Tainan, Taiwan
Tainan was Taiwan's capital for over 200 years, and its streets hold more history per block than anywhere else on the island. The city has over 200 temples, including the Confucius Temple (Taiwan's first, built in 1665), the Grand Mazu Temple, and the ornate Guandi Temple. Anping Old Street, near the Dutch-era Fort Zeelandia, is lined with traditional shops, old houses, and the famous Anping Treehouse where banyan roots engulf a former warehouse. Tainan's food reputation is legendary — milkfish congee, dan zai noodles, coffin bread, and shrimp rolls are local specialties found at street stalls throughout the city. The Hayashi Department Store, a restored 1930s Art Deco building, offers rooftop views and Japanese-era charm. The Snail Alley mural district and Blueprint Culture Creative Park in a renovated Japanese dormitory compound add artistic energy to the historic atmosphere.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided Tainan walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Anping Fort (Fort Zeelandia), Confucius Temple, Chihkan Tower, plus hidden gems like Shennong Street and Blueprint Culture Creative Park without booking a group tour.
