Experiences during the trip
During my stay in Tainan, I fully enjoyed the charm of shopping, gourmet food, and sightseeing spots. Here are my recommendations!
First, upon arriving in Tainan, my first stop was "Du Xiao Yue." This place is famous as the birthplace of Danzi Noodles, a must-visit for anyone who loves Taiwanese cuisine. The small portion of Danzi Noodles paired with special minced meat and shrimp broth is flavorful, allowing one to feel the history and tradition of Taiwan in every bite. The clean environment of the shop made it hard to resist ordering bowl after bowl.
Next, I visited "Lin Department Store," a building filled with nostalgia, resembling a department store from Japan's Showa era. The store has many cute little items, making it a joy just to stroll around. I also bought Taiwanese tea and souvenirs here. The rooftop features a cute steamed bun sculpture, perfect for photo opportunities. Additionally, "Lin Coffee" on the roof is a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.
In the evening, I indulged in the famous night market in Taiwan. Oyster omelets, beef soup, stir-fried beef, rice dumplings, and mango shaved ice were some of the local delights that satisfied my palate. The flavors of these dishes are not only suitable for Japanese taste buds but also carry a gentle local flavor, which is the charm of Taiwanese cuisine!
The next day, I took a taxi to "Anping Tree House." This place is one of the most historically significant towns in Taiwan, with the sight of banyan trees eroding the ruins over the years being truly shocking, making one feel as if they were in the mysterious ruins of Angkor Wat. Although there was a slight eerie feeling, it is definitely worth a visit, especially for those who love history.
After returning to Tainan city, I went to "Miyashita Eye Clinic" - an ice cream shop converted from an old eye clinic. Sampling the delicious handmade ice cream here gave me a delightful shock of creativity and taste, making it a perfect place to rest.
Tainan is a city full of food and sights, and I sincerely hope to stay longer next time. Perhaps a week-long journey is necessary to fully enjoy all the charms of Tainan!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
