Shennong Street feels like stepping into a charming time capsule, where history meets creativity. Lined with beautifully preserved traditional houses, the street is alive with boutique shops, art galleries, and cozy cafés. Lanterns strung across the alley cast a warm glow as you wander through, browsing handmade trinkets and unique souvenirs. As night falls, the atmosphere turns magical, with soft music and the buzz of friendly locals sharing stories. It’s the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern artistry—an experience that lingers long after your visit. I recommend to visit here at night as most of the shops and vendors will be open during this timing. Additionally, be sure to make the effort to explore the boutique stores as they do offer unique items which in my personal experience, can't be found in other parts of Taiwan. #travel#couplestrip#familytravel#china#trip

Tainan West Central District/Benzhi Coffee☕️ I happened to pass by this shop near Shennong Street a few days ago. It was quite special. I was attracted by the rich plants outside. The layout inside was also very different. One side was a cafe, and the other side was like an indoor garden🌸. They sold many different kinds of flowers and plants~ There were also small bouquets that could be bought directly! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

I have visited Tainan several times, but this was a place I had not managed to visit until now. I stopped by on my way back from the night market! It was full of nostalgic atmosphere. At this Instagram-worthy spot, everyone was stopping to take photos. Even though it was a weekday, there were quite a few people around. There were shops like bag stores, but it seemed more like a place to enjoy the atmosphere rather than to shop. Rather than going out of your way, it might be better to just stop by when you're in the area for something else.

With a history of over 300 years, Shennong Street is the best-preserved old street attraction in Tainan. As early as the Qing Dynasty, Shennong Street was the main downtown street in the Wutiao Port area. Many houses still retain the appearance of the Qing Dynasty and the early Japanese colonial period. In recent years, with the entry of many Shennong Street restaurants, bars, homestays and cultural and creative stores that have been transformed from old houses, as well as the Jinhua Mansion, the Taiwan-first Yaowang Temple, the Yongchuan sedan chair and other city-designated historical sites, Shennong Street seems to have been reborn and has become a popular attraction that must be visited and photographed when visiting Tainan.

This Shennong Street is a route that many people would take photos of when they come to Tainan. Especially one of the filming locations of the movie "The Chef" The approximately 100-meter-long street retains many ancient retro appearances and buildings. It is the best-preserved old street in Tainan City and the main base of Wujiaogang Cultural Park. This street, which is more than 300 years old, is full of retro feeling. Walking into the alley feels like walking through a time tunnel The shops next to it are full of literary and creative products. There are handmade shops, markets, snacks, pubs, and B&Bs. And it becomes more beautiful as the night goes on. It is definitely worth visiting here to check out! #Tainan #Tainan Attractions

The meaning of travel is to act spontaneously and to satisfy your desire to explore the world even if the rain never stops. Even though I have been to Shennong Street several times, it was always during good weather and daytime. This time, holding an umbrella made me fall in love with its beauty even more! We walked along this street, passing through one shop after another selling goods of different styles. The shop owners were still very enthusiastic and greeted us warmly, making us like the literary and artistic atmosphere here even more! The lanterns at the intersection made us feel like we were in Japan. The rain kept falling, but our hearts were filled with satisfaction. #全家出游 #岛假期 #夏去哪

Tainan Attractions-Shennong Street Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been an important river port entrance to the Wujiaogang area in Tainan. At that time, merchants entered and exited Tainan through this street. It was the most lively area at that time, and a historically interesting place has come again. After a hundred years of evolution, the original river port has now become a road in the city. The streets were already dilapidated due to old age. In recent years, it has become a distribution center for cultural and creative arts. People in Tainan sometimes jokingly call Shennong Street a "holy land for literary youths". The shops on both sides of the street are full of handmade style.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It is quite interesting to visit Shennong Street in the afternoon. The most attractive thing is the lanterns of various colors hanging high all over the street. It is great for taking photos no matter it is day or evening! The sunlight shines through the lanterns onto the brick walls of the old street, creating a gentle and retro atmosphere. There are many cute cultural and creative shops, small bars and dessert shops on the street, which makes it very pleasant to walk around. Compared to the crowded night, Shennong Street is quieter in the afternoon, and you can slowly appreciate the details of the old buildings. It is highly recommended for people who like taking photos or like the atmosphere of the old street to come here for a walk!

#AustraliaFlightEvent Shennong Street 神農街 Shennong St, West Central District Is it like Ikseon-dong in Seoul, Korea? It's an alley full of a cute feeling. I hoped it wouldn't be too commercial. But actually, when you go to a tourist destination, it's a huge contradiction to hope it's not commercial. But since this is a street that represents Tainan, it's a street that you should definitely visit at least once. I think it used to be a little smaller than this? It was a smaller alley than I thought, so I saw everything quickly. If you want to buy a souvenir, it seems like you can buy it here.

