Recommended travel points

Located in southern Taiwan, Tainan is an ancient city once known as 'Fucheng,' with a history spanning about 300 years.
With convenient access—about two hours from Taipei by High-Speed Rail (HSR)—and a compact size that makes it easy to explore, Tainan is a recommended destination for a short trip.

This model itinerary offers a full two-day experience, starting with a visit to historic salt fields that supported Taiwan’s salt industry, exploring areas with retro streetscapes, dining in traditional old houses, and visiting a long-established incense shop with over 100 years of history.
This comprehensive plan allows you to trace Tainan’s evolving history from the 17th-century Dutch colonial period, through the Qing Dynasty, and into the era of Japanese rule.

Of course, experiences and spots that are not included in the model plan can also be arranged according to the customer's request at Oooh.
A local resident coordinator will tailor-make an impressive trip.
