I don’t remember what age I was when Tom Sawyer’s Island was the best part of Disneyland for me, but whenever I was that age, wow I would have loved this Drum place. It looks like a lot of fun, especially given the usual options for young people in Taiwan.
Now I suspect I’d just injure myself several times over. And get a sunburn. And maybe a headache too. Oh, and whine about the kids.
Cosplaying Kiki the teenage witch from Ghibli studio’s Kiki’s delivery service.
Pretty WTF if you ask me.
There’s also Dingtoue sandbar a bit further northml. Nearby there’s Qigu salt mountain. The second one’s definitely a tourist tra but still, the youngling might enjoy climbing a giant moutain of salt. Both might be too hot for summer time though.
By the way, I haven’t been to this one, since it is a newer attraction, but there is also 雙春濱海遊憩區-Vanaheim愛莊園 that seems like the greatest hits of mangrove fun.
In the city, there’s also Barclay memorial park.
You can tell your kids about Rev. Dr. Thomas Barclay, the person who brought the first print press and published the first news paper in Taiwan in 1885. He also negotiated the surrender of Tainan city to the Japanese, avoiding bloodshed and raid in 1895.
That photo may belong in the peak woke thread. 
We stayed there one night, it’s sleeping in igloo type huts. It’s very close to a beach. Kind of cool place.
I’ve heard of seeing fireworks, but I’ve never heard of doing fireworks. How does one do fireworks?
light the fuse and run
Well, I guess at least the “running” part is an energetic activity.
Well, there’s also setting it up, mixing compositions, making shells, rockets, fountains, etc.
Don’t smoke while doing it or else it will get extremely energetic.
I’m curious what sites/attractions/parks parents would recommend to entertain a nearly 4 year old in Tainan?
謝謝你們
My kids had a blast here.
Anping Tree House is fun, it’s an old house enveloped by banyan trees.
Anping Fort is in the same area and worth a look.
My experience with our now four-year old is that he is interested in almost everything, cause everything is new to him. While Tainan’s history sounds kind of boring, it probably is not. The Anping Canal cruise is kind of fun, also visiting the warship museum. They did have Snoopy images there recently not sure if it’s still the case. Also Yuguang Island has a good beach with cool sunsets.
