Tainan is the oldest city in the country and traditional cultures continue to thrive here. As with the rest of Taiwan, the ancient meets futuristic here, although the ancient maintains the strongest hold on day to day lives. Inside ancient you’ll find a generation still making the decisions for the local communities, just as their ancestors did when the temples first opened.

Away from the temples, the Tainanese are obsessed with food, and the cultural mix of dishes makes any visit to Taiwan a culinary paradise.
