Itinerary
Stop 1
Originally a warehouse for the Tait & Co. Merchant House during the 19th century, this site was abandoned for decades, allowing giant banyan trees to take over the structure. Today, it is a stunning example of nature reclaiming industrial architecture. The aerial walkways allow visitors to stroll through the massive roots and thick foliage that have literally become the walls and roof of the building. It offers a mysterious, mystical atmosphere that is a favorite for photographers and nature lovers.
Stop 2
Fort Zeelandia was a fortress built over ten years from 1624 to 1634 by the Dutch East India Company, in the town of Anping on Formosa, the former name of central island of Taiwan, during their 38-year rule over the western part of the island.
Stop 3
Originally a Dutch fortress built in 1653, this landmark now features elegant Chinese pavilions atop ancient foundations. It is a symbol of Tainan, famous for its historic statues and beautiful twilight views
Stop 4
Built in 1666, this is the oldest Confucius Temple in Taiwan. Known as "The First Academy," its serene red-walled grounds offer a peaceful look into ancient Confucian traditions and classic Ming-style architecture
Stop 5
Tainan’s best-preserved historical street. Once a bustling trade hub, it is now a charming alley filled with art studios, cafes, and lanterns. It is especially magical at night and perfect for photography
