Top 11 Must-Visit Tourist Attractions in Tainan! Fisherman's Wharf, Four Grass Green Tunnel, Chi Mei Museum, and Ten Drum Performing Arts Center.

Tainan is not only a gathering place for food, but also a good place with rich historical sites and coastal scenery. It can satisfy your check-in needs and pursuit of excitement! Let's take a look at these 11 must-visit attractions in Tainan!

This is an independent island that can only be reached by crossing a bridge. The unobstructed sunset view has made it a popular tourist spot. Although Fishermen's Island belongs to the commercial port water area, visitors are not allowed to swim or go for a swim. However, enjoying the beautiful scenery and strolling along the shore is very pleasant. If you want to experience SUP or windsurfing, it is recommended to find a professional studio.

Besides the sunset, the forest after rain is another highlight, with the water reflecting the scenery like a fairyland. Many people also come here to take wedding photos because it's so romantic! In recent years, there have also been luxury camping areas nearby. After enjoying the beautiful scenery with your companions, you can also have a barbecue and stay in themed tents!

It's hard to imagine such a beautiful scene actually existing in reality. This is a place where you can take a bamboo raft tour, admiring the mangrove ecosystem along the way. You can also see fiddler crabs and mudskippers on the shore. It's a very lively place. There will be a guide on the bamboo raft who introduces the background story in a vivid way and reminds everyone when they reach the best photo spots. However, this trip isn't short, so it's recommended to apply sunscreen!

Hailed as the "Most Beautiful Visitor Center," this is Taiwan's only visitor service center floating on the river. The white-dominated architecture with a light blue roof blends perfectly with the water, complemented by aquatic installations, making it a popular photography spot in recent years. Several walls are even composed of oyster shells, symbolizing the local oyster farming industry!

Anping Fort, also known as the Dutch Fortress Zeelandia, is an important historical site in Tainan. It retains a complete set of ancient castle buildings. The park has a historical relic exhibition area and a watchtower that offers panoramic views. Although obvious war signs, such as cannon holes, are still visible on the ancient architecture, there isn't a strong battlefield atmosphere. Instead, it emphasizes the beauty of the historical building itself. Nearby, you can also visit the bustling Anping Old Street and creative shops. A recommendation is to try the popular dessert at Zhou Ji Dou Hua Store!

This work, rich in imagery, is located in the Port Harbor History Park. Its playful and cute design has made it a popular photo spot. However, besides simply taking pictures of its exterior, you can also appreciate it from three perspectives: 1. Stand beneath the sculpture and look up at the Taiwan formed by colorful glass. 2. Enter the upper half of the whale and look down at the Taiwan shape. 3. Look out from the upper half and observe the people around you. How would you interpret this work?

Before being known as He Le Plaza, this area was formerly Chinatown. Later, under the design of a Dutch architectural team, it was transformed with the concept of an urban lagoon. Combining ecological landscapes and a circulating water system, it has now become the largest waterfront space in Tainan City. Visitors can choose to enter the pool barefoot or wearing wading shoes. Each time of day – morning, sunset, or night – offers a unique beauty. Coupled with the laughter and playful sounds of children, it's truly a relaxing experience.

When you come to Tainan, you absolutely can't miss Guohua Street! There are many unique food stalls here, ranging from local delicacies to international flavors. I highly recommend these must-try shops: Lin Family White Sugar Cake, Achuan Traditional Pearl Shaved Ice, Uncle's Charcoal Grilled Black Pudding and Sweet Potato Cakes, Aizicheng Shrimp Fried Rice, and the whimsical treats at Curl Tail Dessert. If you can't finish everything, you can also take some back to your hotel for a midnight snack!

This museum is themed around Greek mythology stories. The entire park area is perfect for taking photos, with a central pond embellishing the green landscape. You could easily spend a good amount of time just exploring the outdoors; inside the museum there are several permanent exhibition halls, including the Sculpture Avenue, Music Instrument Hall, Animal Hall, and Weapon Hall. The special exhibition hall focuses on international exhibitions. Whether you're an adult or child, it is highly recommended to visit here and browse exhibitions that interest you for a different level of artistic interaction.

Tainan's Golden Coast boasts a nearly 5-kilometer long sandy beach. Many people come here to stroll, surf, or fly kites, especially during sunset when the sea is bathed in golden light. Besides enjoying the ocean views, don't forget to check in and take photos at the Golden Coast Ark! If you have time, stay until night for a different kind of beauty on the moonlight beach. It's perfect for romantic dates or gatherings with friends, and it's always bustling with people.

Shigu Culture and Creative Park was transformed from an old sugar factory. Today, it integrates Taiwanese characteristic percussion music and various amusement facilities, becoming one of the most popular attractions. Friends who like exciting facilities should not miss it, as there are large slides, swings, and free fall rides here, with heights that are no joke! Be sure to mentally prepare yourself before boarding!

But here the must-see is definitely the drum and music feast. You can feel up close the stunning and exciting performance. After watching, I recommend going to the newly opened Magic Factory, an indoor space with a magical theme that's super eye-catching, and you can also experience super fun laser tag!

Finally, I recommend you try Tainan's must-eat delicacy: beef soup. Tainan has many beef soup shops, each with its own unique characteristics. This time, I highly recommend Ah Yu, a popular queuing store. Foodies can choose their preferred cuts of hot pot beef and add other hot pot ingredients or vegetables. The store offers complimentary braised pork rice for customers to take, but it's in the Tainan style, so it's a bit sweeter. "Hot pot beef" refers to beef that hasn't been chilled, retaining its original freshness and tenderness. As a result, the price is slightly higher, but it's definitely worth it!

Traveling to Tainan by car or hiring a driver is more recommended, otherwise you need to calculate the bus schedule precisely so as not to miss it and have to wait another hour for the next one. Besides, some popular attractions cannot be reached directly by public transportation. A private tour can choose routes recommended by the driver or go directly to your desired destinations, with high freedom!

Hey? Why are there no night market recommendations? That's because Tainan's night markets are too amazing, we've compiled a complete article just for you! Come and see which must-visit markets and stalls you shouldn't miss!
