Originally established by the Dutch East India Company in 1624, this fortress marks the beginning of Taiwan's integration into the global trade network. It served as the administrative center during the Dutch colonial period and later became the residence of Koxinga. The site features the iconic observation tower and remnants of the original 17th-century brick walls. 

The Chimei Museum is one of the most iconic private museums in Taiwan, known for its stunning Greco-Roman architecture and vast collection. Visitors can explore a world-class array of Western art, musical instruments, weaponry, and natural history. The museum’s exterior, featuring the Apollo Fountain and the Olympus Bridge, offers a majestic atmosphere that makes it a "must-visit" landmark for international guests seeking a blend of culture and aesthetics.

Known as the "Amazon of Taiwan," Taijiang National Park is home to the breathtaking Sicao Green Tunnel. This ecological treasure allows visitors to raft through a dense mangrove canopy, where the sunlight filters through the leaves to create the famous "Angel’s Kiss" reflection on the water. It is a serene sanctuary that showcases Tainan’s commitment to preserving its unique coastal wetlands and diverse biological heritage.

Designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Shigeru Ban, this museum is a masterpiece of modern geometry inspired by the Bauhinia flower. Its unique pentagonal roof and stacked white volumes create a play of light and shadow that redefines the city's skyline. As a hub for contemporary art, it stands as a symbol of Tainan's transformation into a modern cultural hub, perfectly bridging the gap between historical tradition and future innovation.

Tainan is celebrated as the gastronomic capital of Taiwan. The city comes alive at night, particularly at the famous Garden Night Market (Tainan Flower Night Market). As the largest night market in the city, it offers an immersive experience where you can taste hundreds of local delicacies, from oyster omelets to bubble tea, amidst a vibrant sea of flags and stalls.
