[Tainan] Enjoying Tea in the Park!! [Wu Family Garden]

2026-09-19

Hello, everyone! It’s Takky here!

The weather in Tainan has been great lately, with clear blue skies making for a series of truly pleasant days. Since it’s been absolutely perfect picnic weather, I decided on a whim to head out to a nearby park.

Under the crystal-clear blue sky, I relaxed with a cup of tea in hand while feeling the breeze rustle through the green trees!

Buy some tea

龍角 Dragon Horn 台南中山店
It’s an 8-minute walk from the Hamuya! So close!

It has a very beautiful exterior. I really like the look of the wood.

Here’s what the menu looks like.

This time, I went with oolong tea. A large cup costs 40 yuan．

Let’s go to the park.

Wu Family Garden
It’s a 5-minute walk from Hamuya! So close!
From where I bought my drink, it feels like I’m heading back toward Hamuya.

There’s a bit of greenery and a pond between the buildings. I actually really like the atmosphere here.

Come to think of it, I saw some sweets for sale on my way to the park, so I ended up buying some. 35 yuan.
Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted great. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Looking at a big tree somehow makes me feel calm.

There are also memorial halls dedicated to people with ties to Japan. Summary by Gemini ↓

王育徳（Ông Io̍k-tek　1924年〜1985年）。

A linguist and Taiwanese independence activist from Tainan, Taiwan

After losing his older brother in the 228 Incident following World War II, he fled to Japan in 1949. He earned a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Tokyo and taught Taiwanese for many years at Meiji University and Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Based in Japan, he founded the magazine Taiwan Youth and led Taiwan’s democratization and independence movements. He also devoted himself to campaigns for compensation for Taiwanese former Japanese soldiers and dedicated his life to preserving the history and culture of his homeland.

It looks like they sell fish food. I’ve been to this park a few times, but this is the first time I’ve noticed it.

Here’s a sudden quiz. There’s a squirrel in the image below. Where on earth is it?? (The answer is at the end.)

It looks like they’re holding some kind of exhibition, too.

There’s a tea shop on the premises, so you don’t need to bring anything with you.

This is what it looks like from the front.

By the way, this park—if you go there at night, you’ll find turtles, cockroaches, and mice, so it’s really lively.

In Closing

This time, on a whim, I headed to a park bench in search of a relaxed atmosphere.

With a cup of tea in hand, I spent some time simply zoning out, gazing at the greenery spread out before me and the breeze blowing by. I felt deeply that moments like these—when I can step away from my busy daily life for just a little while and clear my mind—are the greatest luxury of all.

Finally, here’s the answer to the quiz you’ve all been waiting for. Even I have to admit, it’s a question that’s practically impossible to get right.
