Taiwan’s Longest Roller Slide: A Hidden Kids’ Playground in a Tainan Temple

Photos provided by Mei Zi – Mei Zi’s Travel & Food Diary –

Mei Zi is sharing a spot that’s been on my list for nearly half a year. This time, on another trip to southern Taiwan, I just had to check it out. Here we are—surrounding Jiafu Temple, there are amusement facilities, a barbecue area, and food stalls. Of course, you can also take a stroll, enjoy the beautiful flowers and scenery. Come on—cutting out the fluff—let’s all go play with us here at this spot!!

Huh? I couldn’t find the slide I wanted to play on. Mei Zi wasn’t giving up and asked a stall vendor. Finally, we got the info. Following the vendor’s directions, we found the roller slide. The temple even provides boards and has posted safety notices. With these thick boards, no worries about burning or hurting your butt—you can slide to your heart’s content.

Just like in the photo, Mei Zi is sitting on the board with hands holding on tight!! Ready to have a blast. Mei Zi and her husband took turns, having an amazing time—they didn’t even want to move on to the next attraction!!

Near Jiafu Temple, there’s also a children’s playground—not small in size—and the rides are super fun.

When we got here, we were charmed by these adorable little Shaolin monks, each in different poses—so cute that we couldn’t help but snap a few extra photos to share.

(Line break)       You could easily spend one or two hours here. Both adults and kids will be totally drawn in by the roller slide. There’s also a barbecue area nearby—if you’re into grilling, this is a great spot to visit too!! We had so much fun today, it even put us in a better mood. Coming back to share it all with you all!!
