Where to go for Christmas 2023? Every Christmas there are always crowds of people everywhere, especially after the baptism of the epidemic a while ago, everyone must be bored. I am here to share with you my personal recommendations for Christmas tourist attractions and hotel accommodations in Tainan. Are there any places that are not crowded and suitable for Christmas visits? Here is a recommendation for you!

Recommended Christmas tourist attractions

Banyan Tree Plaza

Lane 258, Section 2, Fuqian Road, West Central District, Tainan City/span>

(The Love Tree, which became famous overnight due to the film “The Chief Architect”, and the nearby green space were officially named Banyan Tree Forest Square. Image source: Sandaomen Official Facebook Fan Page.)

A long time ago, there was a very famous Chinese film called “The Chef”, in which there was a very classic scene where the hero and heroine were dating under a banyan tree. At that time, the banyan tree was nicknamed “the love tree”. Later, the Daliang Ecological Park was established in the nearby riverside green space, and the banyan tree here was officially named: Banyan Forest Square. Trails were paved and new park street lights were added, with blue water ripple lights at night. It is also close to the canal and is very beautiful at night. It can be said to be Tainan’s private attraction and is very suitable for a visit during Christmas.

Tainan Yujing Magic Forest Landscape Cafe Restaurant Skywalk

When you first come in, you will find that the parking lot is very large. You don’t have to worry about parking at all. The white church is at the end. The entire white church is covered in snow-white, which makes people feel very dreamy and is very suitable for couples to come here for a date. There is also a skywalk with a 270-degree view, and it is very nice and beautiful to take photos standing on it. The skywalk is located next to the view cafe, and the white church, view cafe, and Yintian Mountain House all belong to the same owner. I really recommend coming here during Christmas.

巴克禮紀念公園 Barclay Memorial Park

Tainan City East District

(The bald cypress trees at Buckley Memorial Park are very beautiful in winter)

The design concept of the expansion project of Buckley Memorial Park is to raise the wooden boardwalk to create a firefly habitat, restore the nectar-producing plant area and create a biological corridor, so that the animals and plants in the park can coexist peacefully and friendly. The detention pond also provides an excellent habitat for birds such as egrets, red-crowned moorhens, and kingfishers. It won the first prize of the Global Excellence in Construction Award in 2016. In addition, depending on the changes in the weather, the bald cypress will turn brown and yellow every winter, which is very beautiful.

Recommended Christmas tourist attractions

Watching the sunset at Jingzijiao Salt Field

727 Tainan City Beimen District Southwest Suburb Salt Pan Restoration
Opening hours：09:30–20:00

(In addition to experiencing the traditional salt-drying fun, Jingzijiao can also enjoy the beautiful sunset. Image source: flickr.com)

「The “Jingzijiao Wapan Salt Pan” is the first salt pan in Beimen District and the oldest existing Wapan Salt Pan site, with a history of more than 200 years. Later, it was gradually abandoned due to high labor costs, and was not reopened until later for tourism. Visitors can experience the fun of traditional salt drying, carrying and collecting salt here. It is an in-depth tourist attraction suitable for family travel. In addition, the sunset at Jingzijiao is also a factor that attracts many people, especially during the New Year’s Eve, many people will go to Jingzijiao to enjoy the last sunset of the year.In winter, the time for watching the sunset is about 5:30。If you are going, please pay attention to the time and don’t miss it.

Watching the Sunrise at Erliao, Tainan

No. 31, Ganglin Village, Zuozhen District, Tainan City
OPEN HOUR：9:00 ~ 24:00

(In addition to being a scenic spot for appreciating the dawn, Erliao is also the filming location for many TV series. Image source: flickr.com)

After watching the sunset, of course, you can’t miss the sunrise. After watching the last sunset of the year and participating in the New Year’s Eve activities, of course, the next step is to watch the first sunrise of 2023. Here I recommend a list of places to watch the sunrise─Erliao. Erliao has the lowest altitude in Taiwan, where the beautiful slanting light of sunrise meets the bamboo forest and clouds on the chalk terrain, forming a beautiful scene like a splash-ink Chinese painting. Therefore, it has become an excellent place for everyone to watch the sunrise. In addition, this is also the filming location of “Want to See You” and “Why is My Grandma So Cute”, so it attracts many tourists every year. Therefore, friends who want to come to Erliao to chase the first light of the new year should remember to go out early to grab a good spot.

Recommended hotels for Christmas︱Sandaomen Architecture Hotel

(The hotel’s unique sky garden allows people to enjoy the beautiful scenery.)

Of course you have to stay in a hotel with a nice atmosphere during Christmas to relax after a whole day of sightseeing. I would like to recommend Sandaomen Architectural Cultural Hotel to you. “Welcome home” is the purpose of Sandomen. In addition to experiencing the atmosphere of a luxury house, it also makes you feel as comfortable as home.

The butlers and stewards of Sandaomen combine the styles of British butlers and Japanese female generals, so the service of Sandaomen is full of elegance and warmth. In addition, Sandaomen hopes that every traveler who comes to Sandaomen will not only travel, but also get to know Tainan better and immerse themselves in Tainan’s unique cultural atmosphere.
