Travel Date: 2021/05/08
We had originally planned to spend the weekend at home because my husband would be staying in Taipei for a week. It turned out to be a good decision to go out during that time because Covid-19 cases started to rise shortly after he returned (around May 15th). We're not sure when we'll be able to go out again, but there are still some places we visited in the past that I haven't had a chance to post about yet.
Lately, the sky has mostly been grey, with air pollution and cloudy weather (no rain...), so it was refreshing to see a beautiful blue sky. We went for lunch at a steak house in Jiali District. Afterwards, we drove around Qigu District. Due to the recent drought, many places have turned into salt fields. We also visited the Beimen Crystal Church and Jingzijiao Wapan Salt Fields.
The Beimen Crystal Church (水晶教堂) opened in October 2014 and is occasionally used as a chapel for weddings. It's easy to find parking there, and the entrance fee is 20NT.
Jingzijiao Wapan Salt Fields (井仔腳瓦盤鹽田) is the oldest manually operated salt production site in Taiwan with a 200-year tradition. Originally located in Fengshan, it was relocated twice due to flooding. It has been established in the north of Tainan since 1818 by salt farmers and used to be called Yongdong Field. The site was once a desert until 1952 when the area was redesigned and transformed into a central-style tiled-paved salt field. Another famous place to visit there is the salt mountain.
