The 34 best things to do with kids in Tainan

Incredibly beautiful museum. I enjoyed it, and learned a lot. They have a big collection of weapons, music instruments, statues and art. I bought the english audio tour. It is a good addition to learn extra but there is already alot of english text around the museum so an audio tour is not required. Sometimes when i wanted to use the english audio tour device it said: this chapter is in manderin only, which I think was very weird. After de viewing the museum there is a nice gift shop, a 7-11 and a Starbucks. I would recommend this museum and the beautiful park around the museum building.

The Chimei Museum is absolutely stunning - one of the most impressive and unexpected finds in Taiwan. The grand, European-style architecture and beautiful park setting make it worth visiting even before you step inside. The museum’s collections are world-class, from ancient weaponry and artifacts to one of the largest violin and instrument collections on Earth. The exhibits are beautifully presented, and the mix of art, history, and culture makes for an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss the virtual concert in the music hall - it’s a wonderful surprise that ties the whole visit together.

Beautiful museum in a beautiful setting. I loved the classical music playing from speakers in the park. The arms and armour gallery was my unexpected highlight. I also really liked the musical instruments gallery. The fine art gallery was also very nice but hard to compare when you’ve been to the galleries in Europe.

Excellent service - golf cart took us from parking lot to museum and back! Staff readily available to answer questions. Very clean, bright, cool and comfortable. Even have small Italian style restaurant (a bit expensive for lunch) and Starbucks and 7-11.

It's a great and fantastic museum!! So vast and amazing. They are collecting so many fine arts, and my fav is animal museum. You also can do picnic outside museum, they have small lake and bridge. So many photo spots

Great museum and the place is huge with lots of interesting collections and shows to check out. I especially enjoyed the exhibit where they had their Taxidermy collection with animals from around the world. very cool. The day we were there, there were lots of school kids there too, so it was a bit crowded, but still having enough space to move around.

Splendid experience at the museum good for family and sportive individuals who like to spend time on the massive park in front of the museum. Free entrance for some parts of the exhibits. The ticket is around 200 to 300 per person. Food and restaurants inside the hall. Souvenir is avaliable.

Came here many times! Even though it’s a tourist spot, the vibe feels just right. The street is lined with old local houses and well-preserved buildings that give it a really nostalgic charm. It’s mixed with bars, cafes, and snack shops that make your Tainan evening feel more lively and relaxed at the same time. I really enjoy walking through, especially when the lanterns light up at night. It’s not a long street, but the mix of culture, food, and lights makes it a place I never get bored of :)

5 minutes on foot from Yongle Market. Surprisingly, it was quiet with couples of tourists were there, meaning we could slowly and enjoyably wander around without worrying of the crowd. The alley itself was small, short but very nice with some artistic coffee and shops. The lanterns and the old houses made it even more stunning, day and night.

Absolutely gorgeous little street. Would recommend coming in the day and night, so you see the calmness of the day and the glow of the streetlamps at night. There's lots of cute little bars and eateries, and places to get souvenirs and crafts.

Cool street but quite a few storefronts were closed or empty. Visited around 3pm in November. Street is about 1 block long. Easy to find on google maps.

Night visit 5 🌟 Good vibe, and lots of photo opportunities. The shops are all pretty interesting to look at there are a few eateries. There is definitely something for everyone here.

Definitely a beautiful site at night. Street market is okay (night markets are better - check out my other review for night markets). Food is great. I would recommend to go at night but early enough that you don’t miss out on shops as they close by 9 pm

Really love this unique street. Every shop is cool and impress. Chill vibe, want to go it again !

If you like history and are into calligraphy then you might like to come here for a leisure stroll to look around. It will cost you 70NT though. Sure the banyan tree in the building is cool but if you have been to other places with banyan trees this might not be so interesting for you. The souvenir shop doesn’t have much stocked and what it does have you can buy anywhere. It’s not a large place to wall around. My kids were bored (10 and 4) but they did enjoy feeding the fish and watching the heron hunt. I’d say that was the highlight. Overall for me personally I wouldn’t go out of the way to see it. Lots of mozzys and for me not a lot of personal interest aside from the banyan tree overgrowth.

This place feels really special, especially since there are not a lot of places with this much history still standing in Taiwan. Would recommend to visit. Usually less people here compated to fort Zeelandia. Can visit with the same ticket as for Tait & Co. Take your time to explore all the rooms and see how the trees are holding the walls together. The place can feel a bit spooky.

Hauntingly beautiful. I felt like I was walking through one of Guillermo del Toro's dreams. I can't believe that it's all one tree! Stairs strategically placed throughout the abandoned warehouse allow you to see various parts of the tree from different vantage points. Nature is extraordinary! Lots of photo opps.

Great must see location in Tainan. The Banyan tree completely took over the building. This gives great opportunities for cool pictures. The recent update with mirror structures is nice idea.

A calm and cooling spot in the summer heat. Entry ticket gives access to the Calligrapher's memorial exhibit, Tait Merchant building, the maze-like tree house, small cafe, and gift shop Even if you're not interested in history or museums, it's a quick interesting experience

Enjoyable cultural attraction. Not all exhibits had English translation. Bearing in mind, it’s the tree house we came to see, not the attached small museum…it was a bonus.

Very pleasant experience. Entire house is integrated with tree branches / vines. There are also sky bridges and a small lake in the back

Beautiful gardens within the walls, free entrance. There is TWD40000 fee to go into the temple enclosure and see the many exhibits and halls dedicated to learning, prayers and festivals. Not a vast amount to see but still fascinating and well displayed.

A wonderful historic site. Raw and no frills. A place of worship so be respectful. Just across the pedestrian walk to the main entrance on the opposite side of the street is a Shop selling home grown Taiwanese Cocoa products. The chocolate ice cream a a treat for chocolate lovers and refreshing in the Taiwan heat

A quaint little temple in Tainan. I'd enjoy it more if it wasn't so hot and humid that day. I was fortunate to listen to the in-house ensemble when they were rehearsing. Many thanks and much appreciated.

A very well organized shrine/ place of worship for Confucius. The ground is huge and you would only need to pay for the admission fee if you want to see the main temple (the admission fee is extremely cheap/ we could have easily spent more time here but we had more stops to hit up throughout the day.) I learned a lot about who he was and how the rituals of honoring him are carried out these days. I would say this is one of the must visit places if you’re in Tainan!

Peaceful place, friendly staff, nice for morning or afternoon walks. One part of the temple has an entrance fee of NTD 40.

Beautiful Grounds and walking paths. The gardens are lovely. Grounds keepers are very friendly! The pond is cute with sweet turtles of all sizes.

Well maintained historical sites. Much more somber than other religiou buildings

As someone who loves literature, I was so excited to find out this museum exists! The exhibits were impressive. With the many changes throughout Taiwan’s history, there are gaps where written literature wasn’t as prevalent. I liked how history, literature, and culture were shown to be so intertwined. While of course not everything is translated, the most significant descriptions and placards are bilingual in English and Mandarin, so tourists will be able to enjoy this museum, too. I highly recommend adding this museum to your list of must-see places. Reserve 90+ minutes.

A museum not to be missed for literature lovers. Presents an insightful narrative of the evolutionary history of Taiwan through the lens of the literary arts. The exhibits invite visitors to immerse in an intertextual dialogue with the writers and their works, experiencing first hand the immense role Taiwanese literature plays to shape cultural and identity discourse in modern life. I was deeply moved and engaged throughout.

