The Milkfish Theme Museum on Yuguang Island offers local stories. Tour guide Ms. Chen provides a friendly explanation of Yuguang Island and Tainan's history, making it a great stop for international visitors to Tainan. It's clear they put a lot of effort into promoting domestic tourism.

The children had a great time, and while the old street didn't seem very crowded, it was inspiring to see people still working hard to revitalize the area, which made me want to support them. The staff were all very friendly. Even though it was raining, the kids had a lot of fun and were excited to share their experiences when we got home. Parking nearby was quite convenient, making it a great place to take children for an experience.

I'm so glad we had such a great coach for our first time taking young kids paddleboarding! Coach Kaku and the team of coaches were very friendly and humorous, and extremely kid-friendly. The coaches were very focused on water safety, carefully explaining knowledge about the water area, terrain, and currents, and stayed with us the entire time. Although we only booked paddleboarding, the coaches also let us try windsurfing and jet skiing, which was a lot of fun! They also took many photos for us. The entire 3-hour experience was completely stress-free, and the kids had a wonderful time. They even want to go back again!

Kaku and Coach Pei-hong are super nice; I highly recommend them for water activities at Yuguang Island! If you're interested in other activities, you can also book directly through their official fan page/LINE: @kaku

I'm Japanese. Although I've had several SUP experiences in Japan, I don't understand Taiwanese and only speak a little English. I was traveling alone from Japan, but thanks to Teacher Taro's kindness, I had a wonderful time! The fact that I was able to ask many questions via Instagram DM before booking on Klook also gave me peace of mind. This was one of the best memories of my trip to Taiwan. Thank you very much!!

Boat tours, sandbar landings, and oyster grilling are activities suitable for both adults and children. Please remember to dress warmly, as the sea breeze can be strong after heading out in winter. The staff are all very friendly and hospitable; they frequently check on the fire's intensity, add charcoal, and patiently teach oyster shucking techniques. We found that a hotter fire makes the shells open more easily. The tour guides are humorous and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot of related information during the trip. The sandbar is gradually eroding due to various factors; many of the boardwalks were damaged and inaccessible during our visit. It's possible that landing may be completely prohibited in the future, so if you're interested, please visit soon!
