Tainan's main points of interest are in the old downtown section, stretching east to west between Chihkan Towers and the railway station, north to south between Chungshan Park and Koxinga's Shrine. Exploring the city by foot, day or night, is delightful.

Tainan is an old city, so it has so many temples and old villages. In Tainan, the main attraction of course is the temples.

Landmarks and Historical sites in Tainan Such as :
1. Eternal Golden Fortress (億載金城 Yì Zài Jīnchéng), 16 Nanwen, Anping District - a 19th century coastal fortress. Hours: 9AM-5PM.

3. National Museum of Taiwanese Literature Located in a restored colonial-era Japanese building, even with the limited English on display this museum is fascinating. The coffee shop is good too

Keelung City (基隆) is a city in the northeastern part of Taiwan. It borders Taipei County and forms the Taipei-Keelung metropolitan area, along with the City and County of Taipei. Keelung is Taiwan's second largest seaport (after Kaohsiung). Keelung is nicknamed "The Rainy Port" (雨港). Also Keelung was first lived by the Ketagalan, a tribe of Taiwanese aborigine.

A must see is the Night Market - a colourful, busy and bustling affair that attracts people from Taiwan and many tourists.

Although Taiwan now just got a disaster from Typhoon Morakot, but it is fortunately that Keelung and surrounding areas are still far from the tyhoon which had killed more than 500 peoples in South Taiwan. So it is still safe to visit Keelung city.

Keelung Nightlife

Keelung Nighlife may not so busy and glitzy as Taipei. Not so many nightclub and bars in Keelung. But Keelung famous for its night market and delicous food.

Keelung's Miaokou Night Market or Temple Mouth is famous throughout Taiwan for its large selection of food. It meanders through lanes and alleys in the downtown area surrounding the Dianji Temple (奠濟宮). There is actually a functional temple but it's practically buried under all the market stalls. Food stands line the open space between the gate and the door while vendors sell clothing and other trinkets on surrounding streets. Keelung is sprawling and very popular.

The night market is easily accessible on foot for most travelers arriving from other cities. From the Keelung railway station walk east straight along the street following the harbor in the direction of the Keelung Harbor Bureau (identifiable at night by its large orange neon sign. The night market is roughly one block from the point where you cross a freeway overpass.

Hualien Beautiful Liyu Lake and Taroko Gorge

Hualien City (花蓮市) is the capital city of Hualien County in Taiwan. Located on a strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Central Mountain Range, Hualien is considered one of the most pleasant cities in Taiwan. Many tourists visit the city to enjoy the scenery and fresh air and also to tour the famous Taroko Gorge, which is located a few miles north of the city.

Hualien County neighbors the Pacific Ocean, and is also next to the grand Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. The county is not a very populated region with about 350,000 citizens, due to the mountainous topography.

The mountains, white water rapids, cliffs, waterfalls, and precipices in Taroko National Park represent the splendid landscape in Hualien. The Liyu Lake also has gorgeous scenery and provides fishing and boating fun. In addition, East Coast National Scenic Area, East Rift Valley Scenic Area, and Yushan National Park make Hualien County the most beautiful county in Taiwan.

How to access Hualien :
Hualien is accessible by rail from the Taipei Main Station and other main station in Taiwan to Hualien Station by taking Taroko Express and Tzu-Chiang Train service which provided by the Taiwan Railway Administration.

Hualien has a recently renovated commercial airport that serves domestic flights and international charters. Hualien Airport is a popular transit hub for visitors going to nearby Taroko National Park.

For driving from Taipei, you can use National Highway No. 5 (Chiang Wei-shui Memorial Freeway) from Taipei to Su-ao, Yilan, and connect to Provincial Highway No. 9 (Su-hua Provincial Highway) from Su-ao to Hualien.

2. The Abode of Still Thoughts.
This small Buddhist temple at the foot of Mount North Jialiwan is the original facility of the world-famous Tzu-zhi Buddhist foundation. In keeping with the foundation's ideals, the temple is very simple, and incorporates a Japanese style garden. Information on Tzu-chi's international activities is also available at the temple.
3. Yenpin Prefectural Temple, near Zhongyang Road, sec 4. Established in the Qing Dynasty, this is the oldest temple in Hualien.

The beach isn't popular for swimming, though, as the tides and currents are quite dangerous, the bottom drops off steeply, and doesn't have much sand (mostly pebbles). It is important to stay near the coast.
6. Hualien County Stone Sculpture Museum at the Hualien County Cultural Center displays both traditional and contemporary stone sculptures. Open daily 9am-5pm. Admission fee: NT$20.



