Day 01
Tainan City Walk to the Confucius Temple
- We will begin the tour in the streets of Tainan and walk over to admire the facade of the Tainan Literature Museum.
- Next, we will walk towards the biggest roundabout in the city, where the guide will show you the current fire department, which used to be a research building and was the tallest tower in Tainan in the early 1900s.
- Finally, as we make our way to the Confucius Temple, we will look at the pagoda of the Taoist God. The guide will show you some impressive stone carvings and lion statues at the main entrance. We will see the draining hole dragon and traditional musical instruments on display, and explore the school attached to the temple.
- After admiring the stone tablets with a map of the temple area and learning about some recorded history, we will visit the stone gate, which once stood in front of the temple but was moved across the street to make space for the road.
- As we admire this magnificent gate, the guide will tell you the stories behind the unusual appearance of the lion statues - a perfect cultural detail to take home with you at the end of the tour.
