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.
Tainan City – Local Attractions
Walking tour – Tainan Park, Chikan Towers, Matsu and Official God of War temple
Walking tour – Southern Gate, Wufei Temple, Koxinga Cheng Gong Shrine, Chikan Towers (more about Koxinga Shrine)
Anping
- Eternal Golden Castle, Old Merchant’s House, Tree House.
- Dutch Fort Zeelnadia, Golden Beach, Anping beach, weekend market

Tainan City Temple celebrations
If you’re into temple celebrations, Tainan’s definitely a crazy place during the summer. Try to visit around the local Daoist holidays, you won’t believe your eyes.

Personalized Travel
Personalized travel also called as customized travel enables us to plan our trip according to our budget and places of interest. By tailoring your trip you can choose the duration of time and how many days you want to spend in a particular city or place. It is not necessary for the fixed tour packages to visit all the places you wish to see; you can do it by planning your own trip. In a personalized trip, you can have everything of your choice including everything from lodging to eating. You do not need to wait for the particular season according to the fixed packages rather you can plan your trip as per your convenience. No restrictions and no limitations, this is what personalized travel is all about.

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.

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.

When are the local Daoist holidays? Isn’t then a little too crowdy?
Fili | August 24th, 2010 at 1:27 am #
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.