Things to do in Hualien :

Taichung Night Bars Pubs and Markets

Taichung (台中市 or Tai Zhong Shi) is the third largest city in Taiwan after Taipei and Kaohsiung. Taichung is located in west-central Taiwan with a population of just over one million people.

Taichung is a city with pleasant climate on the west coast of central Taiwan. The city is home to many manufacturers and in recent years has undergone a rapid growth of various cultural venues. Traffic in Taichung is better than in Kaohsiung or Taipei, though parking a car is still tricky.

Among the activities to catch when visiting Taichung: the world-class science museum and hiking in the nearby hills. There are also many famous night markets that provide night-time excitement.

In Taichung you you can enjoy delicious food and drink, and find cheap and interesting items for sale. These include the ChungHwa night market (中華夜市), the Feng-Chia university night market (逢甲夜市), the Tung-Hai university night market (東海夜市), and the Chung-Shiao night market (忠孝夜市)).

Taichung has so many temples, as any other cities in Taiwan. But temples in Taichung are extremely widely spreading, such as Confucius Temple, Martyr’s Shrine, Pao Hueh Temple, Cheng Huang Temple, Wan Chun Temple, Li Ancestral Shrine, Wen Chang Temple, Le Cheng Temple, and Wan He Temple.

How to access Taichung :

Arrive by air. Taichung does not have an international airport. However, it is only a short flight from all of Taiwan’s major cities. The airport is conveniently located a short taxi ride away from downtown.

Arrive by train. Taichung is a short ride from Taipei and is connected by high-speed and regular rail to all of Taiwan’s major cities.

Arrive by bus. Taichung is connected by both luxury and regular bus to all of Taiwan’s major cities. Taichung’s bus routes terminate both in the west end of the city and close to the train station. Visitors should pay attention to which station is indicated on their ticket.


Taichung Nightlife

Taichung has a huge KTVs where you can sing old classics, hip lounge bars, modern night clubs, beer houses and places that specialize in live music.

Some people may not too impressed by the night spots, but Taichung has many good restaurants. The best so far has been Smooth, which is the sister property of Fatty's. Both are owned and operated by a nice fellow named Hendrik Frijling and his wife. The address is No.1 Ching-Cheng Road, Lane 50, in Little Europe, which is directly across the street from the Evergreen Hotel. Phone number is 04-2319-4898.

There are places that can kept you awake are the Pig Pen in Chi Chi, and a place called Coyote Ugly in the Tiger City Mall. You will enjoy the live music joint called 99, and another one that was okay called Animal House, both on Hsiang Shang Road. Everything else was a flop.

Taichung bars, and Nightclub :

Pubs and restaurants are often two or three stories and the discos frequently large enough to conduct military maneuvers in. Even better, the prices make us up here in Taipei recall the 1980's - which goes a long way towards covering the cost of a hotel.

Like to start the evening at a quieter place with style or unique character? One great place to get started is La Bodega (3, JingCheng 2nd St; 04-2310-7006), a Spanish-run bar that is cozy and specialises in great snacks (Spanish Tapas) mixed with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. If you like to sit outside, you can't go wrong with PJ's Cafe (23 DaYe Rd; 04- 2325-2457), with their pleasant indoor pub and a nice outdoor bistro area that is good for people-watching. Taichung even has an Irish bar in O'Chang's (Closed).

If you're feeling dressy or simply like a nice sofa, be sure to check out one of the many lounge bars in the city. Crystal (120-3 ZhongHua Rd Sec 2, B1; 04-2208-6206) and Escape (45-2, TaiZhongGang Rd Sec 2; 04-2328-0768) are both small, cozy and high-end establishments perfect for a date or meeting with friends. Liquid Lounge (98, ZhongMing S. Rd; 04-3601-9980) is classy and comfortable during the week, but frequently hosts the hottest parties in town during the weekend. Also, be sure to check out J&J Jeay & Jazz Bar (91, DaYe Rd; 04-2310-0136).

No night out is complete without some dancing. Taichung's answer to MoS is Mint 27 (Taichung Central Dept. Store, 10F - 186, FuXing Rd, Sec 4; 04-3608-0599), a hotspot that features the best local DJs and performers (like Wu Bai and Power Station) as well as many international acts. A popular night spot for the over-25 set is the Pig Pen (41, DaGuan Rd; 04- 2383-4456), with a British-themed pub downstairs and a disco upstairs.

To wind down at a late night spot, and if burgers in a friendly attractive bar sounds good then be sure to drop by Peggy's Circle Bar (16-1, JingCheng 1st St; 04-2329-3998). Another spot which always retains a party atmosphere well into the late evening is 89K (89, ZhongMing S Rd; 04-2320-7010), a place where motorcycle enthusiasts mix with late night revellers for some high octane fun.

