Tainan Travel

“Guanmaio” received its name due to worship of Emperor Guan. The three-centuries old Shanxi Temple is the head temple for the whole region. Local people usually go and buy their food from the Guanmiao Market because it is near Shanxi Temple.  Guanmiao was once a very affluent area due its rattan manufacturing so all of the nearby townships used to buy their goods from Guanmiao Market. Though the rattan industry has faded away, the streets around the public market is still home to many famous local eateries including Bowled Rice Cake, A-po Oden, Yiwan Noodles, Spanish Mackerel Strew and Mutton Soup. Buyers would always enjoy these traditional foods when they came to shop at Guanmiao Market early in the morning.
