Annan District

I had booked a Japanese-language tour to visit the salt fields, but it was cancelled. I then received a call asking if I would like to join a Chinese-language tour the following day. Since I was planning to stay in Tainan that night as well, I accepted. The tour included 40 minutes of free time in Anping, 30 minutes of free time at the next temple, and we arrived at the salt fields just as the sun was setting. The weather was nice, and many people were setting up their cameras and taking pictures. I was glad there was a tour, as it seemed difficult to visit the salt fields alone. On the way back, I was dropped off at Shennong Street and enjoyed the lively atmosphere. I had received explanations via Line, but one of the other passengers on the tour spoke Japanese, so they also gave me explanations. Thank you to our driver, Kou.

The owner is very nice, the cruise includes commentary, and the oysters are incredibly fresh 🦪. Highly recommend this amazing tour!

In May 2026, two companies will operate the boats, with different schedules. Please confirm the departure rules before purchasing to avoid long waits. You need to exchange your ticket for a paper ticket at the temple's service desk before proceeding to the waiting area, where there are chairs and air conditioning, but beware of mosquitoes.
