Tainan was the capital city many many many moons ago.. although it is a small city now, I still think it is THE place to live in Taiwan, cos it is not so busy like in Taipei, not so crowded like in Taichung and doesn’t have the worst air pollution like in Kaohsiung. Tainan is full of traditional Taiwanese food, and most importantly, they are cheap! Plus many history sites waiting to be visited.
