As the year comes to an end, have you decided where to spend your 3-day New Year’s holiday? To welcome 2016, Tainan has not only launched a New Year’s Eve trilogy of events, but also offers rich natural ecology, charming rural appeal, and the most popular cultural and creative arts. If you still haven’t decided where to go, why not take advantage of the three-day break to fully experience the charm of Tainan?

Tainan’s New Year’s Eve trilogy includes bidding farewell to 2015 with a white sunset at the Wapian Salt Fields in Beimen, a New Year’s Eve gala at the High-Speed Rail Tainan Station Plaza, and welcoming the 2016 sunrise at Erliau along with a hiking event at Tiger Head Pond. While everyone is caught up in the New Year’s excitement, the black-faced spoonbills are also making their way to Tainan. It’s recommended to visit the Black-Faced Spoonbill Conservation Area in Qigu District, the main habitat of the spoonbills, to observe their presence, as well as the surrounding unique salt fields, oyster ponds, and mangrove ecology. In Qigu, foodies must also try the delicious seafood, which showcases the charm of Tainan’s coastal fishing villages.
