It’s been a while since I last visited Tainan! In recent years, Tainan has added many new attractions, including the Chimei Museum, Blueprint Cultural and Creative Park, Taijiang Visitor Center, Yuguang Island, and the newly opened Tainan Art Museum Building 2. Coupled with Tainan’s renowned local cuisine, these attractions make it worth visiting Tainan multiple times. This time, I planned a trip to Tainan during the Lunar New Year. It only takes an hour and a half to get from Taipei to Tainan by high-speed rail. Riding a scooter for a one-day or two-day tour of Tainan over the weekend is also very suitable!
