Tainan: Milkfish Museum Guided Tour & Milkfish Ball DIY 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.

Our first time making milkfish balls DIY was more fun than we imagined! From shaping them into balls to cooking them, every step felt very engaging. The fish balls we made ourselves were especially springy and chewy, and we gained a better understanding of how milkfish balls are made. Both adults and children had a great time, making it a perfect family activity.

The fish balls are delicious and the story of milkfish is introduced in detail. The tour guide enthusiastically introduces Yuguang Island, and the tour guide also helps to take a lot of photos

We were lucky enough to meet the boss who personally explained the value of milkfish to us. During this period, we felt that the boss was very enthusiastic about promoting milkfish, and we also learned how to cook milkfish correctly. Overall, it’s a recommended itinerary

The proprietress explained the making of fish balls very carefully. The swing by the lake next to the pavilion is very suitable for taking pictures

Only experience milkfish DIY at the scene, there is no guide on Yuguang Island. The DIY experience of milkfish balls is very interesting. You can listen to stories about milkfish while doing it. However, there is still some room for optimization of the exquisiteness of the whole event. For example, the TV where the movie is shown is too small and far from the table by the window. However, only a brief introduction to the map of the island was provided, and no local tour guide was experienced. (Until now I know that there is only one tour guide that day, and he has already taken the team in front of him.)