It is an interesting museum providing the literary history of Taiwan.

To my surprise it wasn't a boring place as i thought it would be. you don't have to buy a ticket to enter, you can interact with a lot of games and screens you can also read a lot of books and the architecture itself is very historical. I learned a lot in this place, I visited when it was raining and it's actually a big place that you can walk for over an hour just hanging out in that place and they have a lot of English translations to many things that you can interact with and have fun with. Especially to those who really enjoy literature in Taiwan you can know a lot of culture, authors and also books

Very interesting, even in English. The women that work there are so friendly, kind, lovely and so so smart! They love to help and explain everything to you. Thank you to all of you, we had an amazing visit here

Really nice building with a good amount of knowledge inside. There were journals dating from the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, to the era of censorship before the 1990s. Upstairs there are literary works and stories from Taiwan’s Indigenous Peoples.

A great place to know Taiwan history and literature. The exhibitions are informaive; the building is artistic, comfortable, modern and beautiful to me. Free admission. You can check out the audio guide machine. Definitely a must-come place if u want to know more about Taiwan literature and history.

The Sicao Green Tunnel (四草綠色隧道) is one of Tainan's most famous and picturesque tourist attractions. It's often called the "Mini Amazon of Taiwan" due to its dense, overhanging mangrove forests that create a beautiful, serene green canopy over the water. The Sicao Green Tunnel offers a unique and beautiful nature experience that is hard to find elsewhere in Taiwan. The stunning visual of the green canopy reflecting on the water makes for unforgettable photos and a very peaceful escape from the city. It's a highlight of any trip to Tainan.

The day we were there was pretty hot, wearing a life jacket made it even hotter. The views along the green tunnel were very special, Amazon forest like. The tunnel was narrow and trees were hanging low, the guide had to call out constantly to lower your head to pass through. It was an interesting experience.

Would be nice if they can also do the tour in English. It was worth it even though it was raining. Getting the tickets were complicated and not straightforward. It was still worth it.

Pick up online ticket is weird, need to go to temple to pick up the printed ticket Guide is good, worth experience

Second grade world class wet land - $200 NT per adult, can purchase on site or over the agencies such as klook trip dot com. Spend roughly 30 mins on board and the guide was so helpful and funny, knowledgeable about the eco area. NO ENGLISH GUIDE, unfortunately. Rural area, plan your travel accordingly. I waited an hour for the return bus.

It was an experience. It took 30 minutes as compared to the other one that took 70 minutes. It’s 200ntd a person and was basically an explanation of types of mangroves. The tour was unfortunately in Chinese but if you are interested in seeing it it’s not that bad.

Such a great experience. Staf very helpful and kind. Go to here for refreshing from city rush is a good choice. Also their have a big temple and museum. I suggest came early u can saw a beautiful moment. Enjoy!

Very cool historic departmental store and worth checking out. Recommend taking the elevator to the top and check out the roof before working your way down. We had a lovely view of the sunset from the roof top. The departmental store had lots of interesting items and worth spending plenty of time there. We got some earrings there and some tile coasters. Very happy with the purchase and the experience.

Has many different goods available. From household goods to fashion goods, one can find things that they like. They have quite a variety of Taiwan edible goodies on the first floor. The 5th has a cafe which serves delicious pastries and the soft toufu dessert. There is even a small souvenir shop on the top floor! Must go! Definitely worth a visit.

A "must see" if you are interested in a relic from the Japanese colonial period. Interesting to learn that Taiwan was once ruled by the Japanese for half a century and that this area was once known as the "Ginza" of Tainan. Of note, the restrooms were tiny and the tofu pudding desserts served on the 5th floor cafe were delicous but servings were on the petite size. They also require each person to order something. Displays were in Chinese only but you can learn alot more about this relic doing a web search.

This is a very historic old building but also has a cool set of small shops inside it. There is a big queue to use the elevator, and it's tiny, so just take the stairs. Speaking of the stairs, they are very steep! The cafe at the top is cool and has some tasty treats on the menu for reasonable prices.

The cafe at the top is very stylish and serves nice desserts and drinks. The caramel pudding with “Taiwanese macaron” was a real treat, and the red tea float was also very nice. A great place to relax. Minimum order for sitting is pretty much just buy something.

A historical place reminiscent of the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. Structurally well preserved with modern updates that do not affect its historical stature. Worth a visit.

High ended department stores with dated back to 1930s vintage stuff, multi storey and air cons Cute stuff

It's a nice park for a run or a stroll. It's not a must-visit in Tainan but it's pleasant. There are many birds hanging about. There is one goose who was not afraid of people one bit and insisted that I take a portrait of him. I obliged, of course.

A historic park built by Japanese when they were here, nowadays it has been a popular place for all citizens daily life . But it should be improved continuously. Please do something Tainan mayor!!

Very nice park in the middle of Tainan. Heaven for squirrel lovers! 🐿🌰 Could spot dozens of squirrels and sea turtles. Great for mid day break.

Nice park in the middle of the city. A place to cool off a little bit from the burning sun

I love this park it’s so calm and well maintained!

Relaxing place. If you want to just sit and pause for a while, this a good place to go. This place is huge and many people come and go here. Some of them were playing, eating, walking, jogging and some are just sitting while listening to the sound of the wind. It's also a good place to bring your kids and your dogs or cats.

This area of park has it flower blossoms that looks like cherry blossoms from a far. Small area in the park that's good for taking photos. Seasonal bloom during winter season so not all months has flower to bloom.

Waste of time by getting into a small boat and cruise along a small river. Nothing interesting. Will not visit again.

Taijiang National Park, managed by the National Park Service under the Ministry of the Interior, is a captivating natural and cultural treasure in Taiwan. The park seamlessly blends diverse ecosystems, historical sites, and traditional communities, creating a rich tapestry of experiences. The park's headquarters serve as a gateway to this splendid landscape, providing visitors with valuable information and resources. The staff's commitment to environmental education and conservation is commendable, fostering a sense of stewardship among visitors. One of the park's highlights is its unique biodiversity, encompassing coastal wetlands, mangrove forests, and vibrant marine life. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the well-maintained trails and observation points that showcase the park's ecological wonders. Moreover, Taijiang National Park preserves Taiwan's cultural heritage with historic sites and traditional villages, allowing visitors to delve into the island's past. The integration of local communities into the park's management enhances the authenticity of the experience. In summary, Taijiang National Park is a testament to Taiwan's dedication to preserving its natural and cultural legacy. The harmonious coexistence of nature and human history makes it a must-visit destination for those seeking a profound connection with Taiwan's essence.

A lot of reviews are misleading and it confused me too. This location is the national park headquarters. This is only a building with a small museum. No boat ride here. There are a few ponds around with some birds but if you're interested in seeing the black faced spoonbill this isn't the place either, the conservation is further north. Worth a stop if you have your own wheels but otherwise you're better off heading straight to other places within the national park.

This is an artificial mangrove park that offers small 30min boat tours for a decent price. You get to see some small birds and a small crab here and there, but it wasn't a mind blowing experience overall. There is a temple you can visit nearby and a sperm whale museam. Pretty underwhelming and simply not worth it given that the drive from the Tainan city center is a good 20+ minutes.

The architecture of the visitor center is special and good for photo shooting. The wall of building is built by oyster shell. That is creative and looks good. But it seems not completed and is not fully opened yet. Not much things can be seen and visited.

