Tainan - an urban oasis, a landscape garden surrounded by high-rise buildings: Wu Garden

#100 Ways to Travel #Exhibition #Museum #Historic Sites #吴园 A landscape garden hidden in the city. It is hard to imagine that on the busy Minquan Road, there is an old civic hall and a garden landscape with small bridges and flowing water. #Wu Garden and Cultural Center is an alternative leisure historic site in Tainan. Together with #Wufeng Lai Garden #Banqiao Lin Family Garden #Hsinchu Beiguo Garden, they are known as the four famous gardens in Taiwan and are well worth a visit. The buildings in Wuyuan are quite interesting and diverse. Entering from the main gate on Minquan Road, you will first see a Baroque-style building #Tainan Public Hall, which has various exhibitions and performances from time to time. Next to it is a Japanese wooden hut #Shibamao Tea House, where you can go in to view various teapots and pottery, or have a cup of good tea and enjoy it leisurely. Walking further back, you will see a classical Chinese garden with small bridges, corridors, pavilions, rockery and ponds. It is very elegant and unique, with green grass and stepped seats. The most special thing is that the entire garden is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings, which forms a strong contrast and is quite interesting. When I visited, there happened to be a special exhibition of Tainan B&Bs, so I came to take a look. The auditorium-style exhibition room was very tall and grand. On weekends and holidays, Wuyuan has markets from time to time. It is very lively and a great place for the whole family to relax.
