Tainan, the oldest city in Taiwan, is a captivating blend of history and modernity. Known as the nation's cultural capital, it's replete with ancient temples, traditional shops, and historical landmarks like the Chihkan Tower and Anping Fort.

Tainan is also famous for its culinary scene, offering authentic Taiwanese dishes and street food. Amidst the historical charm, the city pulses with vibrant art and café cultures. Tainan, with its warm climate and hospitable locals, invites visitors to explore its unique blend of tradition, history, and contemporary lifestyle.
Steeped in history, the Anping Fort, originally known as Fort Zeelandia, offers a glimpse into Taiwan's Dutch colonial period. Wander through the remnants of this 17th-century structure, exploring old walls, watchtowers, and artifacts. The panoramic views from the top highlight Tainan's cityscape, juxtaposing the old with the new. The fort stands as a testament to Tainan's resilience and multifaceted past.
Previously Fort Provintia, Chihkan Tower now stands as an iconic landmark in Tainan. Its exquisite architecture, a blend of Chinese styles with Dutch influences, captivates visitors.
