2025 Yongkang District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 In order to find places with English place names in Taiwan, I followed the map and came to Xianghe Park in Yongkang. The park's predecessor was the Christian Mount Olive Camp, which was founded by Pastor Wei Dekai and his wife. The overall environment of Xianghe Park is quite quiet. Although the area is not large, it has all the facilities that a general park should have. The Yongkang English font we are looking for is on the Shengxue Road side. The steel-framed corridor built with orange as the main color is also known as the Taiwan version of Torii. Above the corridor there is a sign in white English font called Yongkang. I haven’t counted how many place names in English fonts I have collected so far. I dare not claim to be the first, but it should be more than enough to be ranked second.

In the Greater Tainan area, besides the hotels concentrated in the Central and Western Districts, there is also the Queena Plaza Hotel in Yongkang District, which is renowned for its seafood buffet. Although it is not located in the popular old town area, it is close to the Yongkang Interchange, making it more convenient for travelers driving by car. The Queena Plaza Hotel occupies a large area, with a significant portion dedicated to garden landscaping. The tropical island resort-style garden, complete with small bridges and pavilions, exudes a strong Southeast Asian vibe, making it a popular spot for wedding photoshoots and boosting the hotel's wedding banquet business. The grand lobby, with its impressive crystal chandeliers, and the lounge and corridors leading to the second and third floors are adorned with books, giving it a library-like ambiance that is very Instagram-worthy. However, the most popular feature of the hotel is the Ali Seafood Buffet, which is said to be so abundant and sumptuous that even famous buffets in the north cannot compare! The basic room type at Queena Plaza Hotel is 30 square meters, with a weekday rate of around NT$4500 for a double room with breakfast. This price is not cheap and is comparable to the Tainan Yambar Hotel. The room design follows a Southeast Asian resort style, with lake-green carpets and sofas, providing a very relaxing and comfortable stay experience. However, since Queena Plaza Hotel is near the Yongkang Interchange, driving into the city can easily lead to traffic jams. It is recommended to spend an entire day at the hotel, indulging in the seafood buffet and enjoying all the resort facilities leisurely. The next day, you can switch to a hotel in the Central and Western Districts to explore the old streets of the city.

Tainan’s super popular and long-lined store “Jin Tao’s Strawberry Daifuku”, I finally got it thanks to my friend! Although it is called Strawberry Daifuku, what attracted me was its variety of unexpected fruit fillings. This time I bought the seasonal limited edition "Mandarin Red Bean", "Banana Red Bean Milk" and "Chestnut Taro". I thought it was delicious right from the moment it was packaged (what’s the appearance association?), and I was even more amazed when I ate it. The skin is still chewy when eaten directly after refrigeration, and the ratio with the filling is just right. It’s not dry at all to the point of choking. I equate daifuku with strawberries in life, but I didn’t expect that I would become a fan of banana daifuku after eating it. Jintao’s creative strawberry daifuku is worth recommending!

The chopped green onion pancakes are only available at the Kunshan market one day a week. Every time I go there, I am attracted by the variety of flavors. The original chopped green onion flavor is delicious, and the cheese and red bean flavors are the most recommended. The plump chive rolls are also a must-buy item.

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent Address: No. 17, Lane 31, Section 2, Jinshan S Rd, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106 Probably the most famous beef noodle restaurant in Yongkang Street is Yongkang beef noodleㅎㅎ I went there for lunch, and as expected, there were a lot of people. I ordered spicy beef beef noodle and jajangmyeon, but personally, I thought the beef noodle was tastier!

