Tainan is a famous historical and cultural city in Taiwan, which started the modern history of Taiwan since the Dutch founded the city of Jelanchu in 1624. It is home to the largest number of monuments in Taiwan, such as the Anping Ancient Fortress, the Chikan Tower, and the Confucius Temple, each of which carries a deep historical heritage. As the earliest "capital" of Taiwan, Tainan is a blend of Ming and Qing architectural styles, Minnan culture and aboriginal flavors, and is also famous for its old-fashioned snacks in the streets and alleys, from danzai noodles and oyster omelettes to coffin boards and mung bean pastries, all of which have attracted countless diners to come here. Strolling through Tainan is like traveling through time and space, experiencing the slow-living charm of the years.
