Where Bubble Tea Was Invented

Bubble tea is generally credited to Taichung in the 1980s, with two teahouses still arguing over which of them did it first. Tapioca pearls in iced tea have since become one of Taiwan's most successful exports.

The clock: Taichung keeps UTC+8. Its National Taichung Theater, opened in 2016, was built with almost no straight walls — a structural problem that took years to solve.
