Wu Garden

Located in the West Central District of Tainan, this site is a classical Chinese-style garden built by Wu Shang-hsin. It is recognized as one of the four great classical gardens in Taiwan. Visitors go here to observe traditional garden architecture and walk through a landscaped environment featuring ponds, pavilions, and curated greenery.

A visit to the grounds generally requires 1 to 2 hours to walk through the various sections and view the architectural details at a steady pace.
