Tainan isn’t just about the all-white stilt houses on Zhengxing Street and the Salt Mountain — must-visit spots!

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Tainan, the largest city in the Jianan Plain region, is known as a historic cultural capital and a food paradise, boasting a rich, diverse, and uniquely blessed array of tourist resources. In addition to the recently popular container market on Zhengxing Street, other photogenic hotspots in Tainan are also well worth a visit. Below are three recommended all-white buildings and natural landscapes that offer the beauty of snow even in the height of summer.

Taijiang Academy (Administrative and Visitor Center of Taijiang National Park Headquarters)
 
Taijiang National Park has built Taiwan’s first stilt-structured visitor center atop piles over water, a unique design that has even been recognized as the first diamond-rated green building among southern government facilities. Coupled with the area's original ecological habitat features, it integrates living functions and has become a highly meaningful and distinctive landscape architecture.
