What travellers are saying
- Travelove5811,345 contributionsThe Museum building is situated at the end of a super huge compound, from the main road. But as there are no shelters, it is very hot ( or wet if rains) to walk through this long huge ground. There is a special free shuttle bus at Tainan station, for those who used THSR ( show tickets to bus driver).
The 2 floors comprises different categories of displays. For us, the huge amount of different animals exhibits were the most interesting & amazing ( though place a little too dark to appreciate the animals exhibits clearly). This is a rather unique museum which definitely is worth a visit.Written 11 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Orator11Singapore, Singapore5,358 contributionsFirst Japanese departmental store. Do take the lift up to the fifth floor where you can have a coffee or iced tofu pudding in the quaint old shops.
After, browse through the five floors to see the various clothing and shoes and household goods.
What was supposed to be a 30 minute shopping spree became a 1 1/2 hour stint through the independent and original stalls across each floor.Written 15 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelproA221 contributionsa bit far from the city limits, it would take you about an hour Uber ride back and forth from downtown Tainan, but this museum is both big and has a lot to offer, I definitely recommend itWritten 19 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,579 contributionsShennong Street is actually a narrow alley at the heart of Tainan. Part of it inside a wet market, the street is part of a revamped area that was the city's prime retail space. A stroll along the distinctive passageway is fun. Unfortunately not much information is available on site and many of the shops are closed.Written 12 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarshinnzimSydney, Australia17 contributionsAn interesting look back on Tainan’s establishment. English on some of the presentations. Used Google Translate on many. A few hours well spent.Written 18 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,579 contributionsAs the former capital of Formosa, Tainan is dotted with historic buildings. The Confucius Temple is a notable example. The vast structure marks the literary scene of Koxinga's Taiwan. The whole place is oddly new after recent renovations.Written 12 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GlobalGypsy_13San Diego, CA2,689 contributionsThis grand building is a delight -- both inside and out. It stands on a main traffic circle in Tainan and has some displays on the outside as well as special exhibits in the inside. Although I do not know Chinese, this grand structure attests to the high esteen with which literature and literary life is held.Written 9 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marian ALangley City, Canada9 contributionsStayed at Mutsun Springs Resort - fabulous place - they took us here to see the fire/water spring. Amazing natural spot and stay to watch the sunset. It is amazing!Written 16 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Angelia W167 contributionsWe were there around 5.30pm. It was not too crowded and we could walk at ease. There were food and drink stalls, games stalls, accessories (earrings, phones), apparel etc. The crowd started to stream in when we left around 7pm. Do visit this night market early to avoid the crowd.Written 19 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia14,409 contributionsThis university dates from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is known for its picturesque campus, and the iconic banyan tree, which provides shade during the baking summer. The historic campus is open to the public. NCKU is best known for its science and engineering schools, which evolved from NCKU's roots as a technical college in the Japanese era.Written 27 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
