Jingzaijiao Tile-paved Salt Fields
井仔腳瓦盤鹽田
Taiwan's oldest surviving tile-paved salt fields, where broken tiles pave the pans that reflect the sunset, one of Tainan's most beautiful sunset spots.
The Jingzaijiao Tile-Paved Salt Fields lie in Beimen District and were first built in 1818. They are the oldest surviving tile-paved salt fields in Taiwan. The bottoms of the salt pans are paved with broken clay tiles, and the grid-shaped pans hold shallow water. On clear evenings, the pans reflect the sunset glow, with small white salt piles dotted among them, making it a popular photography spot. The park is free to enter, and visitors can try salt drying and salt picking. It is about 50 minutes' drive from downtown Tainan. Nearby are the Nanliuluan Daitianfu Temple and the Beimen Crystal Church, which can be visited together.
