Xinying Dist.

Xinying Railway Scenic Park takes the story of Taisugar Railway as the main centerpiece of its revitalization and development. By reinterpreting the characteristic sceneries of Sinying Railway Station, with the many rail tracks converging on the station through a series of connections, continuations and stitching of railway tracks, the spatial sequence of the park is thus formed. There are also all kinds of switches, carriers, and signal stations between the tracks, which imply the time and space flow of the industrial development and changes of the place.

The Sinying Sugar Factory, where the Sinying Railway Cultural Park is located, is one of the three main factories of Taiwan Sugar Corporation. Because of its higher level within the organization, the office and dormitories are distinctive, and the railroad tracks are dense and numerous, making it a major transportation hub during the boom of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation's narrow-gauge “sugar trains” (Wu-fen Train).

The Nanying Hakka Culture Museum is composed of two buildings sitting at lot 275, Minzi Section, Xinying District, Tainan City selected by the former Tainan County Government. Built and renovated with the budget of the Hakka Affairs Committee of the former Tainan County Government in 2005, the museum was officially unveiled on March 3, 2007. After the county-city merger, the Tainan City Government renamed it as the Tainan City Nanying Hakka Culture Museum on April 15, 2011.

When the Army moved out of the Changsheng Barracks it left behind many stories about military training and historic barrack room buildings. The green tree tunnel in particular was actually a military installation for providing cover to tanks in the early years.  The original plans for re-development would have damaged the tunnel ecology so the city government modified the urban development plan to preserve this patch of beautiful forest in northern Tainan. Today, Changsheng Barracks Green Tree Tunnel is a shaded boulevard lined by fig trees forming a rare U-shaped green tunnel.

The outdoor art park next to a branch of the Chianan Canal was based on the concept of “the city as an art gallery.” The open space encourages more interaction between people and the arts. There are a number of elementary, junior and senior high schools near the park. Such a high concentration of schools have made the park an important venue for the development of art education in the Xinying District. Artist “No2Good” is famed for his "figure” designs.

What was once a timber-built official residence in the Japanese style owned by the Xinying County Government was built in the 10th Year of the Showa Era (1935) by  Sanpin Honda (本田三一), a Japanese builder. Red cypress was used extensively throughout the house and its fragrance can be smelled when you approach. This precious example of Japanese architecture in Tainan is now usually used as an art space for promoting Taiwanese tea culture and experiencing Japanese tea ceremonies.

Construction of the Xinying Cultural Center commenced in 1983. It was refurbished in 2016 and now offers brand new spaces for providing high-quality art and cultural services. The highlight of the center is its performance hall that seats up to 846 people featuring a Proscenium-arch stage and the full range of stage equipment. It is now not only the most important performance venue in Tainan City but also the main stage for the whole of the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan region. 

On the Xinying section of National Freeway 1, from far away majestic Golden Santaizi (三太子;Third Crown Prince) can be seen stood on a hot wheel on top of the temple, just like he is racing against the cars of the freeway. Taizi Temple was built in 1688. Every time a major ceremony is held the temple square is packed with people; at other times, the temple exudes the tranquility and slow pace of life of rural Tainan. It attracts quite a few tourists who come to worship and also view the huge Santaizi statue.

Old residents of Xinying (新營) all have a deep affection for Nanying Green Heart Park (No. 5 Park). (南瀛綠都心5號公園) in front of the Municipal Civic Center (民治市政中心). More than 80 years ago, many of Xinying's important events were held here, and the locals had an inseparable connection to the park.

Swan Lake (天鵝湖), originally called Piliaopi (埤寮埤), is the water source for irrigation of the nearby farmland, and in recent years it has become a new landmark in Xinying (新營). Walking the trail around the lake, tourists can admire the view of the lake's arched bridge and marvel at the lotuses adorning the surface of the lake. Many visitors can't resist preparing some tasty snacks and bringing a picnic blanket to sit and enjoy a picnic while appreciating the scenery. The beautiful water scenery and abundance of lush greenery make this a good leisure destination for the whole family.
