, so scooters rather than the metro shape how people move and meet. Fengjia Night Market is the largest in Taiwan and the centre of student social life, the West District around the Calligraphy Greenway has the café and brunch scene, and Xitun holds the newer commercial development. The mild, dry climate makes outdoor dates viable most of the year.
The local community
Taichung is Taiwan's second-largest city and sits in the middle of the western urban corridor. It has a substantial student population across several large universities and growing Southeast Asian resident communities, particularly Vietnamese and Indonesian.

Students & campus communities
Feng Chia University gives its name to the surrounding night market, which is the densest student social area in the city and open late every night. Tunghai University has one of the most attractive campuses in Taiwan and a strong international programme, while National Chung Hsing anchors the research side. Because Taichung is cheaper and less crowded than Taipei, students have more space and more freedom, and scooters make the city easy to move around. Krush helps you meet people beyond your own campus in a city where the universities sit far apart.

Frequently asked questions
Where do people go on dates in Taichung?
Fengjia Night Market is the classic cheap option and the busiest place in the city. The West District around the Calligraphy Greenway has the café and brunch scene for something quieter, and Gaomei Wetlands at sunset is the go-to for a longer trip out.
Is Krush free in Taichung?
Yes — Krush is free to download and start matching across Taichung on iOS and Android.
How does Taichung compare with Taipei for dating?
Slower, cheaper, and more spread out. Taipei's MRT makes almost any match reachable, whereas Taichung runs on scooters and distances are longer — but the weather is better and the pace leaves more room for things to develop gradually.
Will Krush match me across Taichung?
Yes, with your distance preference set for it. The city is large and public transport is limited outside the main corridors, so a match from Fengjia to the south of the city is a real scooter ride. A tighter radius keeps weeknight plans practical.
Is Taichung good for international students?
Tunghai and Feng Chia both have established international programmes, and the lower cost of living compared with Taipei goes a long way. The international community is smaller, which makes it tighter and easier to join once you find it.
