Tainan is known as an ancient cultural capital. Every year, over a million tourists visit Tainan, bringing many business opportunities and cultural atmosphere to Tainan. The well-known attractions include Chihkan Tower, Anping Fort, Anping Old Street, etc., which are full of historical traces and are popular choices for attractions in Tainan. However, the large number of tourists also led to congestion in the tourist attractions, and people began gradually to develop uninhabited secret attractions. And choose to travel on weekdays to avoid the crowds and enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly. Today I would like to introduce to you some beautiful scenery that only authentic Tainan people know.

The advantage of traveling on weekdays is that you don’t have to squeeze with other tourists. When it comes to recommended attractions for weekday trips, of course, the beautiful scenery on the mountains is the best. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while following the festival customs. Today, I will introduce several beautiful scenery located in the mountains for your reference.

Uninhabited secret spot – Fairy Lake Farm

It has 52 hectares of farmland. It is not at a high altitude but has a good geographical location. From Xianhu Farm, you can overlook the Dongshan Mountain in Tainan, and even see the shrinking scenery of the city roofs in Tainan and Chiayi. If you are lucky, you can even see the beautiful scenery shrouded in clouds and mist, which is like a fairyland. It really lives up to its name, no wonder it is called Xianhu Leisure Farm. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but there are also sand pits and infinity pools for children to play in. It is a very suitable tourist destination for the whole family to go out and play together on weekdays.

Tainan’s Secret Spot – Rende Hushan Forest Farm

I believe everyone in Taiwan knows the Chi Mei Museum, but few people know that there is a beautiful forest scenery worth visiting near the Chi Mei Museum. Located right behind Hushan Elementary School, this beautiful forest trail is only a five-minute drive away. This place used to be planted with watermelons, so it was formerly known as the Watermelon Mountain Trail, but now, it has become the world of Terminalia microcarpa. As far as the eye can see, there are towering Terminalia small-leaved indica trees everywhere, and the ground is covered with withered yellow fallen leaves, which make a rustling sound when stepped on. This forest provides people with a shade, so it is quite cool to walk in it. Especially during the Double Ninth Festival, which is the season turning to autumn, the ground is covered with fallen leaves, which make rustling sounds when walking, giving a different kind of outing feeling.

Locals’ Pocket List – 174 Wing Knights Inn

174 Wing Knight Inn is a landscape cafe converted from an abandoned farmhouse. The owner of the cafe happened to pass by the place and discovered the beautiful scenery, so he renovated it so that everyone can enjoy such beautiful scenery. The scenery from the viewing platform is very beautiful, and because it is autumn, it is cool all day long and not very hot. There is no time limit. As long as you meet the minimum consumption of 100 yuan, you can stay there for a long time. It is really pleasant to take pictures of the scenery on the mountain.

Recommended accommodation in Tainan – San Dao Men Hotel

When going out for fun, the choice of attractions is important, but the hotel is also very important! I believe everyone has chosen a very bad hotel when traveling, which greatly reduced the mood of the trip! Today I’d like to introduce a hipster hotel in Tainan that focuses on architecture and cultural creativity – San Dao Men, for your reference.

「Open three doors, welcome home」

We aim to make travelers feel as comfortable as if they were back home, while also allowing them to experience life like in a luxury home. Sandaomen has put a lot of thought into the design of each room, from the artistic Tianbu Art Room to the small and exquisite Elegant Light and Shadow Room, there is even the Mingyuan Butler Room which comes with a butler who can take care of your travel affairs, so that both those who want to travel for leisure and those who want to backpack can be greatly satisfied.

(The rooftop is designed as a sky garden where people can enjoy the cool breeze and the beautiful night view of Tainan.)

In addition, there is a carefully crafted sky garden on the top floor of the hotel for recreation. Any traveler in need can use it after asking, and sit in a rocking chair on the top floor and enjoy the cool breeze on an autumn night in Tainan. It is a comfort that cannot be described in words. In addition to being beautiful and popular with tourists, the rooftop garden also has many artificial plants, which can lower the indoor temperature in summer and achieve the goal of greening the environment and sustainable management.

(There are many books and board games in the rooftop Aesthetics Museum. You are welcome to rent them.)

Taking into account the possibility that some tourists may bring children, Sandaomen has also planned a life aesthetics museum on the top floor. In addition to providing books for reading, it also provides various board games for everyone to play. Everyone is welcome to come up and use it when you are free!
