Tainan

Tainan is Taiwan's oldest city and was the country's capital during the Qing dynasty. This old town has now been transformed into a hipster enclave with a multitude of food options that you can stuff your face with!

Take a look at an abandoned sugar refinery that is now the Ten Drum Cultural Village! Queue early for the best seats at the Taiko Drumming show and take a tour of the sugar mill afterwards. Retrace Tainan's history as a Dutch colony by visiting Fort Provintia and Fort Zeelandia or visit one of the city's oldest temples – Confucian Temple.

[KLOOK Exclusive] Tainan Shan-Shang Garden and Old Waterworks Museum Admission Ticket
A new attraction that is very worth visiting. It will only open to the public in 2019. The park sells limited souvenirs of Tainan’s historic sites, as well as a food market. It occupies a large grassland and is a good place for picnics. In addition, there are also many installation art and The cute little puppet beach, the guides carefully explain clearly and easily, so that you can understand the great project of this century faster! Big push!

Chihkan Tower Admission Ticket in Tainan
This time I went to Tainan during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I found the ticket voucher from klook, found the Chihkan Tower ticket, bought it right away, and soon received the QR Code, and you can enter the park immediately by scanning it. It is very convenient and avoids the pain of queuing in the hot world. It is highly recommended for everyone.

ShueiJiaoShe Cultural Park Admission Ticket
Tickets for new attractions in Tainan are only 100. It is cheaper to use Klook than on-site. It occupies a very large plaza. There are 4-5 exhibitions. You can understand the origin of the water trade agency. There are small hand-made street vendors and live singing activities. The whole feeling is 100 points

Rilakkuma Cha-Ya in Tainan
It is very suitable for bringing children to dine here, the waiters are very kind. The interior design style of the store is the favorite of the children. I will go there again next time in Tainan, but the only drawback is that the meals cannot be matched randomly. The children’s favorites are different, which is a little troublesome.

【Limited Offer - 46% off For Weekdays 】Gogoro Scooter Rental in Tainan by GX Travel
The service elder brother gave a very detailed introduction. When returning the car, he watched our two girls with big bags and small bags. He took the initiative to call us a car to the station. It was really considerate and gave me a wonderful journey memory. I will come to Tainan in the future. Will definitely come to visit again and introduce my friends👍👍

Tainan Art Museum Admission Ticket
Tainan Fine Arts Hall 1-2 has its own characteristics. Hall 1 combines ancient architecture and old trees with a unique flavor; Hall 2 was designed by Japanese architects. The transparent roof allows the sun to slowly scatter, and the appearance is unique, which makes people linger and linger everywhere. All are photo spots!!
