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—and a compact area that's easy to explore, Tainan is a recommended destination for a short trip.

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

Of course, Oooh can also arrange experiences and spots not included in the model plan, according to your preferences.
Our local coordinators will create a tailor-made, inspiring journey for you.
