Literature, Confucius Temple, Chihkan Tower (formerly
Fort Provintia), Sacrificial Rites Martial Temple,
Tainan Grand Mazu (name of a goddess) Temple, etc.
Recently, the tourism in Tainan has laid emphasis on
alleys and lanes. Examples include Fujhong Street
specialising in creative handicrafts, as-you-stroll
desserts on Jhengsing Street, Shennong Street lined
with hundred-year-old ancient houses, Sinyi Street on
which the old city gate stands, Sinmei Street where
old and new cultures fuse together, and Guohua Street
and Baoan Raod famous for all the savoury food. All
the traditional and delicious food and flavours are
about to burst in your mouth.
The North District, on
the other hand, is a quiet secret hideaway. Lane 321
on Gongyuan Road used to be a Japanese soldiers’
dormitory. Now a few artists have set up their studios
here. There are diversified art styles in each old
Japanese-style house. The Garden Night Market on Haian
Road is one of the famous night markets in both Tainan
and Taiwan, and was the top 12 Facebook check-in
location worldwide in 2013.
