The area
Address
Neighborhood: West Central District/ North District
The West Central District is the most populous and the busiest area. A lot of shops and hotels crowd the district, and the long-standing history results in a variety of street food. In addition to that, this district also has the highest number of temples. This is how it got the name “Tainan’s Pantheon.” Historic buildings are literally ubiquitous. For example, Hayashi Department Store, National Museum of Taiwan 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.

This is a commercial street which is essentially a shopping are where you can find fashion, mobile paraphernalia, hats, shoes, food, etc. very busy here. Kind of of the famous Taiwan night markets but opened during daytime. What is really interesting here is that the shop open into vehicular streets. It’s so amazing that pedestrians and cars can get along so well!

There are many fantastic restaurants in this street.
However, there are low diversity of this street.
It doesn't provide any shopping place for tourist.

I read about this street on several websites about all the street food, but I didn't see as much as I imagined. I didn't see anything that would really appeal to me, but I did stop at a place called Yongleshichang 永樂市場。 It was almost a Japanese style restaurant with miso soup, salad, and a beef rice bowl. It was pretty good and cheap.

It is a shopping street in Tainan. There are many shops and eateries for snacks, and the street is always crowded. If you want to see the life of local people, this is a right place to go.

In Tainan's West Central District, Guohua Street is a must-visit place if you like inexpensive, diverse street food. From Chenggong Street on the north to Fuqian Street on the south, this long street is filled with food stalls and small, inexpensive restaurants. We visited twice during our stay in Tainan and were amazed at the quality and diversity of food available. Most of the things we ate were $NTD30-50, and we grazed as we walked up and down the street. Highlights included incredible wonton dumplings, fried sweet potato fritters, beef soup, and milk tea galore!
We enjoyed it more than the well known Garden Night Market, which had more of a State Fair fried-food quality to it. And, mixed in with all the food are innumerable little stores. Great place to spend an afternoon or evening!
