Visiting Tainan City and Tainan Country? If you have some time to explore, there are quite a few interesting things for you to see. Following is a list of suggested things to do with an outline for a visit itinerary.
A word of caution before I begin – while there’s alot to do I would say Tainan is not for everyone and not your typical world-class tourist destination. I remember an American professor who summarized his Tainan City visit saying "they took me to the best Tainan City historic attractions and it took exactly 10 minutes for me to go through the whole thing". But, if you’re passionate about Taiwan’s history and local temple culture – then you’ll enjoy Tainan alot, as I have.

Nice post
I love travel tourism
Taiwan have a beautiful and admiring environment. No doubt a lot of people want's to go in this place but as always they will prefer for a great travel deal so that they can come to that country. Those tourist attraction is one of the target to be seen by most of the people that who really love to go in Taiwan. I've been there last year and I go to Tainan, I love what I see everywhere in that city. Really wonderful and amazing.
Pics looks too good, would love to visit the country..
this place reminds me of siemreap last week i went there with my friends and we had so much fun. and i think that when we go here in Tainan we would experience the fun we had in siemreap.
From your article I’ve come to understand that Taiwan is for those who love the nature and the sparkles of an unbelievable culture. What is the time of the year that will make the best of it? I understood from a friend that it’s not indicated to visit this country in September or October. He told there some kind of big celebrations and that all that rumour and throng of people spoiled his vacation.
Johanna Brooke – it’s best to keep track of “Love Tainan (http://www.itainan.org) and the Tainan Bulletin to see when the local holidays are. Crowdy in Taiwan, IMHO, is just another way of saying “fun”. Crowded is great, it means there’s more action.
When are the local Daoist holidays? Isn’t then a little too crowdy?
