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.

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.

Location: There is a bus stop right outside the sausage museum, which is very convenient. Experience: For the DIY activity, you can choose between a material kit or a finished product, and all tools are provided on-site (I ended up choosing the finished product because I was afraid mine would turn out too ugly 🤣). Additionally, there are small exhibitions to view on both the 2nd and 3rd floors, plus delicious food—yummy!!

The Lakeshore lobby is spacious and comfortable, the rooms are clean, and the bathrooms have separate wet and dry areas. The toiletries have a pleasant scent, and the bedding is soft. Overall, the experience was excellent. The only thing I found a bit unusual was staying in a room with a slow-descent escape device. The pool and sauna facilities were fantastic and I really enjoyed them. Breakfast was even more impressive, with many specialty dishes and unique cooking methods that left a lasting impression.

This hotel is very thoughtful. The lobby offers complimentary cookies and drinks 24 hours a day. I was pleasantly surprised to find three flavors of handmade cookies, and the coffee machine had my favorite beverages. There were also two flavors of soda in the mini-fridge nearby. The room was clean, and the game room had a great variety of options, so much so that the kids didn't want to leave. The gym had two full-body massage chairs, which were very comfortable, and the breakfast was also quite good.

This was a two-day, one-night stay (checking in Sunday, checking out Monday). It happened to rain heavily, so we mostly stayed in the hotel. It was clean and tidy, and the soundproofing wasn't bad. The room was also spacious. However, the elevator wait was quite long. I can't imagine how long you'd have to wait on a peak day. (I finished my drink while waiting!) The parking lot was fine, though. I had seen some comments saying the parking lot was dirty, but it was acceptable when I went.

We traveled from Hong Kong and specifically booked this hotel because it was convenient for visiting the King of Egypt exhibition at the Chimei Museum. The hotel's soundproofing is excellent, but what truly stands out is that the water for showering and washing hands in the room is specially treated to remove calcium and magnesium. At first, it felt a bit strange when washing, but after looking it up online, we learned that this ultra-soft water is very good for the skin! By the next morning, the acne on my forehead was already fading! Secondly, the breakfast was memorable, with dishes like Hakka stir-fry and cold bitter melon salad. The flavors were unique, and my friend and I both found them delicious, as it's hard to find these tastes in Hong Kong! This was my first time in Tainan, and I'm very satisfied with the place. I believe I'll be back soon to enjoy the ultra-soft water showers and delicious food again!

What to know before visiting Tainan

Overview of Tainan’s experiences and busiest rhythms

Tainan is a compact city known for museums, zoos & aquariums, historical sites and parks, with a travel year that swings between busy festival months and quiet late-summer lull. Klook booking data shows clear peaks and troughs, so many attractions follow a seasonal rhythm rather than steady demand.

When to visit for crowds and prices

Klook data marks January and several late-year months as the busiest, while August is the quietest month of the year. Prices drift up and down through the year: they’re typically lowest around July and stay relatively low into August and September, then climb toward peaks in late-year and spring months — May is shown as one of the priciest for past bookings. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for July–August; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for January or the late-year busy months. Where demand is high, prices generally rise too, but there are months where demand and price move differently, so compare both when you plan.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia typically book activities a few days ahead, with a common lead time of around three days, though some planners lock things in much earlier. If you’re flexible, many experiences can be arranged at short notice; if you prefer certainty during the peak months mentioned above, consider booking earlier on Klook to secure preferred time slots.
