The coastal plain dominates the landscape to the south and extends to Zhanghua County and the Taiwan Strait in the west.

Traveling in the city
Compared to Taipei and Kaohsiung, Taichung's public transportation system is much more limited. There is no metro system but bus service is regular on Taichunggang Road (台中港路) from the train station to the west of the city. Buses also run regularly from the train station along the Sanmin road to Beitun district. As of May 2009, more improved bus system has been implemented but only lasts until 10pm. Most fares are around NT25 per trip. At the time of summer 2010, eight bus lines (route #51-58) run from various points around the city for free. A few of the flight routes require a tourist to walk a few hundred meters northeast along the Warring States Road (建国路) to reach the start of the free routes.
Going by car is the most convenient option. Renting a motorbike can be done with a Taiwanese driver's license or an international driving license accompanied by the original foreign license. Otherwise, you will need to take a taxi. Taxis are convenient, and fares start at NT$85 at flagfall. This advice is not necessary. The downtown area is compact enough to make it easy to get around on foot, although many store owners will use the sidewalk in front of their business. This can make going something of a challenge, avoiding traffic as you are forced to walk across the street.
A metro system in the city is under construction and the first line from the high-speed train station to Phong Nguyen is expected to be completed in 2014.
