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

#2月好地方2025 The annual Asia-Pacific Orchid Show is here again, and it is still held in the park in Houbi, Tainan. If it weren’t for the orchid show, there would be very few opportunities to go to Houbi Township. So why not take advantage of the weekend to go! The scale of the Asia Pacific Orchid Exhibition is really huge. There are five large exhibition halls alone, and each building is divided into many themes: Theme Hall, Competition Hall, Business Hall, Life Hall and Market Hall. As soon as you step into the theme pavilion, you will be stunned by the vast sea of ​​flowers. The exhibits from all over the world are so spectacular. I never thought that flower art could be presented in this way. It is so beautiful. In addition to visiting the exhibition areas in order, the most distinctive one is the Lifestyle Pavilion. The living hall is different from the other four in that it is long and narrow and houses a landscape competition, a flower art classroom, a gift flower display area, a digital immersion hall, an agricultural product boutique hall, and Chimei Cultural and Creative. Among them, the Digital Immersive Museum is the most special. It uses immersive interactive somatosensory projection similar to teamLab to make people feel as if they are in a sea of ​​flowers. It is both magical and fun, and a very different experience. The exhibition area is large and there are many people. Even if you just take a quick look, it will definitely take at least 1 or 2 hours. After shopping, you can go to the farmers' market to eat and drink, and take a rest in the air-conditioned room. #Asia Pacific Orchid Exhibition #Tainan Houbi

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yawen Lakeside Healing Forest is located in Houbi, Tainan. There are currently five branches in Taiwan, located in Yangmei, Taoyuan, Sanyi and Touwu, Miaoli, and Douliu, Yunlin. Yawen Lakeside Healing Forest is the largest of these, and the park is filled with various varieties of roses and hobbit model houses. The store sells a wide variety of cleaning and maintenance products at very affordable prices. There are occasional promotions and everyone buys large and small bags of them.

Address: No. 184, Wushulin, Houbi District, Tainan City Atmosphere/Facilities: A sugar factory was established in Wushulin, Houbi District, Tainan in 1910, becoming one of the important white sugar production bases in Taiwan. After the nearby sugarcane is harvested, it is transported here via "five-cent trucks" to be made into sugar. The "five-point train" responsible for transporting sugarcane is actually a narrow-gauge train with a track width of only half the international standard gauge. With a snail's pace of 5-10 kilometers per hour, it is known as the slowest train in the world. Now, tourists can spend NT100 to transform themselves into "white sugarcane" and slowly walk through the woods towards the sugar factory! The one-way trip takes about 20 minutes. The train will stop at the terminal for a few minutes to complete the turn and then let passengers get on the train for the return journey. The total round trip of the five-minute car experience is about 45 minutes. Features: Wushulin Station, which began operation at the end of 1946, is a passenger train station that travels between Xinying District and Wushulin. It has a history of more than 70 years. After experiencing the five-minute train, you can come in and visit the old relics related to the station. Remember to order a NT20 sugar factory popsicle to reminisce the taste of your childhood! Price per person: NT$100 for a five-cent ticket, NT$20 for an ice lolly Rating: 90 #Tainan #Wushulin Recreation Park #Experience the Five-Minute Car #Good Place for Parents and Children #Sugar Factory Popsicle

I saw the introduction of this restaurant on "Foodie Player", so I took advantage of the holiday to visit the store and taste the traditional "Harvest Rice". The Fugui Canteen, which was transformed from a traditional red brick house, has also retained its original appearance outside the courtyard. In fact, when you walk in, you will feel an inexplicable affinity to the environment here, as if you are having a meal at your grandparents' home in the countryside. After eating at Fugui Restaurant, you can go to the nearby Jingliao Old Street for a stroll... and check in at the old house of Su Nu Sheng Ji~ Address: No. 7-2, Jingliao Village, Houbi District, Tainan City Business hours: 11:00-14:00 (closed on Mondays and Thursdays) Atmosphere/facilities: A tourist-style dining place with red bricks and tiles Whether it is a painted wall or a retro item, it is suitable for taking photos.

I believe many people come here to see the home of Carina Chan in the Taiwanese drama Growing Up! It's a pity that Chen Jialing's new home has been demolished, so I didn't see it. But there is still the Wumi Le community here where you can go shopping and buy some souvenirs to take home.

#Register for March Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 I really like Yawen Tourism Factory! Located in Houbi, Tainan, Yawen Lakeside Healing Forest enjoys convenient transportation and covers a large area. Whether it is the store display area and traffic flow, free parking lot, public toilets, European-style garden with clusters of flowers, or restaurant, you can enjoy it comfortably during weekday visits. The product experience area and product displays in the store are neat and tidy, with a wide variety of products. Phytoncide soap has always been a must-buy item for us, and we really like its refreshing smell! The European-style garden has a rich variety and colors of roses, and also plants many other flowers and trees. It is so pleasing to the eye that people want to stay in this beautiful garden for a little longer. Address: No. 12-66, Houbi District, Tainan City, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Tainan

The entire rose garden of Yawen is really great, with many landscapes that are great for taking photos, and the parking lot is also very large, free of charge, and we can also buy our favorite products. I really recommend everyone to go for a walk.

#OctoberGoodDestinations2024 It is a very quiet place. There won't be many people during the Chinese New Year. When you walk around the lake and reach the wooden plank road, you can continue to walk down and make a big circle for about 3-4 hours. There is also a Kapok Road with firecracker flowers here, which is worth a visit. Address: Houbi District, Tainan City, Taiwan, China #100TravelWays #NaturalScenery #TainanAttractions

There are many unique landscaping arts in this park, as well as European garden scenery and various different roses planted. It is a great attraction for outdoor travel with children. #Yawen Lakeside Healing Forest

The Bugu Agricultural Innovation Museum was originally located at No. 1, Jingliao, behind the public grain warehouse of the Grain Bureau. With the changes of the times, it has now become a farm product exhibition and sales center with a sense of design and a literary and artistic style. The overall design is quite comfortable and increases the desire to buy. The Bugu Agricultural Innovation Museum is fun to visit and buy, so I recommend you to come and have a look! 📍 Address: No. 346, Jingliao, Molinli, Houbi District, Tainan City ⏰ Business hours: 9:00~17:30 🚗 Parking: Roadside parking nearby #Tainan Attractions

As women, you should all be familiar with the brand "Yawen"! The best-selling product is this transparent soap which costs 120 yuan. I have bought it several times and it is very clean. It has several parks in Taiwan. Recently came to the newest rose garden in 2024, Unfortunately, the weather is too hot and many flowers have dried up... The garden is very big and there is no place to provide shade... Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated. The interior is the sales area with maintenance, cleaning, etc. products, as well as the restaurant, toilet and tea room. The weather is too hot and the water dispenser is out of water and can only keep displaying (heating) There are also some scenery in the aisle for taking photos. It is recommended that people who are afraid of the sun and heat come in spring and autumn. #2024 #tourismfactory #rosegarden #photographing #check-in #walking #Tainanattractions #Tainan #attractions #lighttravel #flowers

Pilgrims who like the old street can visit here. The meal here costs 100 yuan per person. The dishes are rich and delicious, all of which are very local and antique. Although they are ordinary dishes, they have different flavors and are worth a try. After eating, you can look at the previous cultural relics, which will bring back many childhood memories.
