Why go
This route suits curious travelers who enjoy seeing how buildings shape a visit as much as the displays inside them. Give the science museum a substantial morning rather than trying to cover every gallery. The city bus corridor connects the museum district with the theater area and continues toward Tunghai University, so allow time for stops, traffic and the campus approach. At the theater, look at the flowing interior before the day ends with the chapel’s thin-shell form. Check the theater program and chapel access locally; a performance is a separate evening choice, not part of this day budget.
