how the city was making its way to globalization

During my stay in Taipei, I was impressed with how the city was making its way to globalization.
... how the city was going on globalizing.

HI,
I think the above two convey different ideas but the second makes more sense. Am I right? Thanks.

Both are awkward and somewhat out of register, the second more so. I suggest: During my stay in Taipei, I was impressed with how the city was globalizing / continuing to globalize / advancing toward globalization.