National Park in Tainan. I visited a temple there. There is a possibility of small cruise around, especially in the green tunnel. I didn't have a chance to try since I arrived too late. There is no English description

Funny guide and well informed staff. They take special care of the patrons. Good tourist spot.

I’ve been to this place several times, but it’s difficult to catch the perfect weather for photographing the sunset. The fields weren’t as accessible as they used to be, where you could walk in, play with the salt, and take pictures. Due to the festival, it was crowded, so I’d probably recommend visiting during the week to avoid too many tourists.

Nice place to visit and learn how salt is harvested from the sea. We arrived quite late and had a good view of the sunset as well. The mountains of sea salt on each tile was marvelous. Was made to understand that it will be harvested and sent to a factory closeby for cleaning and processing before being sold.

It's ok. Can get some interesting mirror pictures in the water. Was a 50 minute drive for us. No entrance fee. They were running a free tram to take you out a little bit further to see the oyster beds and learn a little bit (in Mandarin). But the tram ends with mostly a sales presentation slideshow , not a "movie" and then you enter a sales room for various salt products. You could try a free sample toothbrush pre loaded with salt toothpaste.

Unique historical attraction. They must have to reproduce the salt stacks regularly because salt is obviously not collected this way anymore. Amazing location for capturing sunset. There were many tourists and locals on a weekend evening at dusk.

A brief guide of salt field history. Nice to spend some time here. Plenty of parking, clean restrooms, snacks, and a short trolley tour.

It's a free protected attraction + mini activity. Plenty of parking space. They also got a souvenir shop items made out of salt.

Where the river deltas of Tainan meet the ocean are old salt collection fields. You can experience how they gathered sea salt in ancient times. There is a small golf cart tour you can take and a gift shop full of products they make from this special salt such as handsoap, shampoos, bath additives, lotion, toothpaste, etc. They even have soft serve ice cream, tea and Cafe lattes with this local salt added

Highly Recommended. My favourite night market in Taiwan. It has all the food and games and vibes of the others, but much less packed, much less touristy. More seats, more bins, more space. Cash Only

Such a cool experience! Amazing food, the people always helpful just wonderful not one of the overcrowded night markets! Very local smaller though still big!

Large scale night market was plenty of stalls and different style of food specialty bake tilapia is good. Also children’s and adult play carnival style ride quite clean and organized.

It’s the right size and right amount of crowd before it gets too crazy. I guess it would safe to pick the vendor with a line at front. It’s a bit tricky to order since they have different rules for some vendors.

Wusheng Night Market is easily one of Tainan’s most bustling, energetic, and entertaining night markets—an absolute must-visit if you're in the city! Open only on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, it transforms into a lively hub packed with the sights, sounds, and aromas of Taiwanese street culture. What sets Wusheng apart is its sheer size and variety. The food and drink options are endless—from sizzling skewers and deep-fried snacks to bubble tea, grilled seafood, traditional local delights, and creative fusion bites. Whether you’re a foodie on a mission or just looking to nibble your way through, there's something for everyone. But it’s not just about food. The market is a vibrant mix of lifestyle and culture. You’ll find stalls offering fortune-telling services, home essentials, beauty products, accessories, and quirky knick-knacks. It’s the perfect place to pick up a little something unique while immersing yourself in the local vibe. Adding to the fun, there's a whole section filled with classic night market games—think ring toss, balloon darts, fishing games, and more—plus a small funfair area that’s perfect for kids and families. The atmosphere is festive, friendly, and full of life. Despite the crowds, the market feels well-organized and easy to navigate. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes, bring cash, and come hungry! Wusheng Night Market is more than just a food stop—it’s an experience. One of the liveliest and most complete night markets in Tainan. Highly recommended!

The best night market I've ever been. With a huge vegetarian option. So many tasty and cheap options!

Fun local market. Very few foreigners. The roasted fish is amazing!!

Good spot for a rainy day and an absolutely beautifully designed building. Unfortunately many of the exhibitions halls were shut while we were there (I think they are all temporary galleries so you need to get your timing right). The joint ticket with the other art gallery building is worth it. I preferred art museum building 1.

The art displays are amazing! Nepal art really caught my eye. Beautiful curated and masterpiece! 👏👌✅😍 Japan artist really have oddly way of expressing art! ☺️🙌🫶 Enjoy the quant place like Umber for coffee break and The Pool for ice cream dessert! Perfect to sit and relax

Stunning building. The exhibits were super well curated and designed. Make sure to try the cafe on the top floor

You should definitely come here! The Tainan Art Museum is such a beautiful and inspiring place — full of creativity, history, and stunning architecture. Every exhibition is thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere is calm and artistic. It’s a perfect spot to spend a relaxing afternoon exploring art and culture. A must-visit when you’re in Tainan! 🎨✨

Quite a wide range of different collections most of which were wonderful artists new to me. The exhibitions were well displayed and the space well suited for the sizes of the collections.

IG: adell.travel If You are into the art 😊 this is your place. Many exhibitions the place is nice, modern, clean and the price is according with. You can spend at list 2 hours.

A masterpiece of architecture, with stunning designs that make it an ideal location for photography, whether during the day or at night! The interior has modern aesthetic that enhances the overall experience. Visitors can enjoy both permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions. The museum’s calm and quiet atmosphere creates an inviting space for learning and appreciating art at your own pace 🥰~

I really liked this art gallery. Your ticket is valid for both buildings, but I preferred this one to building 2. Im not sure if they are all temporary exhibitions or if there are permanent galleries - I’d recommend checking what’s on before your visit.

The city’s art centre hidden in an interesting historical building Well managed and scheduled with many local or new comer artists, that fully offers a great vibe … the big banyan tree living in the atrium is totally out of this world Therefore next trip to Tainan, remember to drop in, no regrets

Great architecture building…. Really love this old building. Every details revealed how much effort they have put in when the building was designed and built! Enjoy walking in the corridor and stair well… just stunning.

Some nice exhibitions currently, especially memory of a landscape, which although small had some exquisite otherworldly marble pieces. Ticket also includes the new art building, however currently not much is displayed there.

The staff were nice, the building has its own unique feel, different from Building 2. The garden in the middle is a great little spot to sit and chill if the weather is good.

The exhibits were more interactive rather than artistic. It is still worth a visit if you are interested in art. The $200NT ticket covers both museums but I think kids would prefer this over the larger museum.

This is an art museum very much in time with its community. Tainan is a smallish town, less urban and so in many ways more interesting than the soaking metropoles. The curators do as much as they can to bring Artist works to life by including biographical narratives and plain language explanations of the works or their subsets. So even if you lack the vocabulary of the art world, it becomes easy to connect with the artist and their works. There are several addresses dedicated to shakers children that let them play with and experiment with art materials. Very refreshing change from high brow museums that do more to ring fence the works for the 'art elites' than to make their institutions valuable to the general community.

The Fahua temple is the temple I go to when I want to be in the most precious loving peaceful blessed Buddhist energy.... I love this sweet place. For those who know such energy this is the place to go. Silence .... what more can I say .... a blessing.

