This is a beautiful temple with intricate designs. However you will probably finish seeing this in 10 minutes. This is best combined with the Anping Fort.
great place to go on a sunny day! fully air conditioned. there's a salt spa in the museum. tell you the story how salt originates got to try the salted soya bean curd & ice cream!
Small souvenir shop selling local delicacies using milk fish on the ground floor. Tested and love the taste of the fish rolls so I have bought a few boxes and few canned fish. On the 1st floor is more like an information center on the introduction of milk fish but all in Chinese.
The oldest street in Taiwan has a vibrant day market selling food and souvenirs. I am not certain if this is a delicacy of the region but every few steps we were offered free samples of shrimp crackers. Far more interesting are the decorative walls in the Anping back streets. One is fanciful as if a street for kindergarten children with emphasis on cat decoration. Apologies for not having lane numbers but if you just wander around you will come across some fun/interesting areas. Near Taiwan Street is Haishan Hall built shortly after Qing Dynasty took over Taiwan. It was used to house Qing naval officers coming from Haishan District of Fujian Province - thus it's name. It was later purchased as a private residence and in 1975 Tainan city purchased the property giving it a monument status. My immediate reaction upon entering the courtyard was that it was a bland structure but there is some wonderful stuff to see, Look up at the tile roof and wander on the porch of the main building. I cannot remember where I picked up a brochure that provides history and details of decoration like the Sword Lions that ward off evil.
