Fucheng (府城), Lugang (鹿港), Manka (艋舺) and Yuejin (月津) are the best highlights of Yanshui town, which used to be the fourth biggest city in Taiwan. Each year, the lantern festival attracts large numbers of tourists, all eager to receive the beehive baptism of fireworks.
The Yuejin Lantern Festival, held from 2012, raised the profile of Yuejin Harbor Water Park (月津港親水公園), and the crowds during the festival have turned it into a major Spring Festival event in Taiwan.
The Yanshui Yuejin Tour is available for booking from the Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government. Visitors will be guided from Qiaonan Old Street through the old street during the Qing Dynasty, past the Japanese two story buildings and a Baroque style streetscape. This journey through time really gives a sense of the former splendor of Yanshui (鹽水) through its old streets and alleyways.
Free entry, open all day long