(Translated by Google) The front hall is dedicated to Maitreya Bodhisattva, the middle hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, and the back hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is an ancient temple with a great atmosphere and is worth visiting and worshipping. (Original) 前殿主祀彌勒菩薩，中殿主祀釋迦牟尼佛，後殿主祀觀世音菩薩，很有味道的古剎，值得前來參觀和參拜。

(Translated by Google) Tainan Fahua Temple is located in Tongpanqian, Central and Western District, Tainan City, Taiwan. It is a designated historic site by a municipality directly under the Central Government of the Republic of China. The temple is also one of the seven and eight temples in Fucheng, Taiwan. The temple's predecessor was the residence of Li Maochun, a scholar who came to Taiwan with Zheng Jing during the Ming Dynasty. Because he had no interest in fame, he planted plums and bamboos here, built a garden and practiced chanting Buddha. He was known as Li Bodhisattva. Li Maochun and Chen Yonghua, who joined the army of Ming Zheng, were good friends. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign (1798), Song Yongqing, the magistrate of Fengshan County, led a crowd to donate money to build the temple and built a three-level temple building. The front hall was dedicated to the God of Fire Zhurong (Emperor of Antarctica), also known as the Fire Temple; the middle hall was dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. The back hall is dedicated to Zhunti Bodhisattva, and there is another Zen room in the backyard. Fahua Temple faces north and faces south, with a total of five axes. The first main entrance is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, with Maitreya Bodhisattva in the center, Wei Tuo and Vajra in the back, and the Four Heavenly Kings on both sides; the second entrance is the Mahavira Hall, where the Three Jewels Buddha is worshiped, with eight Bodhisattvas, Wei Tuo and Vajra on both sides; The third entrance is the Guanyin Hall, dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. (Original) 臺南法華寺位於臺灣臺南市中西區的桶盤淺，為中華民國直轄市定古蹟。該寺亦為臺灣府城七寺八廟之一。 該寺前身原為明鄭時期隨鄭經來臺逸士李茂春的住所，因其無心名位，遂於此栽梅種竹，建園修行念佛，人稱李菩薩。李茂春與明鄭參軍陳永華為好友。 康熙四十七年（1798年）時，鳳山知縣宋永清率眾捐款修寺，建三進寺舍，前殿供奉火神祝融（南極大帝），又稱火神廟；中殿供奉觀世音菩薩，後殿供奉準提菩薩，並在後院另設禪房。 法華寺座北朝南，共五條軸線。主體第一進為天王殿，中央前面供奉彌勒菩薩，後方供奉韋馱，兩側則為四大天王；其第二進為大雄寶殿，供奉三寶佛，兩側有八大菩薩及韋馱、金剛；第三進為觀音殿，供奉觀世音菩薩。

(Translated by Google) The Fahua Temple in Tainan was built during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties. It was originally the "Dream Butterfly Garden" where the retired elder Li Maochun lived in seclusion. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was converted into a Buddhist temple to worship Sakyamuni Buddha. Its architecture integrates elements of Buddhism and Taoism. The left hall is dedicated to Emperor Guan, and the right hall is dedicated to the God of Fire. It is a rare example of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism in Taiwan. The "Yanshou Bridge" in the temple is named after believers praying for longevity. The Juxian Hall was once the gathering place of the Nanshe Literary Poetry Society. The mural "Zhuang Zhou Dreaming of Butterflies" echoes the allusion of Li Maochun. It was damaged by the war during the Japanese colonial period. After reconstruction in 1959, it still retained the traditional layout. It is now a municipal historic site. The temple preserves a replica of the inscription "Dream Butterfly Garden" inscribed by Chen Yonghua, witnessing the changes in history.

Omg the rudest man of Taiwan is here, just like others have said. The government should give him people skills training is they want to attract tourism. He was so rude and condescending. The door was open and he said to me... How did you get in?! He escorted me out and not a word to explain or suggest time to return. What a sad man. Make sure you don't just turn up during opening hours as you'll waste your time.

I recently visited the Qianqi Seed Museum in Tainan and unfortunately had a very negative experience. We arrived at 10am, the time listed on their Facebook page, though Google showed 9:30am as the opening time. A man at the gate informed us they weren’t open, and when I pointed out the conflicting information, he dismissed it, saying he couldn’t change the times on Google. After we were turned away, we waited for an Uber and I sent them a message via Facebook, politely explaining the issue. To my surprise, the same man came out in an aggressive manner, angrily confronting me and asking why I had messaged him. I explained that we simply wanted to visit the museum, but his hostility only escalated. He showed no interest in helping us or resolving the confusion and was extremely rude. It's unfortunate that the staff seemed to have no regard for visitors, especially tourists. The museum could be a wonderful place to visit, but the unpleasant behavior we encountered made it impossible to enjoy. I would not recommend visiting Qianqi Seed Museum unless they improve their customer service and treat visitors with respect.

Interesting place to learn about seeds and kill time. Entrance is $100. Not car park friendly (there is a paid parking lot down the road).

A Seed House type museum with a detailed natural quirky touch. Fascinating and informative. Learnt a lot about seeds and the beauty of them. Reservation is needed!!! And Chinese guide only!!!!

Awesome place. Highly recommend to visit. Have to make a reservation in advance.

Exit through the kitsch gift shop! It is a quirky little museum, full of little crafty pockets, but, there's not a lot a space to roam and explore outside of the tour. It is not overly child friendly either. A grumpy staff member was pretty quick to tell off me and my 4 year-old child for walking down a garden path. The founders are very passionate about seeds, however, everything is in Chinese. If you do dig seeds, it's worth a visit.

If you are interested in plants, you should visit here. The owner did a very detailed introduction for seeds. You can buy some interesting seeds in the shop and plant them and see what will germinate and growth. Very cool place!

Came here due to the good reviews but it is really a place more suitable if you have younger kids and someone who can appreciate drums because the ticket price for adult is not very cheap (close to TWD500 each). Drum show is at 11am and 3pm. Then you can take a short train ride, do archery, play at some playgrounds and get some food as ticket come with TWD50 discount for food purchase.

Don't treat this as another art village, but a place mainly for the drums show and with some amusement park facilities. In general the 40 mins show is great (twice a day), but other facilities are a bit worn out and not well maintained.

Visited after arriving at the Chimei Museum and learning it was closed on Wednesdays… Ten Drum Village is within walking distance of the east parking lot of the museum. You may be tempted to call for a taxi but it takes no more than ten minutes to walk. Really great recovery. Arrived in time for a drum show. Vast space that rewards just wandering around and discovering. Cool food and beverage outlets. Worth the admission (we were skeptical)

Came here for the Drum Show and it was good. There's a number of rides available such as the Sky Swing, Zip Line, Fan jump, River Rowing, Archery and Chimney Slide. The place is targeted towards a younger audience and there were lots of school kids there.

Such a fun experience! This is my second time going, during the week is a FAR better option if you can. I also highly highly recommend watching the show at 11:00 or 15:00, it was so beautiful.

Amazing Kid playground 🛝 is renovated from old sugar refinery to be wonderful landmark. Must Go!

Wouldn’t come here just for it… I came for Chimei Museum and this place is recommended by local… I don’t get in but I feel like that vibe is not as good… more of a low level commercial place… good for family with kids or schoolers maybe…. Wouldn’t recommend … ticket 500 for adults

If you can for the water park, it’s nice! Yet if you would like to walk around the reservoir, you may feel a little disappointed with the tickets cost about 120 or 200. It’s easy to get confused with the directions because the map is hard to understand and I only met ONE staff to show me the way of each attraction.