#Spring0yenTrip I went to Shennong Street in the afternoon, and there were few people there, so it wasn't as crowded as it was at night, and it was very easy to walk around. Perhaps it was a remnant of the Chinese New Year, but the area was decorated with seasonal lanterns, and I felt a more cheerful atmosphere than when I visited before. As always, it has an antique feel and is worth a visit. In March, flowers such as azaleas were in bloom, and it was very beautiful. I walked through it as if it was a quick stroll, but if you have the time, it might be good to take your time and look at each house one by one. #TaiwanTrip #TainanTourism #ShennongStreet

Both are worth visiting. The museum is very big. Friends who like taking pictures can really stay for a long time. I also visited several different temples this time. Tainan is the place with the most temples in Taiwan. I will visit more different temples next time.

Today I’d like to introduce a must-visit and must-eat spot in Tainan—Shennong Street🟠🟡🟢🔵. Shennong Street, which has a history of more than 300 years, is one of the best-preserved old streets in Tainan. In the past, Shennong Street was the main prosperous street in Wujiao Port Area, and it still retains many of the original architectural features. In recent years, many old houses have been renovated and turned into gathering places for food, bars, homestays and cultural and creative stores, making Shennong Street a popular tourist attraction in Tainan🏮. Various shops and stalls gather here, and trade activities are very active. It feels like walking in the streets of time, experiencing the charm of the fusion of the old and the new😎. Handmade lanterns can be seen everywhere on the streets🏮, each pattern is unique and beautiful😍. Shennong Street not only has restaurants, but also coffee shops, bars, izakayas, cultural and creative stores and dessert shops🍮, which is very suitable for shopping✨. Today we made a reservation at Wu Liu Shou Yakitori (restaurant information is included below). The whole restaurant is antique and the skewers are delicious. The beef belly and beef short ribs skewers are recommended. The chicken skewers are also good. There are also delicacies such as Mentaiko yam, grilled salmon belly, clam broth, stir-fried tofu and fried rice. Remember to book in advance, otherwise there may be no seats on site 😂. If you go to Tainan, I strongly recommend you to go to Shennong Street and enjoy the food and culture💕💕. 🏮Wu Liushou Skewer Restaurant 📍Address: No. 49, Shennong Street, West Central District, Tainan City, 700 Business hours: 18:00–01:00 Tel: 06-2210066 (advance reservation recommended) #Romantic Life Recorder #Tainan Tourism #Tainan Must Visit #Taiwan Must Eat #Skewer #Sightseeing Attractions

Shennong Street is a little over 100 meters long and is a place that people can't help but want to visit often. The shops along the street sell a wide variety of small accessories, which are very pleasing to the eye. The best time to come is probably at night, firstly because the temperature drops, and secondly because the lanterns are all lit up at night, which is very dazzling. One hour is enough to eat, drink, walk around and see the sights. #TainanStore #Tainan #TainanSnack

Shennong Street in Tainan is an alley full of historical charm, retaining the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty and the early Japanese colonial period. 🌟 Walking along this street, it feels like traveling through time, feeling the interweaving of ancient and modern times. 🏮 Shennong Street at night is even more charming, and the street decorated with lights is full of romance and mystery. ✨ #Tainan #Taiwan #Shennong Street #History and Culture #Night View

"Shennong Street" seems particularly quiet at noon, with few tourists and many shops not yet open for business. It seems that the charm here will only be truly revealed at night! 😅 #Homestay in the ancient town #Sharing cultural attractions #Romance through the millennium #I explore the intangible cultural heritage in the streets #Homestay in the scenery #Slow-paced travel #Taiwan travel

