A little walk

Just a small man-made hill covered with salt. Not a tenner but the place is quite instagramable... read more

You need a car or scooter to get there.

I think we paid 200$ NT to get in. There were two of us, and we had a car.

The salt mountain is a hill, around 6 stories I'd say. The best thing about being there is in your photos it will look like a snowy mountain, which if you go in the middle of summer is a kind of fun thing. At the top of the mountain there will be many people pushing in to take pics of the "view" which is basically nothing special. Some roads and little salt ponds.

Around the salt mountain are some activity for kids. They had quads, bumper boats, carousel, and a weird little santa house to take couples pictures in?? Anyway half of the stuff looked not really open. There was a building with some salt sculptures in it nothing too exciting really.

My husband, a local, was really excited to try the special salty ice cream. He got the one with egg? and said it was just ok.

If you live in the area I suppose it worth checking out just to check out. If your visiting Taiwan/Tainan there are much better and more exciting things to do in the area.

It's more of a very small hill rather than a mountain. It should only take you 3-5 minutes to climb up and down, depending if you take photos of the not-so-awesome scenery.

There are food vendors outside, a shop selling local Taiwanese products, and a small museum and activities area. All in all, it shouldn't take you more than an hour to see everything if you take it slow. We took a slight detour to the Salt Mountain on our drive from Taichung to Tainan, so it wasn't that big a disappointment.

Another strange little place. Firstly, do not come here with the sole intention of only visiting this place, it is a salt mountain which you climb, look at the (not great) views and then climb down again. There are shops and activities about but they were all closed when i was there and it seems this place is geared up for weekend. Primarily for the children. Some nice drives in the vicinity though.

It is a salt build up mountain for you to view the surrounding sights. There are other activities for you to do but for younger visitors. Short Four wheel track driving, children's ride. The other must visit area is the Taiwan Salt Museum which is a 5 min drive away