Quite a great scenery Feel cool in winter but in summer would be too hot One disappointment Feel sorry for the little pony, which you are allow to take a ride on Living in a rather pathetic environment

A surprised and interesting first visit. Surprised was for the scale of the complex and interested for the varieties of activities one can explore. The highlight was a series of venues to commemorate the Japanese project designer with a true objective historical views disregard the sensitive nature of a Japanese occupation period.

You have a park, BBQ place and camping. Nice weekend in autumn days when the weather is pleasant and not scorching 🥵

A very peaceful and perfect place to unwind and relax your mind most of all with your love of your life 😇♥️

Beautiful and amazing place.Relaxing and quiet place.Must visit in Taiwan.

Possibly the only place in Taiwan where I have felt ripped off and deceived. We got charged 450 to enter, thinking there must be something good to see at that price, when all is tired and run down with not even refreshments available. When we complained we were told that we had already received a discount because the water park was closed. There are many beautiful reservoirs in Taiwan, most of them free to access and with facilities that are better maintained than this. Not recommended.

Be sure to make a reservation before hand. We had a surprise menu . There were only two of us. Was absolutely delicious . Eveything was tasty and portions were generous.

no menu experience started with a pot of the refreshing Chrysanthemum tea perfect for this hot summer day. we had more than enough and some for dinner that night. This included dessert but it was quickly consumed before any pictures were taken.

Tasting menu is great. Not really a tasting menu but a set menu. Only a handful of tables so reservations are a must. Food is great. Service is great. Price is great. Take a bus or taxi if you don’t have a scooter. Not much parking nearby.

This place was amazing, I highly recommend making a booking and going to to check it out. The menu changes daily, depending on what produce is best at the market and everything tasted great. The owner was friendly and helpful and the decor had a traditional Taiwanese feel. Finally the meal was several courses for less than NT$600 per person, so go and enjoy a great experience.

Private kitchen serving Taiwanese cuisine. For TWD500 per head you get 7 dishes, a soup, steamed rice and desert. The dishes are seasoned with quite a lot of sugar and thus taste rather "sweet." The soup and the chicken soup rice noodle are oily. There are overlaps like Dongpo meat and pork rib soup, 2 fish dishes. Overall very good value for money and you can have a look at the hundred year house and antique furniture as well.

There is no menu. You pay 500 each for a meal of 7 dishes and one soup. It is a lot of food, and good too! The restaurant itself is a hundred year old house. It has such great ambiance.

I was shocked when I saw my meal put next to shoes in the kitchen The food tasted fine, but it was all cold. I would expect better quality ingredients, but the fish were tiny chunks compared to the ones on tv shows. I would expect more with my 800$

Very beautiful. Anyone who comes to Tainan should definitely come here.

The ambiance was so relaxing. The view was very impressive. A place where you can set activities for family and friends. Just remember to clean your mess up afterwards.

The park is close to Chimei museum. It is maintained well by Tainan city. There is a lake and big area of grass. Citizens can go with their family for enjoying the nature and having some outdoor activities with kids in the park. Picnic on the grass is a good option. Goose can be found in the lake. Rent a T-bike is also a good option to have fun in the park. It is a good place for family with kids.

Amazing place to have a picnic with friends and family.

The park was built next to the Chimei Museum and they come together extremely well.

This big park connecting to Chimei museum is wide and verdant. The meadow beside the pond is a terrific place for picnic or group activities. The track by the pond also provides a good route for walk. As public facilities are well maintained and the transportation is convenient, visitors can enjoy a great stay through out a day!

Comfortable, peace and clean place. It's so suitable place to go with friends and fams

The zoo is very spacious. And just like other reviews, can be toured in 2 hours. Good place to bring the kids, as they got kiddie pool. I'm also amazed as you interact with some animals without any harm, like the Alpacas. But the price to experience was just average, birds species are very repetetive throughout the zoo, they lack a lot of animals than what we expect, specially they had posted in their leaflet, logo and etc. i.e. tiger they got tiger on their arch, but there's no tiger.

Loads of beautiful animals, the layout is spread out nicely, the vibe is very natural, and the playgrounds and their fun fair rides are suitable for any age - 4 and up. Highly recommended!

Very good as we can engage and play with the animals, would have been better if I have more time at this place, superb exposure for the kids!

Nice animals. Worth the money. Fun for sale children. But the animals are kept in pretty bad conditions. Small cages, dirty water and cages. Very sad.

Wild animals attractions around you! Animal are well treated and healty! See you soon!

The zoo is the good place for taking kids for fun.

Great place if you hate reptiles. They manage to fit the largest snakes into the smallest empty glass boxes. The rest of the park is fine, and my son enjoyed it. But they need to do something about the Reptile house.

I attended the Lantern Festival on 3 Mar at the park and found that it is such and accessible, well-managed and easy to walk park with a sizable children playground, a well designed 2 storey whale structure and adequate toilets throughout the park, not forgetting the waterway flanking the park. A must do after exploring the Anping attractions.

Nice place to bring dog for a walk. Children's park nearby with views of the harbour.

Large, open, and beautiful park by the water. Popular attractions are the big sea goddess statue and giant whale. Great place for sunset pictures.

I also call this place a "dog park on weekends" we use to take our 2 dogs in here on weekends. if you are a dog love every week you can come here and play with them. You will find different dog breeds😍.

Nothing is better than enjoying the wonderful time with family when the sunset is shining and the wind is browsing. The majority of families, couples and friends take a relaxing picnic for a whole afternoon.

Very nice park by seaside. Can see beautiful sunset view! Many local come to take a walk during evening.

Great park to visit. Suitable for flying kites. Impressive statue.

Dr. Wang and his wife devoted themselves helping people who suffered from black foot disease. The clinic, which dr. Wang used to treat patients, now has become the museum.

Taiwan old culture talk about Black-Foot disease museum

It was a very sad experienced to get Black-foot disease in the some of city.

