Baihe reservoir (白河水庫), built in 1965, sits like an emerald at the base of Guanziling Mountain (關子嶺山) in a beautiful mountain lake setting. Inside the park, the forest provides dense shade, and the water's surface ripples bluish green. Strolling in the area's fresh air, tourists will feel the coolness of the lake on the breeze, and the gentle hill at the shore gives a wide field of view. In the early morning, egrets and other water birds can be spotted foraging at the water's edge, returning to the trees at dusk to roost.

Main routes of the Guanziling Mountain Trail System are the Datong, Jiulong, Jilong, Fulong and Pillow Mountain Routes(大凍山線、九龍山線、雞籠山線、福龍山線以及枕頭山線). Datong Mountain, at 1241 above sea level, is the highest peak in Tainan, and one of Taiwan's small hundred peaks. Jiulong Mountain Route has a number of almost 90 degree inclines that hikers will need a rope to climb; a great experience for thrill seeking mountain climbers. Jilong Mountain Route is on the northwest side of Datong's main peak. It has a conical isolated peak resembling a chicken cage which give the peak its name, Jilong.

At 1,241 meters above sea level, Dadong Mountain(大凍山) is Tainan's highest peak, and is one of Taiwan's top hundred small peaks. The climb usually starts from Ziyun Hall at Xianzu Temple(紫雲殿仙祖廟), and the trail takes around 3 to 5 hours in total. It is a great training ground for mountaineers, and is a favorite among the hikers of Tainan. The trail lies among a dense low-altitude broad-leaved forest landscape, at times entirely surrounded by either trees or bamboo.

The 1980s is generally seen as the high point for Mashagou (馬沙溝).The beach was always crowded in the summer, with stalls, parasols, water sports, and crowds comparable to present day Kenting (墾丁). Dusk is the most enchanting time here; the beach and the seawater appear to join into one golden yellow mass as the sand is reflected in the mirror of the sea. Business died down for a time while the rather outdated buildings were being refurbished, but now Mashagou has a new tourist center and a dazzling line-up of new and improved leisure facilities.

Located in Guantian District, Tainan City(台南市官田區), and designed by renowned US course design company Willard C. Byrd & Associates, the Course was ranked sixth best in Taiwan in 2005 by Golf Magazine. The landscaping was done by Tim Cox Specialty Grading Service of the US. The course is characterized by its large water hazards, winding stream and undulating fairways. No matter if you look close or far away there is always special scenery to be enjoyed.

Nan Yi Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole international standard golf course. Designed by a renowned Japanese course architect, Mr. Watanabe Hiroshi(渡邊弘先生), it is one of the best courses in southern Taiwan. Both competitive and social in character, the aim is to provide an environment for players to not just socialize and exercise, but also to allow them to enjoy the fun of competition.

Wushan( Wu Mountain;烏山) in Nanhua Township (南化) is the dividing line between Tainan and Kaohsiung. Wushan Hiking Trail (烏山登山步道) runs approximately 12 kilometers from north to south, with a mix of steep and gentle slopes, and walking the entire length of the trail takes about 9 to 10 hours. The most popular section among hikers is behind Jinguangshan Hode Purple Bamboo Temple (金光山厚德紫竹寺). Many people come here very early in the morning.

Meifeng Historic Trail (梅峰古道) has always been one of the top choices for the citizens of Tainan to climb the hills at the outskirts of the city, and has 5 clearly marked hiking trails. They include the Ridge Trail, with its incredible views, and the Melong Trail, the southern end of which leads to 1,110m Mt. Zhuzijian triangulation point. Wulong Trail is also a relatively relaxed trail where tourists can enjoy the views of Tsengwen Reservoir and head to HsinHsing's popular scenic spot the One Line Sky Trail. Wulong trail is also a good place to see fireflies.

Green Valley Siraya is a very small scenic spot where you can see Siraya (西拉雅族)lifestyle and hunting tools. Owner Elder Wan has a special skill: he can turn any objects into musical instruments just by adding strings; his music fills the air of the valley, which is green as far as the eye can see. It is common to see tourists crossing the floating bridge over the small pond, or singing the "counting song" in the Siraya language guided by Mr.Wan.

Established in 1976, Tainan Golf Country Club (台南高爾夫球場)was Tainan’s first golf club. Located in the foothills of Mt. Hutoupi(虎頭埤山麓), it is just 10 kilometers from downtown Tainan, so transportation is very convenient. As it is located in Xinhua District, the club is often referred to as Xinhua Golf Club(新化球場). As well as the lovely scenery offered by each hole, such as the 14th hole which features the early tourist attraction Hutoupi Reservoir(虎頭埤), it also has shops and pavilions with an old-time flavor and a restaurant serving fine food and coffee that add to the fun of playing golf.
