Blue Print Cultural and Creative Park | We Accidentally Crashed a Taiwanese Wedding

December 27, 2020 by hollyGS

After Visiting Koxianga’s Shrine (the Pirate Shrine) and the Old South Gate, we walked a short 10 minute distance to an interesting are called Blue Print Cultural and Creative Park. This area used to be government housing, and has now been converted to a sort of artist’s village with shops, cafes, street art and live music. The street art in this area was incredible, so I will share some picture with you! There was also a “blue print house” which […]

This Temple Was Built For a Pirate!! Koxianga’s Shrine and Park Tainan Taiwan

December 23, 2020 by hollyGS

After visiting the oldest Temple in Taiwan, we head a bit further south towards Koxianga’s Shrine. There were two ladies with fancy photography crews taking photographs on the beautiful old bridge. We had a picnic by the pond and then wandered around the shrine (which sort of looked like the Korean style of Temple to me). The shrine has been re purposed many times, including being dedicated to the founder of Taiwan, who was once a pirate!!! You can also […]

The Oldest Temple in Taiwan | God of War Temple and Confucius Temple Tainan

December 14, 2020 by hollyGS

After visiting Fort Provintia near by, it was a very brief 2 minute walk to get to the oldest temple in Taiwan. The God of War Temple or Sì Diǎn Wǔ Miào 祀典武廟 was built sometime in the 1660s. This temple is dedicated to the God Szu Wu Miao. The temple complex was a series of about 10 buildings, each one with an altar and place to burn incense. The temple was gorgeously ornamented and had a lovely back garden. After this temple, […]

First Impressions of Tainan | Fort Provintia 赤嵌樓

December 6, 2020 by hollyGS

After arriving in Tainan and dropping our bags off at our awesome airbnb, we headed out on an adventure to explore Tainan, the oldest city in Taiwan!! Our first stop was at an old dutch fort, turned Qing Temple, turned Japanese Hospital, called Fort Provintia. It was 50 NTD each to enter the fort. This wasn’t a very large site and there were lots of tourists, so I felt very overwhelmed. I had quite a panic attack, which you can […]

How to Get From Kaohsiung to Tainan (Local Train Do-it-Yourself)

November 29, 2020 by hollyGS

To make the journey from Kaohsiung to Tainan, we woke up pretty early, just in case it took us a few hours to figure out the process. We checked out of our airbnb and headed to Kaohsiung main train station to buy tickets to Tainan on the local train. The ticket machine was a lot like the one we had used to get tickets to Juifen. You put your money into the machine first, then select your number of people, […]

To go along with the self guided walking tour of Lotus lake that I wrote about two posts previous, I wanted to create a post to collect the four videos together that we made while we were at Lotus Lake. Lotus Lake is an incredible place, and it really is a FULL day trip from Kaohsiung South Taiwan. We would highly recommend it!
