The 2023 Tainan three-day and two-night itinerary is recommended to you, so that you don’t have to worry about traveling during the long holidays. Including the Tainan Art Museum, Tainan Wude Hall and other places that are must-visit when visiting Tainan. In addition, we have found different special attractions in Tainan in the West Central District and Anping District to introduce to you. Finally, I would like to recommend a high-quality hotel in Tainan with convenient transportation to everyone!

Tainan Art Museum is located at No. 1, Section 2, Zhongyi Road, West Central District, Tainan City. It is only about ten minutes’ drive from the train station and National Highway 1, which is very convenient. If you drive from other counties or cities, you can visit in the afternoon. The most popular exhibition at the moment is the “Hell and Ghosts in Asia” exhibition, which has specially added works of traditional Taiwanese folk beliefs, such as Tiger Aunt, Demon God, horror movie posters and props, and borrowed the “Tenth Hall of Hell Hanging Scroll” from the National Museum of Taiwan History. At the same time, artists such as Hou Chunting, Yao Ruizhong, Yan Zhongxian and other Taiwanese contemporary artists were invited to exhibit related works, recording Taiwan’s underground temple culture and legends, which will definitely let you see the charm of Taiwanese culture.
Day 1 of Tainan 3-day 2-night itinerary – Anping Old Street
Yanping Street, Anping District, Tainan City
- Open 24 hours

After visiting the art museum in the afternoon, it was almost time for shopping and dinner. Speaking of Tainan Old Street, I believe everyone must have heard of Anping Old Street. It is basically an indispensable part of every itinerary. “Anping Old Street” was the first street built by the Dutch in Anping more than 300 years ago. It was designed only for people and carts to pass through, so the street is not very wide. Later, it was demolished and rebuilt for safety and tourism reasons. Today, Zhongxing Street and Xiaozhong Street, which are parallel to Yanping Street, have preserved relatively intact traces of the old streets. Many tourists who come to Anping will definitely enter this ancient street. Crowded and bustling crowds are the norm in Anping Old Street. If you don’t visit this famous street, your trip to Tainan will be in vain!
Tainan 3-day 2-night itinerary, second day morning – Tainan Wude Temple
No. 2, Section 2, Zhongyi Road, West Central District, Tainan City
- Business hours: 8:00 – 18:00 every Saturday and Sunday
(Tainan Wude Hall is now the auditorium of Zhongyi Elementary School in West Central District, Tainan City. Image source: Wikipedia.)
I recommend that you find a place to stay in the Central and Western District, which has convenient transportation and is convenient to everywhere. After getting up in the morning, you can also go to Tainan Wude Temple for a walk, the scenery is very beautiful. The “Butokuden” is a dojo built by the Great Japan Butoku Association during the Japanese colonial period to promote martial arts. It is divided into prefecture-level Butoku Association branches, county-level Butoku Association branches, and street-level Butoku Association branches. The original Tainan Wude Hall belonged to the state-level branch of the Wude Association. The full name of the “Former Tainan Wude Hall” is the Wude Hall of the Tainan Branch of the Great Japan Butoku Association. It is the largest existing Wude Hall building in Taiwan. It was designed by the Construction Department of the Civil Engineering Division of the Tainan Prefecture Office at that time. Both the design and construction quality are very high-end. It is currently the auditorium of Zhongyi National Elementary School and is therefore open to the public only on holidays. The overall architectural style is that of traditional Japanese shrine buildings, with the main body divided into three parts: roof, body, and base. The roof is a hip roof with a cross-shaped ridge, and the roof of the porch is in the Tangbo style. The most distinctive feature is the top of the ridge, which is shaped like an official hat.
Tainan 3-day 2-night itinerary, second day at noon – Taijiang National Park
Alley 80, Sicao Avenue, Annan District, Tainan City
- Business hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 – 17:00, closed on Mondays

After visiting Tainan Wude Temple, you can come to Taijiang National Park for a walk. Remember to abide by the relevant regulations and protect nature together! Taijiang National Park is a famous scenic spot in Annan District. Taijiang has two international-level wetlands, Zengwen River Mouth Wetland and Sicao Wetland, as well as two national-level wetlands, Qigu Salt Field Wetland and Yanshui River Mouth Wetland. Sicao Wetland is located at the confluence of Zengwen River, Luermen River, Yanshui River and Jianan Dapai River. It contains endangered ecological resources such as the black-faced spoonbill. People who want to watch birds can go there in winter, when the largest number of black-faced spoonbills in the world will gather here, which is very spectacular!

