    If u got time, you probably can go in for a quick visit. Now part of the tower is under renovation , so you can just go visit the main tower

    Street flanked by traditional buildings, some commercial and some residential all mixed together. However like a few places in Tainan, we either came to early in the day (mind you, it’s early afternoon) or they only opens during weekends. Lucky for us, we found an interesting souvenir shop which is opened.

    This is a city of temples.
     
    Taiwan is a small island, yet you will never get bored living on it. There are fireworks every week, especially in Tainan! We are celebrating birthday of Godssssssss almost every week.

    Taoism is the major religion here, unlike Buddhism, there are over thousands of gods in heaven. And similar to Greek mythology, the relations between Taiwan-gods are so complicated that you think you are watching “House of cards”.

    Imagine each god lives in 1 temple and believers play firework for each birthday. Multiple by thousand. Then imagine the gods are leaving their temples for other gods’ parties… Yes we have the busiest temple festival rundown, even busier than Taiwan international airport we afraid!
     
    The Lantern Festival shown in picture takes place at Pu-ji Temple, celebrating its 350 yrs old. All the lanterns are beautifully painted by local tainanese, from children to artists. This year there are also Stunning Traditional Paper-cuts hidden in nearby lanes. It's worth searching every single corner, both day and night. You will find it romantic, warm and full of blessings.

    South city gate, or Fucheng Nanmen is located at Shulin Street. The gate is the only one with defensive enclosure in Taiwan. The enclosure extends from the city gate and forms an outer layer of city wall. The enclosure was built around 1835.

    The gate was once the entrance to the city at the southern side. Today, however, the city walls have been destroyed to give way to the modern buildings.

    The city gate is a symbol of greatness of Tainan city in the past. Now, it is a lonely relic, standing in the middle of a beautiful park.

    The gate is near to Confucius Temple, Shinkong Mall, and the old streets, Judicial Museum, and the art center.