Kaohsiung Nightlife bars Night Market

Kaohsiung (高雄 or Gao Xiong in Hanyu Pinyin) is the second largest city in Taiwan, and located in southwestern Taiwan. It is enclosed by Kaohsiung County, and faces the Taiwan Strait on the west.

An international airport, the terminal of Sun Yat-sen Freeway, and the railway stations of Western Line and Taiwan High Speed Rail, are also located in Kaohsiung. The city is also home to Taiwan's navy.

Kaohsiung was the host city of the 2009 World Games, a multisport event primarily composed of sports not featured in the Olympic Games.

Going to Kaohsiung, don't miss this spot and main attractions :

1. The Cijin District (旗津). Located on a slender island in Kaohsiung harbor which serves as a natural breakwater for the harbor. The district is filled with seafood restaurants selling freshly caught seafood which can be prepared right after you pick it out. Cijin is connected to the rest of Kaohsiung City by underwater tunnels, but the transporation of choice is one of the many ferries that traverse the harbor. Fare for the ferry ride is NT$15 per person. The area is especially crowded on weekends with many visitors bringing their entire family along.

2. Dream Mall (夢時代購物中心). The largest shopping mall in Taiwan and 2nd largest in Asia (07/2008). The mall is a bit out of the way, but worth it to visit the Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel on the roof.

3. British old Embassy. A beautiful view of Kaohsiung city.

Kaohsiung Nightlife

Like other big cities in the world, nightlife in Kaoshiung has an excellent night spots. You could enjoy the nightlife begin with Liouhe Night Market, and then perhaps a taxi ride to the Han-Hsien International Hotel for drinks at the Skyline Bar. Situated on the 42nd floor of one of the city's tallest buildings, this cozy little watering hole (open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.) offers tremendous views over downtown Kaohsiung and the harbor. The hotel is located at 33 Sihwei 3rd Road.

Wufu 4th Road remains the heart of Kaohsiung's nightlife scene, but there's no shortage of places in other parts of the city. One notable establishment is Roof Lounge (15F, 165 Linsen 1st Road), which has an enticing menu of Southeast Asian dishes, a dance floor (completely sound-insulated from the spiffy lounge area), and an outside balcony ideal for a romantic rendezvous.

If you want to savor an intimate night-out experience in Kaohsiung, there can be no better place than Chijin Park. The Chijin Resort Beach is located nearby. You can also gorge on delicious seafood delicacies. With exquisite seafood delicacies, the Chijin Park is a big hit amongst locals and tourists alike. You can also enjoy lazy strolls near the beach. There is a bridge which looks lovely at night. Reaching the destination is quite easy. You have to just take a boat to sail across the Kao-hsiung harbor to the long island.

Kaoshiung Nightlife Clubs, Clubs, bars, and Music House, as taken from "Kaohsiung Nightlife Pages"
http://friendpages.com/p/pages/cover.cgi?pageid=laowai

1. 1/2Alices:五福西路65號 Wufu Lu. You can drink or dance. Mixed bag in terms of music and atmosphere (you may need to bring your own crowd!). Note the Alices 2 near the Hanshen department store seems to have closed down.

2. ATT:建国路原东百货店对面 Jianguo Lu, opposite the Far Eastern department store near the train station. I have only been there once and I was turned off the place because some drunk decided that it would be fun for him and his mates to prove how tough they were by attacking the biggest foreign guy they saw (i.e. me). The place has a dance floora and sometimes had bands but last time I went near there it appeared to have closed down.

3. Blue Fantasy:五福二路47號 When I went there I was the only foreigner there but the singers mostly insisted on talking to the crowd in poor English and singing equally poorly in English. Their is a word for this in Chinese- "congyang". They serve OK Chinese food. It is no cheaper than most of the bars in spite of the low quality. Had a surprisingly big crowd (for the quality of the entertainment) when I went there. It is somewhere on Wufu 2nd road.

4. Cheap/Cheaky Charlies:新樂街75號 Basic simple bars run by an Australian called Raice and his local wife, Qiqi. Good for talking. Cheakies is the place to be late after everything else has finished. Located on the small road directly behind the Caves bookstore on Wufu road. Cheaper than some of the other bars. Most of the customers are foreign buxiban teachers.

5. Dew Drop Inn:新樂街39號 Good suroundings, good place for talking. Does not seem to go on till very late. Foreigner run. Located on the same road as Cheap/Cheeky Charlies.

6. Green Jungle:中二路200號 On Zhongzheng Lu. I have only been there when foreigner organised events were happening and they were very good but I suspect that it may be a different on other nights.

