What kind of travel destination do you remember Tainan as? Many people associate Tainan with a historic city or a culinary capital. But did you know that Tainan actually boasts a wealth of outdoor attractions, hidden gems, photo-taking spots, and fun activities? Experts have compiled this Tainan attraction guide to help you bid farewell to your usual Tainan memories and discover "Taiwan's premier capital" with a new perspective.
A visit to Tainan is impossible without mentioning Anping Fort, its most iconic attraction. Its mottled red brick walls tell the story of Anping's century-long evolution, and its towering, pure white observation tower has become a must-photograph landmark for travelers. However, the current Anping Fort was rebuilt after World War II. Of the true, nearly 400-year-old Anping Fort, only the brick walls of the outer south city wall remain.
Erliao is known as one of Taiwan's three best sunrise viewing spots. When the morning sun shines on the mist-shrouded Badlands mountains, the scene is like a splash of ink on a landscape painting. Although Erliao is just over an hour from downtown Tainan, the rugged mountain roads make it easy for unfamiliar travelers to get lost and miss the beautiful Erliao sunrise. Fun Bar experts have curated Erliao sunrise itineraries that not only help travelers with transportation, but also allow everyone to easily enjoy the stunning sunrise.
Guanziling boasts not only the wonder of water and fire coming together, but also one of the world's three largest mud hot springs. But beyond that, you'll also find the mountainous area rich in limestone, making it an ideal natural rock climbing spot. Climbing here not only offers tranquility amidst the forested mountains, but also panoramic views of the Jianan Plain. Afterward, you can even enjoy a hot spring bath!
This hidden castle, formerly known as the Tainan Waterway, was a vital facility providing clean tap water to Tainan City during the Japanese colonial period and is Taiwan's earliest water supply system. The large expanse of grass and the upright water plant vents on the castle make for a great photo opportunity. But don't assume its designation as a historic site means it's abandoned and unused. It was used continuously from the Japanese colonial period to the postwar period, and it still supplies water today.
In Tainan's century-old capital, there's nothing quite like making your own pair of floral shoes. From choosing your favorite fabric pattern to cutting and piecing the pieces together, you'll experience a truly retro travel experience in the ancient capital.
"Jingzijiao Tile-Paved Salt Fields" is the first salt field in Tainan's Beimen District and the oldest surviving tile-paved salt field site. The fields are entirely tiled, creating a beautiful mosaic-like artwork. The pyramid-shaped salt piles gleam in the sun. Visitors can roll up their trouser legs and step into the salt fields to experience raking salt. There's even a dragon-bone waterwheel nearby for a taste of the process.
