How to Get From Tainan to Taipei // Taking the High Speed Rail in Taiwan (and local train)

January 24, 2021 by hollyGS

We woke up at 7:00am, and I made us a breakfast with the eggs, toast and mushrooms we had bough at the local grocery store. We then packed up and headed to the local Tainan train station. I had read that you can take a shuttle bus to the High Speed Rail from the bus station adjacent to the Tainan train station. We asked so many people, but this bus did not seem to exist. A gentleman at the bus […]

Eternal Golden Palace and Vegetarian Hot Pot in Tainan Taiwan

January 20, 2021 by hollyGS

After exploring the incredibly cool old town of Anping (the Anping Old Fort and the Anping Treehouse), we decided to walk towards a site we didn’t know existed until that day, the Eternal Golden Palace. Along the way we saw the Anping harbour, and visited the large wire whale that resides alongside the boats. The Eternal Golden Palace was built in 1874 with the purpose of defending the Taiwanese from the invading Japanese. It is built in a very interesting […]

Anping Treehouse | Abandoned Dutch Warehouse

January 10, 2021 by hollyGS

After we explored the Old Anping Fort/ Fort Zeelandia, it was on to the Anping Treehouse! This treehouse used to be an old dutch trading outpost/ warehouse. Around the beginning of the Japanese colonial time, the opium trade was made into a government buisness, so this warehouse went abandoned, until it was briefly made into a salt storage facility. Years of abandon have allowed the banyan trees to take over this building, making it into a treehouse! The entrance fee […]

Walking to Anping from Tainan | Old Anping Fort!

January 3, 2021 by hollyGS

I woke up at 6:00am and made us coffee with this fancy looking folding coffee filter (I’ll add a picture below). I had never seen something like it before (exploring foreign grocery stores is the best)!! We made eggs with mushroom, and fried up some toast. After our breakfast, we set out on an adventure to walk to Anping from Tainan city center. Along the way we tried to get wifi in order to figure out how to get to […]

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 […]