7. 1/2High Bar/DNA:民生一路77號4樓 This place is OK but in spite of what I keep hearing every time I go there it seems empty. It is a "disco pub". It is about the same size as the Alices on Wufu Road. It is on the 4th floor of 77, Minsheng 1st road. Run by "Dermo" who also owns the Dew Drop Inn.

8. Key Largo 五福西路88號 One of the numerous small bars on the section of Wufu Road just past the Love river bridge.

9. 1/2Jasmine's Place¡R五福西路39¸¹ Another of the numerous small bars on the section of Wufu Road just past the Love river bridge. It is known for getting foreign guys who have been here for decades, but I personally can not see the attraction.

10. Jurasic:中華路 / 西維路口 This place is very big and perhaps worth a look on account of the bizzare decor. When I have been there it was empty but I have heard that it gets a big part of the local young wanabe gangster, binlang chewing scooter racing crowd on Fri/Sat. Sun night is foreigners night (free entry). I was told that you can expect more Philipinos than westerners then. It is on the Corner of Zhonghua and Siwei roads.

11. Rainbows End: I have not been there for a long time so this report is out of date but it is a slightly seedy late night bar which got some foreigners before Cheek Charlies opened. It is on Xintian (Hsintien) road between Zhonghua (ChunHua) and ZhongShan (ChungShan) roads.

12. Rolling Stone:五福三路152號 Can be a bit mixed according to when you go there. Another not too big bar but has a good selection of music. Just off Wufu Road near the love river bridge.

13. Rock 22:漢神百貨店22樓﹐成功路 On the 22nd floor of the Hanlai hotel/ Hanshen department store. Expensive. Good dance music. Not many foreigners who live here go there much. Often has an African American band.

14. The Pig and Whistle:西維西路199號 Gets a big part of the foreigner crowd who feel like dancing. The bands can be pretty lame and the DJ is a pratt but it is an OK place to go dancing. More SPGs (a Singapore phrase meaning an Asian girl who prefers white guys) than any other bar in Gaoxiong if that is your scene. Foreigners tend to go there later mostly from about midnight on weekends. Not cheap but not quite as expensive as Rock 22.

15. Virus:三多西路110號 This is a relitively new place but apparently it was previously known by a few other names. It is quite big, good. It does not get going well until LATE (about 3:30 last Sat. night). It did not really have enough people when I went there but it definately had a much cooler atmosphere than anything else between Taichung and the Phillipines. It sort of reminds me of some clubs in China in a positive way! Someting like Rojam or the old JJ's in Shanghai. Virus is at 110 Sandou 4th Road. It is between TziChiang (Ziqiang in pinyin) and ChengKung (Chenggong) roads. It is down stairs. The Energy there on party on Sat August 7 was OK but actually I thought the last one at the green Jungle was better.

Taipei Nightlife

Taipei has a great nightlife. People call Taiwan the land of convenience because you can find anything or do anything at just about any time of the day. Although locals work or study during the day, nighttime is for play. Whether it's cocktails in a trendy lounge bar, dancing in a club, or live music at one of the city's venues, there is plenty of nightlife.

Taipei has many night markets, the most famous of which is the Shilin Night Market in the Shilin District of the city. The surrounding streets by Shilin Night Market get extremely crowded during the evening. Most night markets in Taiwan open around 4 p.m. as students begin returning home from school; crowds reach their peak between 8 and 11 p.m. Businesses continue operating well past midnight and close around 1 to 2 a.m.

Ximending has been a famous area for shopping and entertainment since the 1930s. Historic structures include a concert hall and a historic cinema. Modern structures house karaoke businesses, art film cinemas, wide-release movie cinemas, electronic stores, and a wide variety of restaurants and fashion clothing stores. The pedestrian area is especially popular with teens.

The Xinyi District is popular with tourists and locals alike for its many entertainment and shopping venues, as well as being the home of the Taipei 101 building, a prime tourist attraction famous for being the world's tallest building. Malls in the area include the sprawling Shin Kong Mitsukoshi complex, Taipei 101 mall, Eslite Bookstore's flagship store (which includes a boutique mall), The Living Mall, New York New York shopping mall, and the Vieshow Cinema (formerly known as Warner Village).

For family entertainment, there are the night markets, some of which don't get started until after dark. There is also KTV, giant karaoke venues where groups of people can reserve a small room equipped with karaoke equipment. The staff will deliver drinks and food to the room, or you can take your own for a corkage fee. It's a favorite pastime for Taiwanese and an opportunity to belt out songs with only your friends and family to ridicule you.

The best nightlife is found in the commercial district of Anho Rd in East Taipei and the older Shi Men Ding or West Side. Taiwanese tend to eat early and many restaurants close by 2130, but with no licensing limits many bars are open until 0200 or 0400, and some all night. Shao yen or snack bars in night life areas are popular on the way home.
