- Here’s a breakdown of how to get between Tainan Airport (TNN), Taiwan and Tainan City / nearby cities — what your options are, how long they take, and approximate costs, plus some tips. If you tell me which neighborhood or hotel you’re going to I can give more precise info.
What is “Tainan Airport”
The airport code is TNN. It’s relatively small. Get To Center+2tna.gov.tw+2
Tainan City is fairly close so many of the transfers are short (20–30 mins depending on traffic) into the city center. invest.tainan.gov.tw+2popinn.com.tw+2
Transfer Options
Here are the main ways to get from Tainan Airport (TNN) to Tainan City, and between major neighboring airports like Kaohsiung, etc.
Mode
Approx Time
Cost / Fare
Pros & Cons
Taxi
~20-30 minutes to many city-center locations from Tainan Airport. invest.tainan.gov.tw+2popinn.com.tw+2
Depends on your destination. For example, from Tainan Airport to a mid-city hotel, ~ NT$200-NT$400 (this can vary). che.ncku.edu.tw+2popinn.com.tw+2
Pros: direct, relatively fast. Cons: costs more than bus; traffic can affect time.
City / Shuttle Buses
~20–30 minutes (or more depending on route) to reach city areas. tna.gov.tw+1
Bus fare is cheaper than taxi (often quite low). Exact fare depends on route. tna.gov.tw+1
Pros: cheap, regular. Cons: you may have to walk / transfer to final destination; less convenient with lots of luggage.
Direct Shuttle from Kaohsiung Airport → Tainan
~70 minutes for some services. Your next experience starts here — WAUG.+2Tainan Travel+2
~ NT$150 one way. Tainan Travel
Useful if arriving via Kaohsiung and going to Tainan. More comfortable than piecing together multiple legs of transport.
Train Connections
If you’re coming from Taoyuan or elsewhere, you might use train or Taiwan High Speed Rail plus bus/taxi. NCKU Mandarin Center+1
Varies a lot depending on how far you’re coming from.
Good if you’re okay moving luggage and following schedules; can be cheaper or faster depending on route.
Key Bus / Shuttle Services
There’s a “Tainan Express” shuttle bus service that runs between Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) and Tainan with multiple stops including Tainan Bus Station, Shangri-La Hotel, etc. Tainan Travel+1
Bus route No. 111 is one example. CityTrip+1
At Tainan Airport itself, there are several bus lines (City Bus, THSR Shuttle, etc.) connecting to the airport. tna.gov.tw+1
Taxi Pricing & Details
Taxis are plentiful outside the terminal. tna.gov.tw+2popinn.com.tw+2
Official fare structure: base fare + per km / per time increment. E.g. some starting fare for 1-2 km, plus charges for distance and for waiting/traffic. Night rates are higher (late night). tna.gov.tw
For example: from Tainan Airport to PopInn (in Anping District) is about NT$240 by taxi, taking ~21 minutes. popinn.com.tw
Tips & Considerations
If you have lots of luggage, taxi or shuttle are more convenient.
If traveling on a budget and you don’t mind a bit of walking or transferring, the buses are good value.
Check the schedule ahead of time for buses / shuttles — some run less frequently in early morning / late night.
If going to/from Kaohsiung Airport (KHH) instead of Tainan Airport, the direct shuttle is a good option. It might be cheaper overall than taxi.
For some hotels, especially upscale ones, you may be able to arrange a hotel-shuttle (though this is not always available). - https://wanma.tw/en/articles/%E5%BE%9E%E5%8F%B0%E5%8D%97%E5%87%BA%E7%99%BC%E5%89%8D%E5%BE%80%E9%AB%98%E9%9B%84%E5%B0%8F%E6%B8%AF%E5%9C%8B%E9%9A%9B%E6%A9%9F%E5%A0%B4%E7%9A%84%E5%AE%8C%E5%85%A8%E6%8C%87%E5%8D%97/?utm

