自然景觀

Huxingshan Park(虎形山公園) is located on Mt. Huxing (huxing=tiger shape), the mountain given such an imposing name because its shape resembles a fierce tiger. At an elevation of 113 meters, the park doesn’t attract many tourists and can be said to be the “secret base” of the “mountains behind Tainan.” Offering water and mountain scenery, it is located in scarcely-populated Longqi District. The park environment is well-preserved, and it is ecologically rich, with wild animals regularly making an appearance.

Dragon Boat Nest(龍船窩) is a tranquil out of the way village with around 30 households located in a flat area on Mt. Longchuan. A depression on the top of 351-meters high Dragon Boat Mountain resembles a dragon boat, which is why the place was named Dragon Boat Nest.
The expansive views offered from atop the mountain attract many hill walkers and it is also a popular spot for viewing meteor showers. It is also an excellent low elevation spot to view the sunrise in addition to Erliao, Tainan.

When going from Tainan on the Taiwan Route 20 towards Jiaxian (甲仙), the strip of blue lake that is Nanhua Reservoir (南化水庫) is hard to miss.

Yong Hsin Suspension Bridge (永興吊橋) is Tsengwen River's only suspension bridge, and at 497 meters long, it is Taiwan's longest suspension bridge. On holidays, the bright purple bridge always attracts tourists from all over Taiwan.

Hutou Mountain (虎頭山), located in Yujing (玉井) at a height of 239m above sea level, is so named because the mountain's terrain resembles a tiger's head. It is a well-known scenic coffee spot in Yujing, with several coffee shops where it can be hard to find a seat on holidays. The coffee shops each have their own unique characteristics, and the landscapes seen from each are slightly different, but they all boast a magnificent view of the village surrounded by mountains. At night, the view turns to an exquisite nightscape, making it a popular spot among young couples for romantic dates.

Zuozhen District's Tsao Shan Moon World (草山月世界) is an area of daqing limestone terrain (青灰岩地形) made up of sandstone and shale, also known as chalk terrain. The geology is softened as it meets the water, and streams have eroded the surface to create a hilly landscape with cliffs all around, and a mountain ridge shaped like serrated teeth. The ground is highly alkaline due to the chalk, making it difficult for vegetation to take root, and only the hardy thorny bamboo can grow.

Yaoyue Suspension Bridge (要月吊橋) is 105 meters long, and extends over the Caoshan River (草山溪). Built in 1973, as an access route for local residents, the bridge later became a tourist bridge. It was rebuilt in 2001, and remains the only suspension bridge in the Caoshan area.
The bridge crosses a canyon with chalky ground and a stream. On one side is a small village between the hills, the stillness between the white hills make time seem to stop, and has the rather desolate feeling of a lost age.

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.

Many tourists will already have heard of Sicao Mangrove Reserve (四草紅樹林保護區) and its aquatic green tunnels, and which offer some of the best mangrove forest ecology within Taiwan. Every time a ray of sunlight shoots through the dense mangrove forest, it sprinkles and disperses across the rubber rafts travelling slowly along this watery terrain, and on both sides it is possible to witness curious fiddler crabs and mudskipper amphibious fish that will leave you wide-eyed with surprise.

The mangrove forests on both sides of the waterways grow together towards the center, intertwining to form a dense semi-dome of green shrubbery, stacking layer upon layer to create a deep corridor, not knowing the end and appearing mysterious, thus giving the Sicao Green Tunnel its moniker “Little Amazon”. Tourists from home and abroad come in droves, waiting in line to get on the raft that leads to this green wonderland.
