Tainan | Coastal Forest.

While Anping Fort might be Tainan's most famous attraction, the nearby Yuguang Island is equally impressive! If you love nature, you must visit this small island, which is close to the city and easily accessible. To reach the beach, you first walk through this forest trail. The afternoon sunlight filters through the trees, making for a very pleasant stroll. The narrow wooden boardwalk in the forest is also perfect for taking photos! Walking along the boardwalk, you'll quickly reach Yuguang Island Beach. There's a large open area with trees providing shade and a view of the sea, making it a great spot for a picnic. Yuguang Island Beach is arguably the most famous beach in Tainan. The coastline is stunning, earning it the nickname 'Moon Bay.' The sand here is very fine, so even walking barefoot is comfortable. Many people choose to walk, sunbathe, and spend their weekends here. There are no skyscrapers here, just a vast expanse of blue and green. Some people enjoy this beautiful scenery with their pets, making it feel like time has slowed down. After exploring the forest trail and the beach, if you're hungry and can't wait to get back to the city for food, you can try the snacks here! From hot food to ice treats, there's a wide variety. However, since these stalls are by the roadside, consider the hygiene conditions before purchasing. 📍Yuguang Island To get to Yuguang Island from Tainan Train Station, take Bus No. 2 towards Sankunshen and get off at 'Binhai Station.'