In addition, the mangrove tunnel is also a highlight. In addition to private entertainment rafts, there are also sightseeing boats that can be taken. Traveling through the lush green tunnel is like arriving in the Amazon River. Friends who are going to Taijiang National Park during the Qingming Festival must try it!
The evening of the second day of Tainan’s three-day and two-night itinerary – Qiaotou Beach Park Sunset Viewing Platform
708 Yubin Road, Anping District, Tainan City
- Open 24 hours
(You can enjoy the sea view and the sunset at the sunset viewing platform. Image source: flickr.com. )
After visiting the Mangrove Tunnel, I recommend that you go to the Sunset Viewing Platform not far from Taijiang National Park. It is a scenic spot where you can take a walk and watch the sea view and sunset. When the weather is good, there will always be many people coming to the Sunset Viewing Platform to play on the sand and waves and wait for the sunset, enjoying a leisurely afternoon. In addition, it is easy to see the scenery of fire clouds at dusk in Tainan in summer. The platform on the breakwater is also a holy place for taking photos. If you like landscape photography, the Sunset Viewing Platform is a place not to be missed.
The last morning of the three-day and two-night trip in Tainan – Jingliao Old Street
No. 262, Houbi District, Tainan City
- Business hours: Varies depending on the store
(The appearance of Jingliao Old Street after the lights are turned off. Image source: flickr.com.)
If you want to avoid the crowds during the Qingming Festival, Jingliao Old Street would be one of the best choices. This is an old street that has not been wiped out by too much commercial atmosphere. Many shops still retain their original appearance, and the century-old houses are still in their old appearance. Walking around and placing lucky bags here will take you back to Taiwan decades ago. In Jingliao Old Street, many shops have a history of more than 100 years and have been in business for many years. Compared with other bustling old streets, Jingliao Old Street has a strong local flavor and is well worth a visit.
Tainan Quality Hotel Recommendations
The above itinerary is what the editor thinks is a very suitable route for traveling to Tainan. The duration is about three days and two nights. In addition to the attractions, the place where you stay is of course also very important when going out to play! Here I would like to recommend a high-quality hotel in Tainan, that is our Three Doors Architectural and Creative Hotel!
(The design of the lobby on the first floor is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, making people want to sit down and enjoy a relaxing time.)
Besides being located in a prime location near the train station, the feeling you get when you walk into the three doors is full of comfort. The hotel’s design concept is to integrate into the hotel. Each room is carefully designed to ensure that you can relax both mentally and physically after a tiring day. It is definitely a good place to rest during your trip! In addition, Sandaomen also attaches great importance to passenger safety. In addition to regular disinfection of door handles and elevator buttons, the most important thing is that since the three doors were put into operation in 2015, they have insisted on using an O3 ozone sterilization circulation machine for two hours of disinfection after cleaning the room every day before releasing the room. Let passengers feel safe, comfortable and at ease as if they are back home.
Three doors carefully designed in every detail
(The style of each room varies according to the theme, and there will also be shaped towels carefully folded by the housekeeping staff, which is very cute.)
From the hotel’s exterior to the rooms, Three Doors carefully designs every detail. Three Doors Hotel uses Taiwan’s history as its design background. Even the tile design of each room is different. For example, the Dutch period uses European-style snow-white floor tiles, the Japanese colonial period uses wooden designs, the Republic of China period uses exposed concrete, the modern development period uses industrial metal style, and the aesthetic period uses artistic style. Each one is carefully designed. I believe that customers who walk into the hotel can fully experience the full taste and delicacy.