I like Tainan, a place with both the city and the harbor, as well as culture and nature. I came here twice to walk around and eat, and it still wasn’t enough. 🥳 Here is a detailed guide for a two-day tour. It is not a very detailed sharing of the tour sites, so there will be a lot of personal preferences, please bear with me. 🥹 DAY1️⃣: West Central District Art Museum/Literature Museum/Library➡️Sicao Green Tunnel➡️Sunset Viewing Platform➡️Garden Night Market➡️Shennong Street Because the youth hostel is in West Central District, the morning usually starts from nearby (btw Tainan youth hostels are really good value for money and very comfortable🥲). There are many exhibition halls here, you can visit according to your interests and time. Please note that they are closed on Mondays⚠️ (P2) 🌟Tainan Literature Museum Great! If you are particularly interested, you can even spend half a day looking at it slowly. There will be enthusiastic tour guides to explain each area. Last time I went there, there was a banned book exhibition and a modernist literature exhibition. The combination of text, video and music was great, it was highly interactive, and there were many interesting game designs. Even if you are not very interested in literature, it is worth a look~ 🌟Sicao Green Tunnel It takes an hour to take bus No. 99 from the city center. It is said to be called the Little Amazon, but it is actually an artificial river. The boat ride takes more than 20 minutes. There are explanations introducing the vegetation and animals. The trees on both sides are lush, but there are not many animals to be seen. 🌟 Sunset Viewing Platform Route 99 will pass by the Sunset Viewing Platform on the way back from Sicao, which is a good place to watch the sunset at the seaside. The blues afterwards will also be very beautiful. On the way back, please note that it is difficult to get a taxi here. I waited for about 20 minutes. I was so hungry that I bought 40 pieces of egg and scallion pancakes across the street. They were surprisingly delicious😋 🌟 Garden Night Market It seems to be the largest night market? It is open every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. If you visit many night markets, it won’t be very surprising. It is also a bit far. I think it is not as good as Yongle Market. I ate these⬇️ ✅Hongfei Large Intestine Sausage 70 sets, the basil was too strong and it really shocked me🥲. ✅Chen Damin Spicy Duck Blood 80 pig intestines plus fish balls, the food is delicious and the soup is tasty, and most importantly, there are seats. ✅Winter Melon Snow Ice Cream 40 sets, I have never had it, so I bought it to try. It is a bit like a little bit of milk tea with ice cream, but it is too sweet for me. 🌟Shennong Street The lanterns are very beautiful at night, and there is a grandpa playing the violin~ There are many cultural and creative products, and some stalls with good quality and low prices, which need to be carefully visited. There is a good old bookstore called "Wu Tiao Gang Hang Hao". There are many vintage postcards with unique designs. I came back with a lot of stuff🥺 🌃It was past nine o'clock when I went back. There were no cars in Tainan at this time. The busy streets during the day became quiet. The summer night breeze was especially comfortable~ #台灣 #台南 #台灣旅遊

🌞 Tainan in May is sunny and perfect for relaxing. The first day's journey started from Taipei. It only took two hours to reach Tainan by high-speed rail, and then took a train into the city. 🚄💸2700/person. It is recommended to check the train timetable in advance to ensure a smooth connection. 🏍️ After arriving in Tainan, go to Yongxin Xingxing to rent a motorcycle, which is located in front of the right side of Tainan Station.

It cost me 350 yuan. Then we checked into Shiguang Room, which is a small house combining a cafe and a flower room B&B.

The owner thoughtfully adjusted the wrist circumference on the spot. 🍔 The last stop is the Carbon Manbao, where we tasted ice and fire + condensed milk and bacon crispy omelette, 90 yuan/2 people, and the taste was surprising. At the end of the day, we visited Tianyouxian again and enjoyed the nectar fountain, 130 yuan/2 people. 🤭 #Tainan Travel #Tainan Food #Tainan Attractions

The nights here are full of romance, and the ancient streets look particularly charming under the lights. Whether strolling around or tasting authentic snacks, it is a pleasure. 😊 #Tainan #TainanTravel #TainanFood

🌟 Tainan Shennong Street is very lively at night. I have been to Tainan many times, and this time I happened to stay in a nearby B&B, which is only a 3-minute walk away. 🏠 There are fashionable handmade shops, cafes, ice houses, pubs in the ancient buildings... It is a great place for a night tour. 🌃 #台南神农街 #台南旅游 #城市中烟火氣 #走街串巷找美食 #我的旅行日记

Tainan is both artistic and retro, and it looks as beautiful as a pictorial in just a few snaps! 🌆 I didn't plan ahead, I just went out for a walk every day when I woke up, and when I got tired, I went shopping🚴‍♂️. I happened to run into the lantern festival and the market, so I bought a lot...🛍️ 1. Zhengxing and Guohua shopping districts are good to visit, and the temple fair is on Shennong Street🏮. 2. All American Cinema, where I was introduced to Ang Lee’s movies. They’re showing some movies now 🎬~ When I went there, they were showing Venom and Transformers, as well as two cartoons. 3. There is a primary school next to the Confucius Temple, and there are turtles in the pond🐢. 4. The Literature Museum is worth visiting. I didn’t have time to see the special exhibition, but the interaction and guided tours were very good. Closed on Mondays, don't miss out. 5. If you want to shop, you can go to Hayashi Department Store. In addition to souvenirs, there are also some local bags and jewelry👜. 6. The food in Tainan is sweeter, and people from the north may not be used to it. I personally cannot tolerate the sweet taste of fried food (not dessert) and rice. The pot-fried pasta and oyster noodles that I randomly walked into on the roadside are very good, and the traditional almond tofu is a must-try! 🍜 #NewYearCityWalk #WalkAround #Tainan
