Taichung is the second-largest city in Taiwan, a special municipality in the centre of the island with a population of roughly 2.85 million, making it the largest city of central Taiwan. It observes National Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round, as Taiwan does not use daylight saving. Located on the western coastal plain between the Taiwan Strait and the Central Mountain Range, Taichung grew rapidly after the merger of the former Taichung City and surrounding Taichung County in 2010, which gave it special-municipality status. The city is known for a mild climate, a strong manufacturing and machine-tool base, and major cultural landmarks including the National Taichung Theater designed by architect Toyo Ito, and the National Museum of Natural Science. Taichung also serves as an important hub on Taiwan's north-south high-speed rail line.