MAPS – 地 图

- Maps of Tainan – 臺南市文化中地图的角色
- Maps of Tainan are rich in history, detail, and variety. I’ll walk you through some of the types of maps available, what they show, and where to find them — happy to zoom in on specific map types if you like (e.g. historical, walking, transit).
- Key Types of Maps of Tainan
Modern Administrative / City Maps
Show current boundaries (districts), major roads, transport links, landmarks.
Example: Tainan has around 37 districts. Wikipedia
Useful for planning travel, navigating neighborhoods, or understanding how the city is laid out today.
Historical Maps
There are maps dating back to Qing Dynasty, Japanese colonial period, etc. That include old road layouts, canals, fortifications, and district boundaries of the past. Geographicus+3digitalarchives.tw+3Wikimedia Commons+3
Example: Map from 1895 of Tainan (Formosa) on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons
The “Tainan Historical Maps” app (by Academia Sinica) lets you compare old maps (1875-1978) against current maps. APKCombo.com+1
In 2018, Tainan published a 400-year-old atlas (165 maps) showing many historical views including administrative, harbor, road, and topographic maps. eyeontaiwan.com
Tourism / Cultural Maps
These are made for visitors, showing cultural sites, old streets, temples, night markets, etc. More stylized, often easier to read for tourists.
Example: interactive tourism maps, story maps that highlight landmarks + food + heritage. yuhsienwu.com
Custom/Illustrated / Art Maps
Maps for decoration or specialized use — e.g. simplified road layouts, stylized colors, artistic emphasis (for print, poster, etc.).
Example: minimalist art map of Tainan with a colorful icon.
Custom editable vector maps (for print or professional use) also exist. Map Illustrators
Interesting Details & Historical Insights
Old maps often show canal networks, city walls, and harbors. Over time many were removed or transformed as the city expanded or under colonial influence. digitalarchives.tw+2Geographicus+2
During Japanese rule, there was urban planning that modified street layouts, removed city walls to make room for new roads, changed names of districts/roads. digitalarchives.tw
The 400-year-old atlas isn’t just decorative — city government sees it as useful for things like flood control planning, cultural heritage documentation, and tracking how the city’s geography and infrastructure have changed. eyeontaiwan.com
Where to Find These Maps
Digital Archives: e.g. Taiwan Digital Archives / Academia Sinica for historic maps. digitalarchives.tw+1

PHOTOGRAPHS – 圖 片

- Photography in Tainan – 臺南市文化中圖片的角色
- Tainan has a rich and evolving photographic arts scene, reflecting its deep history, cultural identity, and a growing interest in experimental and socially engaged photography. Below are some key aspects: history, institutions, current trends, and places/events worth knowing. If you want, I can also point out some photographers working in Tainan now.
Historical & Cultural Background
Tainan is one of Taiwan’s oldest cities, full of heritage architecture, temples, alleyways, old markets, traditional industries, etc. This means there is a lot to photograph “on location” that embodies Taiwanese history and culture.
In earlier decades, photography in Taiwan (including Tainan) was often documentary — recording changes in society, colonial influences, migration, temples, architecture, daily life. Over time, more experimental, personal, and artistic/photo‐conceptual approaches have become more common.
Institutions & Key Spaces
Here are galleries, museums, creative centers, etc. that are important for photographic arts in Tainan:
Venue
What they do related to photography / art
Notes
Tainan Art Museum (臺南市美術館, TAM)
This is a major institution and has hosted photography exhibitions. For example, “Hot Flux – Modern and Contemporary Photography in Taiwan and Africa” was held there, exploring links between African and Taiwanese photographic histories. Caacart
The museum has multiple buildings, including Building 1 (an Art Deco building from the Japanese colonial period) and newer parts. Wikipedia
182artspace
An independent art space in Tainan. Their exhibitions run for ~6 weeks and include photography, installations, illustration, paintings. It’s part of the contemporary & experimental art ecology. Artsy
YoYoMei FotoShop
This is a photo shop + studio + café / eatery hybrid. It’s vintage / analog friendly, with retro gear, backdrops, analog film cameras, etc. It also has nostalgic portrait and analog photography spaces. taiwaneverything.cc
National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Art Center
They host photography exhibitions, including by notable groups. For example “V-10 Five Individuals @ Tainan,” showing works by members of the V-10 Visual Arts Group (founded in the 1970s) with a focus on image creation, experimental work, and reflective of Tainan themes. en.sdg.ncku.edu.tw
Cultural / Creative Parks & Residencies
Programs such as the Artist-in-Residence (AIR) at places like Siao-Long Cultural Park and Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center. These provide time, space, and community for artists to explore their work, including photography. transartists.org
Key Events and Trends
Tainan International Photography Festival (TiFF): A newer festival which seeks to weave together Tainan’s history, geography, human culture through photography. It includes main exhibitions, street photography, workshops, forums, etc. tiff.tnc.gov.tw
Exhibitions that create dialogues — for example between Taiwan and Africa, or between past/traditional photography and contemporary practices (tech, identity, etc.). These point to a growing international/theoretical engagement. Caacart+1
Revival of older artist groups: the V-10 Visual Arts Group shows how historical collectives continue to influence current photographic art practice. en.sdg.ncku.edu.tw
Photographic Subjects & Aesthetic Themes
Several types of subject matter are prominent in Tainan photography:
Heritage, architecture, & texture: Old temples, colonial buildings, small alleys, wooden gates, old walls, etc. These provide visually rich material.
Street life & everyday scenes: Markets, night markets, temples, festivals. Because Tainan is less dense and frenetic compared to Taipei, there is a certain calm/texture in the everyday.
Analog photography / retro aesthetic: With places like YoYoMei FotoShop, there’s interest in film, old cameras, film stocks. Nostalgia is strong.
Identity, memory, disappearance: Some works deal with what is being lost: old social practices, old neighborhoods, or people’s memories. Also, reflection on Taiwan/Tainan’s colonial, indigenous, and local histories.
Experimental / conceptual work: Cross‐cultural work (e.g. between Taiwan & Africa), mixing photography with digital media, installations, text, and performance.
Challenges & Opportunities
Balancing tourist vs local photography: Many people photograph Tainan for its beauty and historic character (temples, heritage), but there’s always the challenge of going deeper — photographing less obvious stories, or those of underrepresented communities.
Space & funding: As with many places, getting institutional support, gallery space, funding for shows can be difficult. Residencies and creative parks help.
Mix of analog & digital: There’s opportunity in the crossover; analog is cherished, but digital and social media push newer forms and visibility. - https://www.chimeimuseum.org/index.php/en?utm

