Tainan 台南

Wake up Saturday 12 Nov 2011 morning late and dont have any plan in mind. Then suddenly housemates ask me. Wanna go Tainan? Without hesitate i agreed to go with them. Took local bus to Kaohsiung main train station and bought immediate train to Tainan.  

Kaohsiung to Tainan on 區間車 cost 68NT$. Depart at 1405 and journey takes 53mins. 

Tainan Main Station... see how late we arrive 

(main purpose to Tainan is Garden Night Market 花園夜市) 

Once arrive Tainan directly head off to An Ping District 安平區 to An Ping Fort 安平古堡 also known as Fort Zeelandia. Entrance fees is 50NT$ but student discount is 25NT$. 

Went straight to the museum. 

Then to the fort... actually it has nothing to see... we just took a few photo then left...

Climb up to the top of the tower and can have an aerial view of the town... but its still nothing

 Temple directly in front of ticket counter entrance

 The spiral stairs... not really worth climbing

Another angle of the tower

There is another attraction nearby - An Ping Tree House 安平樹屋 (25NT$ student price) but since its already late so we give it a miss. 

Then take bus 99 back to Tainan Main Train Station then take another bus to Garden Night Market. Its really big and crowded. Ranked top 10 night market in Taiwan. 

See those crowd... there is no chance of walking but move by being push by people.

Love those flag banner... really easy to indicate direction and find food.

Food section 

Stinky tofu... had been wishing to try for a long long time. 

 Very nice fried pork ribs 100NT$ medium

 Fried mushroom... crispy on the outside but 'springy' inside.

Variety of fresh Japanese sushi

Fresh cut fruits... fruits are really sweet and juicy 

 Choices of flavored fresh milk and surely bubble milk tea

 BBQ corn 10NT$

 Ai yu jelly lemon 35NT$... first time i see ai yu fruits.

Betel nut, cigarette and beer stall

Game section 

something like mini funfair...

 Try your luck game... only allow to open few pieces and must match in line to win.

 

 After half day in Tainan and without seeing much on the attraction we left Tainan back to Kaohsiung
