Kaohsiung 15Oct2015 to 20Oct2015 - Day 3 Tainan



It was a Saturday, we were going to Tainan. My original plan was to go on a Friday then I realized their tourist bus 99 only has 3 bus scheduled for weekday.  Weekend has more buses scheduled, best to go on weekend if you intend to take the tourist bus 88 and 99.









We took the KRTC to Kaohsiung Train Station to take train to Tainan. We bought the train with seat assigned and express, it will skip a number of stops unlike the local train.





Come out from Tainan Train station cross the road to the bus stop in front of this building.



There are 2 tourist bus in Tainan, bus 88 and 99. We were taking bus 99, please note that not all bus 99 goes to Cigu Salt mountain. I suggest visit Cigu 1st as in the late afternoon some buses will skip Cigu Salt Mountain. We only notice that when we are at Cigu waiting for bus to return back to Tainan train station.




Our 1st stop is Tainan old street to settle our lunch then visit the old fort.











Take bus 99 from the same bus stop we alighted to Green tunnel. Alight at the bus stop opposite this temple. Sihcao Eco Culture (Dajhong temple) - 四草大眾廟-四草綠色隧道.



The boat ticket (NT200) could be purchase from the booth beside the temple. The boat ride is about 30minutes. There is a guide on the boat to intro the plants and what to look out for.









Then we took the bus 99 to Cigu Salt Mountain. It is a tiny mountain. The place is very windy, I enjoy the wind. There are some stalls selling food.











Here is the time schedule for the bus back to Tainan station.