Informative

(Translated by Google) On the southwestern coast of Taiwan, there was once a silent tragedy called Blackfoot Disease. The villages in Beimen, Xuejia, Butai, and Yizhu have been adjacent to the sea for many years, but they are also unknowingly entangled with this invisible disaster. Even in the mountainous areas of Tainan City, Yilan, Changhua and other places, sporadic traces of blackfoot disease can be found. In the 43rd year of the Republic of China (1954), the Taiwan Medical Association officially revealed this terrible disease for the first time. The reason is that people have been drinking deep well water containing excessive arsenic for a long time. Arsenic slowly accumulates in the body, like a sharp knife hidden in the blood vessels, eventually causing vascular necrosis in the lower limbs, and even inducing liver cancer, kidney cancer and bladder cancer. As many patients approach the end of their lives, they feel painful and lonely, but unable to change. In Beimen District, a corner house stands quietly - it was the "Blackfoot Clinic" that once brought hope to countless patients, and has now been transformed into Taiwan's first medical museum. The museum collects precious medical information on the diagnosis and treatment of blackfoot disease in the past, as well as pieces of stumps of patients soaked in antiseptics and preserved, placed in front of the cross of Christ, silently witnessing a period of unbearable pain and perseverance in the world. The starting point of all this is Wang Jinhe, a doctor known as the "father of black foot disease". At that time, he was not afraid of poverty and lack of resources, so he resolutely opened his clinic free of charge, and joined hands with the nearby Beimen Island Clinic and Beimen Island Church to provide the sick villagers with not only medicines and surgeries, but also spiritual comfort and companionship. During that period, Dr. Wang and countless unknown medical staff and church volunteers used every ounce of tenderness in their lives to prop up the patients who were on the verge of despair. As times change, clinics close down, and the shadow of blackfoot gradually disappears. But Wang Jinhe did not want this period of history to be forgotten. He donated the old clinic and, with the assistance of the Cultural Construction Committee, transformed it into a memorial hall, so that future generations can touch the history of struggle for survival and feel the brilliance of the doctors' kindness from the remaining objects and memories. Outside the memorial hall, Yonglong Valley flows quietly. This waterway was once the golden channel for transporting salt from the north gate during the Japanese colonial period. It was bustling in the early years, and now it has become the lifeline that fishermen rely on for their livelihood. Standing on the bridge, looking at the reflections of the houses on the water reflected in the waves, it seems that you can still hear the sound of salt boats rowing in the distance, as well as the indomitable song of life of the Beimen people. (Original) 在臺灣西南沿海，曾經流傳著一種無聲的悲歌──烏腳病（Blackfoot Disease）。北門、學甲、布袋、義竹一帶的村莊，長年與大海為鄰，卻也在不知不覺間，與這場無形的災難緊緊糾纏。即便在臺南市山區、宜蘭、彰化等地，也能尋見烏腳病的零星足跡。 民國43年（1954年），臺灣醫學會首次正式揭示這項可怕的疾病。原因直指民眾長期飲用含砷過量的深井水，砷，在身體裡緩慢累積，如同一把藏在血脈中的利刃，最終引發下肢血管壞死，甚至誘發肝癌、腎癌與膀胱癌。許多患者走向生命終章時，痛苦而孤寂，卻也無力改變。 在北門區，一棟土角厝靜靜矗立──那是曾經為無數病患帶來希望的「烏腳病診所」，如今已轉化為臺灣首座醫療文物館。館內收藏著昔日診治烏腳病的珍貴醫療資料，還有一件件以防腐劑浸泡保存的患者殘肢，安置於基督十字架前，沉默地見證著一段人世間難以承受的痛苦與堅韌。 這一切的起點，是一位被譽為「烏腳病之父」的醫師──王金河。當年，他無懼貧困與資源匱乏，毅然將自己的診所免費開放，攜手鄰近的北門嶼診所與北門嶼教會，為罹病的鄉親們提供不僅是藥物與手術，更是精神上的撫慰與陪伴。那一段歲月，王醫師與無數無名醫護人員、教會志工，用盡生命中的每一分溫柔，撐起了患者們瀕臨絕望的天空。 隨著時代變遷，診所歇業，烏腳病的陰影也漸漸遠離。但王金河不願讓這段歷史被遺忘，他捐出老診所，在文化建設委員會的協助下，將它轉型為紀念館，讓後人得以從殘留的物事與記憶中，觸摸那段掙扎求生的歷史，感受醫者仁心的光輝。 在紀念館外，永隆溝靜靜流淌。這條水道，曾是日治時期北門運鹽的黃金航道，早年熱鬧非凡，如今則成了漁民們依賴的生計命脈。站在橋上，望著水上人家映照在波光中的倒影，彷彿仍能聽見遠方傳來的鹽船搖櫓聲，以及北門人不屈不撓的生命之歌。

(Translated by Google) This time when I traveled to Tainan, I specially came to the Taiwan Blackfoot Disease Medical Memorial Hall. Although it is not as lively as other tourist attractions, it is a very deep and warm place. Walking around will give people a deeper understanding of Taiwan's medical history and local stories. The memorial hall itself was rebuilt from the early blackfoot disease clinic. It retains the spatial configuration of the wards, clinics, pharmacies, operating rooms, etc., and also reproduces the working environment of the medical staff and the life of the patients at that time. There are many photos, newspapers, medical records and videos on display. From the arsenic pollution incident in the 1950s to how the medical team treated and accompanied the patients for a long time, the overall context is explained very clearly. The guided route is not long, but the information density is high, and the content is in-depth but not boring. Through old photos, physical restoration scenes and documentaries, you can get closer to that period of history. It is not just a simple "disease introduction", but a microcosm of land, public health, medical care and humanitarian spirit. I was particularly moved to see the doctors and nuns who were fearless of the environment, stationed in remote areas for many years, and used all their resources to take care of the patients. It is really admirable. This is not only a commemoration of blackfoot disease, but also a commemoration of the story of that generation's efforts to protect health and dignity. The overall space is simple and clean, with air conditioning and barrier-free ramps, suitable for the whole family to visit. There is also a small park and a blackfoot disease prevention and control monument outside, where you can take a break after the visit. In summary, this is a place worth knowing for every Taiwanese. It is not only a part of medical history, but also a touching Taiwanese story rooted in the land. Recommended to people who are interested in local history and social issues, and also suitable for schools, families and children to come for an educational visit. (Original) 這次到台南旅遊，特地來到台灣烏腳病醫療紀念館走一走，雖然不像一般觀光景點那麼熱鬧，但這裡卻是個非常有深度、有溫度的地方，走過一圈會讓人對台灣的醫療史與在地故事有更深的理解。 紀念館本身是由早期的烏腳病診療所改建而成，保留了當年病房、診間、藥局、手術室等空間配置，也重現了當時醫護人員的工作環境與病患生活樣貌。裡面展示了許多照片、報紙、病歷資料與影片，從1950年代的砷污染事件，到後來醫療團隊如何進行救治、長期陪伴病患，整體脈絡交代得非常清楚。 導覽路線不長，但資訊密度高，內容深入卻不會枯燥。透過老照片、實體復原場景與紀錄片，可以更貼近那段歷史，不只是單純的「疾病介紹」，而是一個關於土地、公衛、醫療與人道精神的縮影。 特別感動的是看到當年醫師與修女們無畏環境、長年駐守偏鄉、用盡資源照顧病患的精神，真的讓人敬佩。這裡不只是紀念烏腳病，更是紀念那一代人努力守護健康與尊嚴的故事。 整體空間簡單乾淨，有冷氣、設有無障礙坡道，適合全家一起來參觀。外面還有座小公園與烏腳病防治紀念碑，結束參觀後可以在那裡稍作休息。 總結來說，這是一個值得每個台灣人來了解的地方。它不只是醫療史的一部分，更是一段扎根土地、感人至深的台灣故事。推薦給對在地歷史、社會議題有興趣的人，也很適合學校、家庭親子來一趟有教育意義的參訪。

(Translated by Google) There is air conditioning. The guide enthusiastically introduced Dr. Wang Jinhe's dedication. It is admirable. A 17-minute documentary was played on site and can also be watched online. (Original) 有冷氣 導覽員熱心介紹 王金河醫師的奉獻 讓人佩服 現場有播放17分鐘的紀錄片 網路上也看得到

OK experience. Good efforts by developer to create a sunken below road level space on the previous mall lot. Could be designed into something more passionate like Paddington Reservoir in Sydney - maybe in future?

Great place to come with the kids on a hot day. Lots of families with young children playing in the water. This place is one level down from the street. I think it used to be an underground shopping street before they demolished the building above and turned it into a water park. There is shade around the sides. Also has bathrooms. It is FREE to enter. This is a great part of Tainan close to lots of streets selling drinks snacks and many restaurants.