#October travel support event Come and eat Address: No. 7-1, Lane 85, Section 2, Jinshan S Rd, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106 I went to a restaurant in Yongkang Street, Taipei that my friend recommended~ I thought it would be hard to find because the name was in Chinese characters, but when I looked at Google Maps and went there, it wasn’t that far from Yongkang Street’s main street! It was interesting to be able to choose the type of noodles, and it was a chance to try a different kind of beef noodle :)

Located in the newly opened Dongqiao community of Yongkang District, Tainan City "This pot is a bit strong, Xiaozu casserole chicken rice" The whole restaurant sells Sichuan cuisine So you must order a bowl of pickled fish pot The key point is that each dish is only about 139, and you can eat it - The pickled fish here is really delicious The fish fillet is super full of ingredients, plus the soup is not too sour And it is a bit spicy, so I ate the whole pot - If you come to Tainan for tourism, you can try it #Tainan Attractions #Sour Fish #Tainan Food #Tainan Dongqiao #Tainan City

Address: No. 460, Zhonghua Road, Yongkang District, Tainan City Atmosphere/Facilities: Traditional family-style restaurant Specialties: Stir-fried lamb, lamb soup, lamb hot pot Average Price: 100 TWD Rating: Discovered this family-style stir-fried lamb restaurant by chance on Zhonghua Road while heading towards the highway from Tainan! Their main feature is the lamb hot pot with Angelica soup base! They also offer quick stir-fried lamb dishes! The lamb rice is quite moist, with a slightly sweet satay flavor! The taste is on the lighter side, so additional seasoning or spicy bean paste is recommended! The lamb fried noodles are also light in flavor, so adding some chili sauce is suggested! The stir-fried bamboo shoots have a spicy and slightly sour taste! The Angelica lamb bone soup is very delicious, with a rich marrow flavor! Straws are provided!

They have white and black douhua. They use different beans, and you can choose up to two toppings. I chose pearl (tapioca) and lemon. I haven't been to the main store in Anping yet, but I tried this one first, which opened early. There are a fair number of seats, and two groups of people visited while we were eating. It's a relaxed atmosphere where you can eat at your own pace. Chihkan Tower is right nearby, and the tofu and tapioca were delicious! I wish I had a second helping... #douhua #anping #taiwantrip #tainan #0yentrip #travelwithme

Foods I enjoyed at the tomato beef noodle shop next to Taipei Yongkang Park.. Taiwanese fried rice is delicious, with each grain of rice well-coated without being sticky, and the beef noodle is also chewy and really good..

Yong Kang

It closed at the end of March 2024. The soy milk in the douhua is very thick, and the sweet Tieguanyin sauce is very rich. I like the Job's Tears topping, so I've had the same douhua every time I've visited. I also liked the cute atmosphere of the shop. In addition to douhua, they also have soy milk soft serve ice cream, which I've tried. The soy milk soft serve ice cream wasn't too sweet, and I liked the taste. It really tastes like tofu, so some people might find it lacking. I hope they'll make a comeback somewhere. #NiyoshikenSoyMilk #DongMen #TaiwanTrip #Douhua

#Overseas travel 🏡 Kyomachi Yamamotoya (reservation required)Kyomachi Yamamotoya ◽️No. 143, Jinhua St, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106 ◽️11:00 AM ~ 8:00 PM Dango that was not so good in Japan..! I tasted the best dango in Taiwan It is a Japanese cafe and restaurant located on Longjin Gorgeous Time Street! They say you can also experience tatami seating and wearing a kimono. You have to order $300 per person, so I recommend visiting and enjoying both food and drinks.

I highly recommend the sugar cane lemon Americano! The store’s own specially made sugar cane lemon is not too sour, and the light sweetness goes well with American style! There are also desserts in the store, such as matcha crepe or brownie. I like them very much😍

Rui Ling Mainland Chinese Noodles Yong Kang Qi Jian Store has a spacious store with air-conditioning, beautiful environment and a rockery and waterfall. It is really relaxing and enjoyable to dine there. A meal for two people costs a moderate price of 475, but I think it is worth it! There are always long queues every time I go there. There are two free parking lots, which is very convenient!

This restaurant is located right at the intersection of Zhonghua Road, Yongkang District, and the parking space is also very convenient. However, the owner is a bit picky about the food, but I find it very cheap and delicious. Another minus point is that even though the bowl is chipped, the restaurant still takes it out for customers to eat. In short, it is worth trying anyway. There are many duck dishes here. The price of many dishes is less than 100
