(梅嶺風景區) in Tainan’s Nanxi District(楠西), Tainan City Government announced last week it would begin to provide weekend and holiday free shuttle bus service within the scenic area to avoid the kind of traffic backup that happened last weekend.
A traffic backup extended from the scenic area to Provincial Highway No. 3 last weekend due to a heavy influx of visitors to the area for watching plum blossoms along a few trails in the area. Therefore, Tainan City Government recommended the public to visit Meiling for plum blossom viewing during weekdays and take public transportation to get there.
For those who opt for public transportation, they can take a Green Line bus from TRA Tainan Station to Yujing (玉井) and then take Bus Green 22 from Yujing to Meiling, or take an Orange Line bus from TRA Shanhua Station to Yujing and then transfer to Meiling. [FULL STORY]
