On your left, look up for a tall, pale tower with sharp, fin-like edges and a slim strip of glass balconies running up the middle, cutting into that bright blue sky.
This is Treasure Garden, or 寶格 (Bǎo gé), a residential skyscraper in Taichung’s Xitun District... and it has serious “quiet luxury” energy. It was designed by the Italian firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, the kind of team that makes buildings feel tailored-like someone took a ruler to the skyline and said, “Let’s keep it crisp.” At 160 meters tall-about 39 floors above you, plus six basement levels below-this place is basically a small vertical neighborhood stacked like a very expensive layer cake. Because who wouldn’t want SIX basement levels?
As of late 2020, it ranked as Taichung’s ninth tallest, and twenty-ninth in all of Taiwan-high enough to feel removed from street noise, but still close enough to smell dinner drifting up on a humid night.
When you’re ready, La Bella Vita is a 3-minute walk heading southwest.
