1. Anping｜Blessing of the Big Fish
This giant whale installation is one of the most eye-catching works of art in Anping in recent years. By day it is clean and crisp; at night, once it is lit, it becomes a beast of light floating on the sea.
Photography tip:Dusk into night is the best time to photograph it — the sunset together with the lighting is thoroughly dreamlike!

2. Shanhua｜The Onigiri Glass House
A paradise for lovers of minimal white; the expanse of glass and the pure white architecture make you feel you have stepped into the pages of a Japanese magazine. The rice balls, which photograph as well as they taste, are another highlight!
Photography tip:Wearing white or beige and using natural light will give you the cleanest, freshest images.
3. Tainan Art Museum, The POOL
A café on the top floor of the art museum, with superb light and a fine sense of space. White walls and glass merge into what looks like a white box floating in the sky.
Photography tip:Light and shadow are softest at dawn or dusk, and you can take magazine-quality pictures with no filter at all.

4. Hean Riverside Plaza
Converted from the site of the former China Town, its concrete and lagoon combine into a sense of the future. By day families enjoy it together; by night it is as quiet as a secret place within the city.
Photography tip:Look for the angle where the arches and their reflection in the water are symmetrical, and the image will have more depth.
