When you talk about Tainan, what’s the
first thing you think of? Historical stories? Historical buildings? Scenic
spots? Or delicious food? In my learning project, I will introduce what I write
above. This week, I will give you a brief introduction, and details will be
told in the next few weeks.
Location, Government & Politics
Tainan is a city in southern Taiwan, and it faces the Taiwan Strait
in west and south. It’s area is about 2,192 km2, and it has almost 1,900,000

History
Tainan was Taiwan’s political and military center from 1624 to 1885.
Before Dutch controlled Tainan, indigenous Siraya lived in Tainan for a long
time. In 1620s, Dutch came, and then Zheng Chenggong, Qing Dynasty, and
Japanese came in the order. All of this can be seen in the history textbook, so
I don’t want to say too much here.
Scenic spot
Due to the colony background, there are many historical buildings in
Tainan. For example, Anping Fort, Anping treehouse, Anping old streets.
Besides, Tainan also has plenty of beautiful natural landscapes and what’s
more, there is special hot spring in Tainan.

Food
Tainan is famous for its food. Local snacks are all delicious. For
example, oyster omelet, shrimp roll. Besides, Tainan also has cheap but
delicious food, and I will tell you about this in the future.
This week, I just introduce Tainan briefly. Since next week, I will
tell more detailed things about Tainan.
Tainan is actually full of history, and also a center of "ancient" Taiwan.There are a lot of interesting things you can discuss. Maybe you can talk more about the original aboriginal in Tainan,and the history and buildings about Tainan in the next few weeks. I am expecting such kind of articles.
