The area
Neighborhood: Zengwun District
This district is the heart of the fertile part of Jianan Plain. The land is nourished and irrigated with water from Wushantou Reservoir, which is in the shape of a beautiful coral reef. Upon arrival at the reservoir, this masterpiece by the technician, Hatta Yoichi, comes into sight. Furthermore, since the ecology in the headwaters is well conserved, Guantian in the same area has become a breeding place for jacanas (tropical waders). People can easily catch sight of them fluttering around the fields of water caltrops.
Madou is where the old-time Daofong Inner Sea (Lagoon) used to be, so traces of the down-to-earth old street and the port and quay can be found in the town. Daofong Lagoon Museum which resembles the Leaning Tower of Pisa catches people’s eyes, and the artistic atmosphere suffusing Tsung-yeh Artist Village in which the museum is located and the history of the town complements each other. The savoury rice pudding, a street food inside the markets, is definitely a must-eat for visitors discovering Madou.
As for Siaying, its downtown area centres on a Dark Deity (a.k.a. Mysterious Heavenly Highest Deity) Temple. There are worshippers all year round. Next to the temple is a local destination famous for its village paintings, which combines Taoist temple culture and modern animation characters. The island-wide tea-smoked geese are the best souvenir for your family and friends.

We had a beautiful drive up the mountain to this small reserve. The locals were so kind and helped us find our way as this location was hard to find on Google maps. There are signs to follow though. We went on a weekday so it was not as crowded so the caretaker/owner who spoke good English was very patient and answered all of our questions. The monkeys were friendly and patient. They can be mischievous if you are not paying attention. I loved this place it was a great experience!

A great place to see the macaques in Tainan that are roaming around freely. Buy some bananas or vendors nearby to feed the macaques. If you walk up a little bit you may also see some of the cute baby macaques. Do be careful as you approach them with food as they tend to grab them. You will need to drive up here either by car or scooter since there is not public transportation.
