Located in southwestern Taiwan, Tainan has an inseparable connection with the ocean and rivers. With over 40 kilometers of coastline, the sea has brought benefits from fishing and salt production, as well as a wealth of cultural and landscape resources. The Tourism Bureau has once again invited illustrator Croter Hong Tianxian to create the “Tainan Light Water Ripple” themed map in a surreal, mutated, and full-bleed illustration style. It is now available for free upon request.

Tainan boasts many water-friendly environments, such as irrigation ponds that conserve water resources, beautifully scenic lakes, ecologically educational mangrove mudflats, reservoir scenic areas that serve both water storage and leisure, and charming coastlines, forming the diverse landscape of Greater Tainan.

The “Tainan Light Water Ripple” themed map issued by the Tourism Bureau this time invites illustrator Croter Hong Tianxian, who uses his surreal, mutated, and full-bleed illustration style to depict a full map of Tainan’s various water-friendly attractions. Paired with descriptions by travel writer Huang Yuqing of the scenery at 33 water-friendly spots, the content includes tips for visiting and points to note.

Some spots also offer experiences where you can take in the beauty of the water, such as the recently launched Tainan Canal boat tour—where you bend down and pass under bridges—which allows you to enjoy the cityscapes around the canal, Fish Light Island where you can walk on waves and watch the sunset, Golden Coast and Shuangchun Coastal Recreation Area, taking a fishing raft to Qigu Lake to land on an uninhabited island, watching a stunning sunset, and strolling through the green tunnel of the Sicao Mangrove.

Additionally, you can experience the Taijiang Sicao Lake eco-tour, ride in a painting-style boat resembling a “water palace” to feel the charm of Jianshanpi Reservoir, known as “Little Jiangnan,” as well as solar-powered boats and a variety of recreational facilities in the Wushantou and Hutoupi Reservoir scenic areas. Coupled with the annual canoeing experiences held at Deyuanpi and Hulu Pi, which are very popular with families.
