Tainan
Old Capital Flavors

Tainan Travel Guide

The roots of Taiwanese cuisine

Taiwan's first capital, often called “the roots of Taiwanese cuisine.” Tainan's charm is less about big attractions and more about old-town alleys and century-old shops — there are so many local snack spots packed in that you couldn't eat through them all in a single day.

Traveler Favorites

01

Fort Zeelandia (安平古堡)

A relic of Dutch colonial rule, and the site where Taiwan's recorded history begins.

02

Shennong Street (神農街)

Old houses turned into galleries and bars — even prettier once the lights come on at night.

03

Chihkan Tower (赤崁樓)

Tainan's signature historic site, where old Taiwan surfaces right in the middle of the modern city.

04

Hayashi Department Store (林百貨)

Taiwan's first department store, built in 1932 and beautifully restored — its rooftop shrine is worth a look.

05

Guohua Market & Zhongzheng Rd. Alleys

A dense pocket of local snack shops serving beef soup and more.
