Chikan Tower Reviews

Chihkan Tower was an impressive place where you could truly feel the depth of Tainan's history. It originated as a fortress built during the Dutch colonial period, and its evolution through the ages is fascinating. While traditional Chinese architecture and beautiful gardens spread across the grounds, it also gives you a real sense that Taiwan was once a stage for international trade and power struggles. Visiting after learning its history makes every single building and stone monument look completely different.

The tour guide is fast in arranging our schedule, and complete the itinerary satisfactory, because it was 31°C - a hot sunny day, which we struggled to stay outdoor the whole morning and afternoon. Chimei Museum is a must visit place, highly recommended.

The instructor gave very detailed explanations and was great at guiding the children. Even though it was very sunny throughout the trip, it didn't dampen the kids' enthusiasm for listening to stories at all. Plus, there aren't as many tourists on weekdays, so walking and learning was really comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the history of Tainan and Taiwan—you definitely have to come!

The Anping Tree House was a truly unique place that left me overwhelmed by the vitality of nature. Giant banyan tree roots and branches cover a building that was once used as a trade warehouse, creating a landscape that looks as though the trees are swallowing the structure. This mystical sight, where man-made and natural elements merge into one, has a charm distinct from typical historical buildings. It was also interesting to view it from various angles along the boardwalk, making it a memorable spot where one can truly feel the long passage of time through history and nature.

Anping Fort is a representative historical site in Tainan that everyone knows. The city walls are great for photos, and the unique tower is also fantastic, perfect for all kinds of trendy social media pictures. There is a small gift shop inside, and the surrounding area is the Anping Old Street, which is great for strolling around. The historical site is very well maintained, and you often run into people from different countries.

Yesterday, I visited the long-awaited "Kings of Egypt" special exhibition at the Chimei Museum! Although I had purchased tickets online in advance, I hadn't reserved a time slot. So, upon arrival, I still had to take a number and wait patiently to be called before I could enter. It was a bit of a shame that I didn't get to see the pyramids or mummies, and I spent extra time waiting in line. However, being able to witness precious Egyptian artifacts firsthand and experience the mysterious charm of ancient civilization still felt incredibly worthwhile. It was a very enriching and educational trip!

Price: Includes a TWD 50 voucher that can be used at the restaurant. At the Ten Drum restaurant, it can only be used for set meals. The TWD 50 meal includes rice, vegetables, soup, side dishes, snacks, and a drink, which is very nice. Experience: There are drumming performances at 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The restaurant and some experience facilities (closed from 11:45 AM to 1:10 PM) are only open at specific times. It is best to go early, watch the performance first, then have lunch, and enjoy the experience facilities after eating. You can check the official website in advance.

KLOOK vouchers must be redeemed separately at the Dazhong Temple counter, which is in a completely different location from the regular ticket office. The signage for the ticket office is unclear, and the staff's instructions were very casual. The person I encountered just said "next door"—not the adjacent counter or the waiting room, but the "Dazhong Temple" about 50 meters away. There are quite a few foreign tourists; even I, as a Taiwanese person, was confused about where to redeem the ticket, let alone foreign visitors.

When purchasing the high-speed rail ticket, the meal add-on price was only 5 NTD different from the actual meal price. I personally don't think it's much of a discount. The braised pork rice with pork floss was actually too salty because of the added pork floss, so my cousin and I weren't really used to the taste... The shrimp rolls were genuinely delicious, and the almond tofu was also quite good. The assorted soup was just... okay!
