Zhōnglì (中壢) is a mid-sized city of about half a million in the heart of Taoyuan. The lower third of the city is actually part of neighbouring Pingzhen but there's not much of a visible border between the two. Apart from a pair of awesome night markets, Zhongli is also home to a great bar scene and plenty of good restaurants. It isn't a conventional tourist attraction by any means, but if you're living and working or studying in Taiwan, it's a good place to be.
