I made a point of visiting at night when lanterns are lit. Enhances your photos to magical level. The street is not all that long and it hosts many shops with unique handicrafts etc. Well worth a visit.

The street is much shorter than the many photos would have you believe. But if you are in Tainan, this picturesque street is worth a visit, it also has a cat cafe. We visited the street during the day. Next time I would visit in the evening as it is busier and the street looks even more beautiful with the lights and lamps.

Shennong Street is actually a narrow alley at the heart of Tainan. Part of it inside a wet market, the street is part of a revamped area that was the city's prime retail space. A stroll along the distinctive passageway is fun. Unfortunately not much information is available on site and many of the shops are closed.

Shennong Street is always a pleasure to see. The architecture and shops have character, it's easy to get to, and you can spend a bit of time browsing through the stores. There aren't a whole lot of shops, though, and when we went, it was pretty empty.

An well preserved "old street" worth a look on a visit to Tainan. Not a lot fo shops but there are some selling souvenirs and other bric-a-brac. Watch for motorbikes that road trhough from time to time!

This place should be called Lantern street for all the paper lanterns that hang at doorways and the narrow street. It’s a very photogenic place. If all you want is photos, then the best time to visit is at night when the lanterns are lit up against the night, otherwise it’s mainly souvenir shops on the street. For food, it’s best to go to the streets surrounding Shennong.
