    The fact that there is no English website and no English information about it is actually part of the appeal of this little seed garden/museum somewhere behind Cheng Kung University. So when I asked the hotel staff to call the place, and they haven’t forget to mention that there wouldn’t be any English guide, I knew it was my place. It’s only the endless flow of Chinese characters and the seeds everywhere in jars, above your head, in the plants themselves, or on a table waiting for being dried. If you are in a hurry, you can actually finish in 15 minutes and 10 Instagram pics, but you could just as well spend a whole day here and immerse yourself with the ultimate incomprehensibility of life on this planet. Before leaving, I was going to buy some flowers that looked like herbs, so I asked the young man in the cashier: “Tea?” He looked at me with that pitying face (teas are leaves, my dear, not flowers!), but then he just simply responded: “Eh, tea [whatever].” Thank you for this wonderful experience! I will either learn more about seeds or Chinese until next time.

    Tainan Park is a public space with a traditional concept. Equipped with several pavilions, footpaths, curved bridges and lily ponds scattered in the park area.

    The pavilion and the bridge that runs along the river is an icon of Tainan Park. The park, which is also called Zhongshan Park, is filled with big old trees, so it feels like walking in the middle of a forest.

    In the morning or evening many local residents, foreign workers and tourists spending time there.Some visitors also use the park as a social gathering.

    The location is close to Tainan Station but it will be a long walk to get to Tainan Park. It's better to rent a bicycle and ride to the park to enjoy your free time in Tainan.

    Tours of this building are worth doing. Lots of very interesting displays inside about the state of the world's environment (mostly relating to buildings of course) and how the building has been architecturally green designed. The incredible thing is that this building does not cost more than a conventional building and it's running costs are lower.

    My girlfriend and I spent 3 hours here, although most people would probably spend an hour.

    The entrance gate is quite impressive and different from most in Taiwan but once you go inside, there isn't anything to really see.

    A hidden paradise behind the old walls, a good place for a time travel walk.
    You get to experience the local cultural scene in this creative secret spot, you can see the old houses, cultural shops, and traditional vendors. A place that suitable for couple, family, or friends.

    Slightly off the well trodden temple path in Tainan, this excellent complex has seen better days, but is more interesting because of it. It would be a shame in many ways if the decorators arrive and restore this temple as it's current slightly run down appearance makes it special. There are several shrines and unlike many in Tainan, there are no glass or barricades to stop you getting very close up to the relics. There are some highly unusual relics on site that you won't see anywhere else in Tainan, so it's definitely worth making the stop.

    There are two night markets in this vicinity so don’t get confused if you go to the wrong one. This one here should be named Xiaobei Tourist Night Market. And the other is called Xiaobei Xin Chenggong Night Market. The former is roofed over and seems to be permanent and the latter is in an open carpark. I prefer the latter as it more windy (naturally) and is more lively. Somehow when things are temporary, there’s always this feel of excitement. Perhaps like a flower which blooms brightly for a while and then fades away.
