27 Dec 2025 - TNN Day 7: Wu’s Garden (吴园)

Tucked quietly within the historic core of Tainan, Wu Garden (吳園) is one of the city’s most elegant yet understated treasures. Often overlooked by visitors rushing between temples and snack streets, this refined garden offered a moment of calm. 

At the heart of the garden lies a tranquil pond. Wu’s Garden may not be massive, but it felt thoughtfully composed with every rock, pond, and pavilion placed with intention.

Wu’s Garden dates back to the Qing Dynasty, originally built by the wealthy Wu family who was one of Tainan’s prominent households during that era. At the time, private gardens like this were symbols of prestige, scholarship, and cultural refinement.

From Wu's Garden, we continued our exploration of Tainan city.