- Qingkunshen (also seen as Cingkunshen / 青鯤鯓) is a coastal village area in Tainan (將軍區 / Jiangjun District). The name is often shortened to “Kunshen” (鯤鯓), is a settlement in Jiangjun District (將軍區), Tainan City, Taiwan. Wikipedia+1
- Administratively, it includes at least two villages (里) / neighborhood divisions: Kunshen Village (鯤鯓里) and Kunming Village (鯤溟里). Wikipedia+1
Geographically it’s along Taiwan’s southwest coast, in a coastal, wetland salt‐marsh type environment. Wetland Taiwan+2Mapcarta+2 - The name “青鯤鯓” comes from “青” (green/blue) + “鯤” (a mythical fish/whale‐like fish in Chinese myth) + “鯓” (a variant of “圳/圳/圳,” often meaning a water channel / bank / embankment), describing a peninsula/sandbar/reef area which, under sun, looks like a blue/green fish. Wikipedia+21817BOX部落格+2
- The salt industry has been important. Salt fields were developed here in the 1970s specifically to meet rising demand for salt in Taiwan. Wetland Taiwan+2Tainan Travel+2
- Fan‐shaped Salt Fields (扇形鹽田, “Fan Salt Fields”) are One of the most visually striking features of Qingkunshen. These salt fields were constructed (in 1977) by Taiwan’s salt industry to create new land on sandbars and inner sea channels. Lna News+3Tainan Travel+3Wetland Taiwan+3
- After salt production scaled down / ended (around 2002 in several areas), many of the salt fields were abandoned (or ceased salt crystallizing), leaving wetlands, channels, and brackish water areas that are now ecologically rich. Wetland Taiwan+1\
- “Life Tree” Art Installation (生命之樹): A recent public art/landscape project in the fan‐shaped salt field area. A white arch / walkway / axis that complements the salt field’s fan pattern. It has become popular as a photo spot (“網美景點”) and helps draw attention to the salt fields and local scenery. WalkerLand 窩客島+2Lna News+2
- Ecology :
- The former salt fields + the natural shape of the coastline and tidal influence have given rise to wetlands that now support diverse flora and fauna—shorebirds, migratory birds, marine/wetland invertebrates etc. Wetland Taiwan+1
- “青鯤鯓鹽田濕地 (Qingkunshen Saltfield Wetland)” is recognized for its importance for bird migration / wintering species. Wetland Taiwan
- Vegetation includes mangrove‐type or salt marsh tolerant plants, red mangrove aka 海茄苳 etc., some wetland habitat loss is an issue but conservation efforts are ongoing. Wetland Taiwan
- Local Life & Food :
- Fisheries, oyster farming, “蚵嗲” (deep‐fried oyster pancake / fritter) and other seafood features heavily in local food culture. There are several local eateries which are popular with visitors for authentic local flavors. Taiwan Tourism Media+2UDN Women+2

- Roads: There are county / local roads: District Road 南26線 (South Line 26) starts in Qingkunshen, linking to other parts of Tainan and neighboring districts. Wikipedia+1
Harbors & Ports: Qingshan Fishing Harbor serves the coast. This provides fishing / marine transport / seafood trade / local life. Southwest Coast National Scenic Area+1
Visitor infrastructure has been improving: parking around salt fields / art installation; paths or boardwalks for viewing; food stops; local temples (e.g. Chao Tien Temple / 朝天宮) in the area. 1817BOX部落格+1 - Cinqunshen is interesting because it combines nature + history + art: The salt-making past, its decline, and current wetlands make it a good case study / spot for ecology + heritage tourism. The fan-shaped salt fields, especially around sunrise or sunset, the “Life Tree” art installation, and the coastal vistas are photogenic. Fresh seafood, traditional salt field influence, local community with maritime livelihood.