Nice renovation of the structure of old abandoned buildings. However the ongoing construction on the lower level may suggest a future re arrangement as leasig to the vendors, to bring in more visitors. Expect to see its new look in the near future.

Good place to try banana-based snacks and visit Confucius temple

An oasis of peace in the middle of the city. You can see the columns of a building that burned some years ago. I don't know if this can be considered a memorial but there is a small exposition about the things that there were in the building before such as shops and houses. Great place for children and for reading a book!

Beautiful place to chill, good for couple, quite romantic, better visit at night with lighting

It's a little boring. Maybe it's because of the daytime; just an open space with no special features at all. I'm not sure if it will be more lively in the afternoon or evening. In addition, there is no water for children to play, so this place is not highly recommended.

This is a very nice historical street. It got a lot of historical buildings. You can see the old glorious prosperous city Xinhua once was. It is still a very busy city but the “old money” was running long and deep here. A lot of wealthy families were oriented from this area. Some are still living nearby in the city. The merchants here on the street are very different from other modern business districts. You should checkout some of them to see what made those merchants rich during those glorious days.

This is a short old street, most of the buildings were built during the Japanese rule. It may not be particularly special in the past, but it is very precious now because of uncontrolled development in Taiwan recent decades, so the local residents are exceptionally commendable because they were voluntarily retain. Old Street should not only be food and shopping, the building can tell us more about people's spiritual pursuits and work attitudes in the past.

The best place I've ever visit, complete amenities, Best way to relax, stroll, jogging, hiking and go fishing... Best for family bonding.

As a tourist attraction, there’s nothing that truly stands out. If you go early enough in the mornings you can get to drop by the popular food stalls in the market. If you’re there after 12.30pm, most of the stalls will be closed. Otherwise it’s a pretty quaint and sleepy town

A old Japanese dormitory left in Taiwan. Taiwanese preserved it and reformed inside. It becomes a good place to be chill and relaxed.

Good food options and historical preservation is impressive for the whole street and a generally interesting snd convenient spot to go alone or in a small group, with a bus station nearby making it easy to transit to from tainan city, avoid peak times

As if I went back in time. Well preserved buildings with lots of snacks.

nice, beautiful views, quite strategic place and suitable for daydreaming

Nice view

Amazing view.

Amusement park strolling around the scenery around the lake is very relaxing, relaxing ..... the scenery is very beautiful❤

Always miss this place. Beautiful place. Now i just can see in google maps. 😢

Not big park but can have leisure time with family

Great place for relaxation and having a picnic..!

The guided tour offers an engaging and insightful way to understand this architectural wonder that represents the richness of local history and design marvel. A lot of walking required (going down the stairs) though, may not be suitable for everyone.

Very boring place. Upper floors are just seating areas, and the skygarden has some half dead plants. 200 a person tho you can use it at the cafe. AC was nice but that was the highlight. Probably will not come again

What an architectural marvel! This building is built around a nested set of staircases that represents the architects feeling as he strolls through the streets of Tainan. Some of these stairs leads to nowhere, some of them dead end, some of them require you to climb through holes, etc. The way he play with lights and spaces is pretty amazing! If your architectural buff, you definitely don't want to miss this. Moreover, you can enjoy delicious desserts on the other half of the building. You can choose to sit indoor, semi outdoor, or surround yourself with greenery while enjoying ice cream. It's not a very popular or a well-known place, but it's rather unique and should not be missed.

Beautiful picturesque interior from every angle. Came in to get out of the sun and put my feet up over a nice cup of Joe. Take your time to take in the sights of all 5 floors, their leafy al fresco roof garden and of course their gift shop. Lovely spot.

We enjoyed the short guided tour about the building and the gelato in the cafe. On our visit, we had discount for our entry tickets and coupons for our food in the cafe. Thus pricing was reasonable.

Lots of space in the building so thankfully it didn’t feel crowded at all even though there were a lot of customers waiting right at opening time (on a weekday). The girl at the ticket desk was a little rude and the food wasn’t good but it’s fine if you just want a place to hang out. You’ll have to pay a fee to enter, though, so keep that in mind!

A fancy ice cream shop hidden in the alley, I think the building overall is cool, and the interior is comfy. Somehow the ice cream just ruined the place, it was not tasty and I need to carry it to a different floor while my ice cream was abt to melt. Maybe provide different product might fit better in the space, also I would recommend ppl to come during the weekdays before closing.

The place is beautiful and clean. It is not that big but it has 5 buildings that you can roam around and learn some history stuff. Good place for kids and adults as well.

The fossil museum started from a school 🏫 which had field trips to collect fossils near the water. I think it grew to be a fine establishment. There's various buildings to walk through but wheel-chair friendly. They have some creative exhibits and interactive learning or just plain fun artsy stuff. But the descriptions could be better. The other thing is the docents or rather, just museum employees don't help the kids who can't figure out the exhibits. Another one was talking loudly on her phone. Overall, it's great but not necessarily a must-see unless you have kids or are a kid.

Very recommended place, especially with children. No surprise, it's about fossils and dinosaurs, but there are many sides things to be discovered. It's not big or largely abundant, but it's carefully designed to enhanced what is on display and proposes a good guidance for the visit. It's also recent, so there is the clean and modern style of today's architecture, but also with many multimedia experiences. It's 100 TWD for adults, 50 for children or seniors. It's recommended to book online for a slight discount. Parking is not convinient if you want to find a free parking (you have to park at least 5 min walk away) but there is plenty of private parking.

The museum is spacious and thoughtfully designed to guide you from ancient times to the era of modern humans. You can explore fascinating fossils and animal models, read interesting facts, and appreciate the stylish interior and architecture.

Great Museum for Fossil. Especially if you have children. The entire experience is incredibly well-planned. The exhibits are laid out in a logical and easy-to-follow manner, guiding you through a fascinating journey from the ancient past to modern times. What makes it so special is how interactive and engaging everything is. The displays are not just static fossils behind glass; they're designed to be a truly educational and hands-on experience that captivates both kids and adults.

A place where you can learn about the history of ZuoZhen and the discovery of the fossils here. Very interesting museum where you can learn a lot of about the species existed on Earth a long time ago. The last part of the museum explains why Wooly Mammoth and Rhino (which evolves into today's Elephant and Rhino , once were distributed vastly on Earth now are facing extinction.

The place is next to or in the same primary school compound. NTD100 for adults below 65yo NTD50 for 65yo or above. Very informative visit. The exhibits are very well displayed.

Surrendered by the residential buildings, it is a popular place for local people to walk around, with unique plants and walking path. You can also see farm land (growing leaves belong to the mint family) at least for now. Very relaxing place!

A thin and long park beside Zhonghua East Road is set in remembrance to Dr. Barclay who preached in Tainan and ever saved the citizen. A stone tablet and monument can be seen inside where the story is inscribed. The public park is open and wide, with pond and paths in trees, a nice place to walk! One can come here to know more about the history of the Christian's merit and about the city. It is also a good outdoor place to spend a leisure time walking around.

Special park after entering a forest liked path. Everybody should take a try.

A relaxing place where you can immerse yourself with trees, pond, grassland, animals, and nature. Good for taking a stroll, having picnics, playing sports, and more. Love the park!

Very good park in the city of Tainan with nice greenery.

A nice place for jogging 🏃‍♀️

very beautiful and a rlly touching memorial for a person's story, Jesus loves you <3

City oasis of West District Tainan. Very peaceful and not many people. Calming fish pond and turtles. Gum tree blends in well in the garden. This garden is clean and well maintained.

