Tainan, Taiwan: 5-Day Itinerary for Your Best Trip

Tainan, Taiwan's oldest city and culinary capital, blends historic alleys with modern art spaces. Discover the top 5 must-see spots for an unforgettable trip.


1. Anping Old Fort (Fort Zeelandia): Where Taiwan's History Began

Built by the Dutch in the 17th century, this is Taiwan's first Western-style fortress. From the red brick walls and observation deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Anping area and the coastline. Walking along the ramparts, you can feel Taiwan's eventful history. Don't forget to try local snacks at the nearby Anping Old Street.


2. Chimei Museum: A Little Slice of Europe in Tainan

Stepping into the museum feels like entering a European palace. The dazzling white architecture, Apollo Fountain, and the bridge guarded by the 12 Olympian Gods make it Tainan's best photo spot. As Asia's largest private museum, it boasts an extensive collection of Western paintings, sculptures, and rare musical instruments. The surrounding park is perfect for a picnic.


3. Shennong Street: Step Back in Time

Once the center of trade during the Qing Dynasty, this is now Tainan's most atmospheric street. Old two-story wooden buildings have been transformed into cafes, studios, and galleries, creating a unique blend of past and present. It's beautiful during the day, but the dreamy atmosphere peaks at night when the lanterns are lit.


4. Blueprint Culture & Creative Park: A Haven for Young Artists

This complex cultural space is housed in a remodeled former prison dormitory. The iconic blue 3D mural at the entrance is a must-see. With unique handicraft shops and trendy graffiti, it's a must-visit for travelers looking to capture Instagram-worthy shots. Its central location makes it easily accessible.


5. Sicao Green Tunnel: Taiwan's Mini Amazon

Enjoy an exotic boat tour through a mangrove forest that forms a green tunnel over the water. The reflections of the trees on the calm surface create a mysterious atmosphere. It's a healing spot where you can discover another side of Tainan in the tranquility of nature.
