Places to Visit in Tainan
The kids had a great time feeding bread to the animals, riding the miniature horse, visiting the amusement park, and watching the pig race and a live animal show.
We saw flamingos, camels, coatis, porcupines, peacocks, kangaroos, llamas, ostriches, toucans, elephants, macaws, macaques, penguins, alligators, turtles, and a Komodo dragon. Pretty cool!
Anping Tree House
An old warehouse of the Tait & Co merchant house, engulfed by giant Banyan trees. It's an unusual sight, and the kids had fun climbing up and down the stairs around it.
Anping Fort (Fort Zeelandia)
A fortress built in 1634 by the Dutch, when Taiwan was an important transit port in East Asia.
Chihkan Tower (Fort Provintia)
An old Dutch fort with Chinese-style towers built on top. At the top of one of the towers, you can pray to the God of Literature for good grades. Haha--so Taiwanese! :)

How fun!
It looks like you had a wonderful trip! What did your kids like best about the trip?
Hi Faith,
Yes, we saw so many beautiful places--it was amazing! The kids loved the delicious food the best.
I thought I knew Taiwan, but
I thought I knew Taiwan, but i don't b/c i didn't know about these places. Guess why the tour is a good idea. Did you think it went too fast? LIke not enough time at each location? Oh, and on the post about night markets, i love them too!
Hi Lisacng,
Yes, it would have been nice to do a 10-day tour, but we just didn't have the time. I'm still glad we did it, even though it was a whirlwind tour.