Nice place for relaxing with a tiny pond Taiwaneses teenagers are there for rehearsals dancing performance

Peaceful place for resting and relaxing. But it's quite small. If you want an experience, it's not your choice

so beautiful and well organized Chinese style garden established more than 170 years. Public citizens hall is also huge built in early 20th century.

Beautiful old building in Tainan.And there’s a awesome traditional Taiwanese garden. Than you could make Taiwanese tea in the traditional tea house. I enjoyed the atmosphere here😊

This place is super cool. Quiet, not a lot of people, clean. Many trees and a nice pond. There's also a bathroom. Amazing beans.

Nice little cozy garden for a relaxing moment. It ain't very big, but a nice little place in the middle of the city. The museum part is only open Wed-Sun.

fantastic & amazing show here. family friendly, friends friendly and all friendly. great place.

We went there when it was Chinese New Year and they had some shows, including the horse riding show. And the whole farm is so very big! They have boat riding too! You can also go to the hanging bridge if you're too adventurous 😁

The only activity that we really enjoyed was the Ukrainian circus performance. Think it was quite sad that there were only 5 of us in the audience. Wished more people could appreciate their performances. The park on the whole wasn’t well maintained, paint was peeling and everything looked old. Wasn’t much to do.

I spent five hours here with a group. I would not visit again. I know paint fades quickly in Taiwan, but it really made this place look very old and not well-cared for. If you have kids, they will probably enjoy some of the activities like the bumper boats and playground. However, there is very little seating around the park for adults. The restaurant is ok; food and flavors tasted alright. I My main problem with this place though is their treatment of their animals. I came across some horses tethered near the horse arena. Their heads were just hanging there as the chain/rope was too short for them to graze, and no water was provided. The little pony was in direct sunlight without the ability to move into shade. They seemed listless. Later, I watched the horse show. The tricks were performed well. But, the horses all seemed unhappy and stressed. Some appeared ungroomed, one of their coats was uneven. One appeared a bit too thin. I didn’t see the other animals at this farm, but I hope that they are faring better. I hope the farm improves their treatment of the horses. The other show I saw was the acrobatics show in the amphitheater; they did a good job! And they’re the only reason I’m giving this place two stars instead of one.

Had so much fun here! There is a 2023 New year event going on while I’m visiting. Lots of stage performance, free tent rental and great foods to enjoy while bathing under the sun. I will defiantly come back for the event 😍

I visited here for a workshop.. unfortunately it was in the middle of a typhoon and the weather was not pleasant for any outdoors activity. Despite that, we were able to walk around a little and admire the landscape. If not for the storm clouds, we would've been able to see the stars shine through. The path around the farm was quaint, intimate, and peaceful especially when there was finally a gap in the storm. At night, the frogs chirped almost too loudly, like a personal chorus for our walk. It was late August when we arrived so imagine our surprise when we saw a single pair of fireflies in the distance. The roads were littered with debris from the storm and we had to be careful to watch our steps. The puddles reflected the street lights and when we crossed over them, the insects buzzed around our heads incessantly. The rain started again after we wandered back through the empty roads, and twisting paths. It was a little hard to see since the lights turned off around 11. If only the wind blew a little stronger and swept the dark clouds away. The bittersweetness of the experience lingers and I hope to return one day when the stormy atmosphere changes for us.

Beautiful and vast grassy fields are the only main attraction to this amusement farm. Plenty of hotel and cabin rooms as well. Popular for banquet, conference or company gatherings. Plenty of underwhelming and run down activities to be unimpressed by.

Beautiful and nice place to walk around in the evening. But it’s a little far away from downtown. Suggest driving or riding a scooter.

The paintings are great but some walls are rather challenging for photos. There isn't enough space to take them; one has to take them at an angle.

Nice quiet village with friendly people. Love the artwork. Kevin is also very friendly! Great place to visit and have a cup of tea

The artworks are of high quality and well-maintained. The place is a quiet village so you may want to keep your voice down to avoid disturbing the villagers. The artworks are close to one another, but can be tricky to find. So keep your eyes open and look in various corners. The public transport in Tainan is next to non-existent. So getting a chartered car is in your favour. Planning the trip to all the outskirts area and getting a car is the most efficient way that we can think of. We did not plan for this destination at all... so we haphazardly got on the HSR from Kaoshiung to Tainan and took a cab there (~1300 NTD for a return trip to the HSR station). The next day, we were smarter and booked the cab the whole day for ~1800 NTD for 6hrs.

A colorful small village painted by Kevin ! Lovely!!

Worth a visit to see all these beautiful wall paintings.

Nice paintings!! Good job Kevin

Open grassy space surrounded by wide Banyan trees and historic buildings; full of parents and kids on weekends Picnic blanket highly recommend to not get bit while sitting

It is biggest tree located at Cheng Kung national university. It's over 100 years old. The symbol of NCKU and where everybody want to visit and take a photto. The student can learn or play sport under tree. It help the air fresh and who worry about sunlight.

I'll just pay myself, banyan garden is nice for family to come for a weekend chill out picnic

Great banyan tree ever. The shape and the atmosphere around it in the campus makes it a living legend.

A very beautiful and peaceful place, the best place to rest between two classes or to make homework…

What a wonderful view. If your kids come here, they will have a good time

Come here during cloudy days, but the view is good.

Have a small man-made beach sand area, good for kids, and a pond. Other than that, nothing much to see or do.

Nice view

This place was unfortunately closed with new opening date not provided. It was a surprise to figure out that it was closed as it was a lovely attraction with different colour.samds according to your star sign.

Good and comfortable place to spend time with your family, lots of colourful salt which represent your Birthday and characteristic. Beautiful souvenir to be bought, too.

You will get to see 366 Different Colored Salt here. Each corresponding to a date in the year. Look for your birthdate and get either a Birthday salt Stamp for 180TWD or an Ornament with a small bottle of bday salt for 150TWD.

One of a kind salt 'museum' whivh is more like a gift shop seling 365 colours of salt name after each day of the 365 days in a year. Bought my designated day colour salt - interesting!

there is nothing from his name in this place

We went to the park for the lantern show. The park is big with a river or waterway. We strolled on the banks and looked at the many light installations which are very attractive especially with the reflection on the water. The trees are lit up with lights of different colors. With many people enjoying the lights and food from the many food stalls along the water and in the Old Street, the atmosphere is festive. We took the Brown Line bus back to Sin Ying train station. The bus we aimed at were not running and we waited for 45 minutes at the bus stop.

The lanterne is nice from 18h30 in night time, show of water at 19h30, old house, many street food, and street performers at night ! don't need come before, you will be tired when the night come.

I went there during 2019 lantern festival, the riverside is amazingly decorated. The river is well-preserved, with no odor. The riverside park is at the outskirts of the district. It takes about 20min driving from Xinying station.

Take a walk on the lakeside trail in your hometown, a very beautiful place, the breeze is slowly comfortable!

My fiancé and I were a day too early for the lantern festival when we came, but the magic of this place was still very much there. Thanks to the organizers who had lit up a few small floats to share what's yet to come, It does get a bit crowded in some areas but that's alright since it gives everyone a chance to take it all in.

Nice park with cool art installations; great walk and relaxing

The Yuejin Lantern Festival is well worth a visit！
