Historical landmarks are scattered throughout the city, with charming little shops tucked away in its quaint alleyways. On the city's outskirts, the brilliant blue of Fisherman's Island and the lush green of Four Grass provide picturesque accents. When asked, "What makes Tainan worth visiting?" it seems everyone can enumerate its many enchanting features. This timeless allure has established Tainan as a muse for writers, including contemporary Taiwanese author Ye Shitao, who frequently references the everyday life of the old capital in his works. The "Ye Shitao Literary Memorial Hall" is located in a historic building from the Japanese colonial period in the Central and Western District. After renovations at the end of 2021, it transformed from a traditional memorial hall into a "literary salon," inviting visitors to step into the world described in Ye's writings through a sensory experience.
