"Tainan" Tainan by kaoshui

Tainan, the ancient capital of Taiwan, is situated on the southwestern coastal plains of the island and enjoys a warm climate year-round. It is the island's oldest and now fourth largest city, with a population in excess of 700,000. The gentle-natured people of the city are warmly hospitable, and the relatively tranquil life there seems far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern urban life. With its long history, Tainan is rich in historic sites and cultural heritage.

Nighttime in Tainan can be whatever you make it. If you like tranquillity, you can go to the Kuangfu campus of National Cheng Kung University to stroll quietly and enjoy the gentle breezes,the aroma of flower blossoms, and the chirping of myriad insects. It you like noise and bustle, you can go to the night market near the Far Eastern Department Store on Chungcheng Road and buy some gifts for friends and relatives. If these suggestions fail to fit your fancy, then go for a quiet conversation over a cup of fine tea in one of Tainan's unique tea houses.
