Real estate is a good example: Between 1987 and 1989, during Taiwan's real estate boom, house prices in Taichung shot up by an average of 500 percent, the highest rate of increase in Taiwan and far above Taipei's 350 percent rise.
房地產是個好例子。在民國七十六到七十八年間，台灣全面掀起房地產狂飆時，台中市以平均五倍的漲幅，遙遙領先同時期只有三倍半的台北市，高居全台灣第一。
