Hai’an Road Art Street(海安路藝術街)

Introduce

Over the past few years, Hai'an Road (海安路) has become the busiest art walking area in Tainan at night. Both sides of the road have a rather dilapidated look, as buildings have been half torn down to widen the road, with exposed steel reinforcing bars and crumbling bricks and tiles. Due to the enthusiastic rallying of well-known curator Du Zhao-xian, artists make use of the current appearance to recreate all kinds of public art. The City Government has been actively pursuing landscape transformation in recent years, and wants to give tourists more comfortable walking spaces. Besides creative art displays, Hai'an Road is home to a great many pubs, beverage stores, barbecue vendors and beer houses. Pour a glass of your favorite drink, eat a few snacks, and meet up with close friends. This is the most relaxed nighttime experience in Tainan.

Gorgeous street art

This gorgeous street art was once just graffiti. Now it's a place where artists and purveyors of art can exist in harmony as a mix of painting and sculpture.

This is a great place to visit Tainan

This is a great place to check out this beautiful city of Tainan. Much like SoHo in New york city with a little bid of Greenich village. Everything goes here, without anything being too weird. You get a good mix of modern and vintage, a little bid of new and old. Not to mention the great foods in the area. Be sure to check out the old shops. However, I think trip advisor is giving me trouble posting in english........ 所以我打英文通通都不算是字元ㄧ定要全部打中文才可以這對遊客，尤其是外國人來說真的非常不方便除非tripadvisor只打算提供給台灣國內的人使用。希望tripadvisor可以找到這個簡單的bug並早日改進謝謝

Disappointed...
2018-01
No longer there or badly damage... Disappointed and sad as most of the art pieces are badly maintained, damaged or removed. (My first visit was back in 2012). Part of the street is cordoned up for road improvement work. Not worth visiting for now...

nice little alternative art/shopping district

A small re-imagined part of the city. It used to be a collection of small houses, many of these have now been torn down (to make space) whilst others have been recreated as arty stores / art installations in their own right. This is a colorful and vibrant part of the city, but one which doesn't take long to navigate. Once you get through all the shops, there is not much to do, there's a cafe, but no-where to grab a drink (beer, etc).
