Taiwan’s national tourist board calls the neighbouring (and historic town) of Anping one of the ‘best small tourist towns’ in Taiwan – so this really is one the top things to do in Tainan. Along with the Old Fort (see below), the main historic attraction here is the Anping Treehouse. The Anping treehouse itself is actually a former warehouse that w...
A short walk from Anping Treehouse brings you to Anping Fort (also known as Fort Zeelanda). Anping Fort can be seen for miles around and was built in the 1620s by the Dutch East India Company, to act as an international business centre. As trade at the time depended on military force to control the markets, the value of the area to the Dutch was ma...
Grand Mazu temple (aka the ‘Great Queen of Heaven temple) is Tainan’s most revered place to worship and is dedicated to Mazu, the patron deity of fisherman. It is open seven days a week (free admission) and you witness a great number of local people paying their respects when you visit – there are around 500 Mazu temples in Taiwan but this is one o...
Taiwan is famous for its creative parks (especially in Taipei)and Tainan is no exception – home to independent, quirky shops, food stalls and pop up art installations and murals. Blueprint Creative Park came to be after local artists expressed a desire to be able to legally paint on walls somewhere in Tainan. Working with local artists, the local G...
Although not really on the tourist map, we saw Tainan Park on the map (still shown by its former name of Zhongshan on some older Tainan maps) and decided to have a sunset walk there early one evening, Very much under the radar of tourist things to do in Tainan, the serenity and beauty of the huge floating pavilion made this park really stand out. A...
Tainan’s Hayashi Department Store is like stepping back in time in Taiwan, akin to visiting Selfridges or Liberty in London. Six stories in height and relatively compact (don’t expect a huge modern department store), Hayashi Department Store was opened in 1932 during the Japanese occupation and to this day still has its original lift / elevator in ...
The Chin Men Movie Theatre is a historic Tainan cinema / theater that famous Taiwanese film director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility, Hulk) used to visit as a young boy. Chin Men is also the only theatre left in Taiwan that still displays hand drawn movie posters, many of which can be seen outside the theatre and on the surrounding streets. Created ...
‘Blooming’ heck – so we had read a few articles about how good and authentic the Tainan Garden Flower Night Market is. Chock full of Taiwanese street food fare and tasty tidbits, we were personally a bit underwhelmed by it compared to all the other Taiwanese night markets we had previously visited. So yes, there are a lot of stalls at the Garden Ni...
Guohua Street is easily one of the best things to do in Tainan and a top Tainan tourist spot – it is a busy, narrow shopping road packed full of cool shops and eateries, but do watch out for the mopeds!. There is just so much to see (and eat) here, and it seems to be very popular with the Tainan students – we tried a few street food dishes (includi...
Possibly the prettiest and most picturesque street in Tainan, Shennong Street used to be the main entrance for the river ports during the time of the Qing Dynasty – it used to be the busiest area in the whole of the city, as merchants and buyers would enter and exit from the port here. Shennong Street in Tainan has a glut of gift-shops, but the ove...
