With the Most Complete Historic Sites and Traditional Culture, One of Taiwan Tourists' Best-Loved Cities
Before the pandemic, the number of Singapore tourists coming to Taiwan grew by an average of 7% for three consecutive years. From the reports on post-pandemic Asia travel trends published by TripAdvisor and Skyscanner, of three major tourism features of healing, getting close to nature, and history and culture, Tainan both before and after the pandemic has been a must-visit city for those who come to Taiwan to relieve stress and soothe the mind, somewhere you can conveniently see mountains, sea and cityscape within a single day.
Walking into the ancient capital of Tainan is like stepping into living history, roaming a historic canal, and witnessing stories of civilization changing. Retaining nearly 400 years of historic landmarks, culture and creative arts, traditional cuisine and natural scenery, Tainan is the birthplace of Taiwan's first city, giving it status and historical value akin to Kyoto in Japan or Gwanju in South Korea. When the pandemic struck the hotel industry, only Tainan kept up its occupation rate as Taiwan's number one, adding 97 new hostels with revenue up NT$1.21 billion over the previous half a year. According to Taiwan media's publication of tourism satisfaction survey results, in 2020-1 Tainan City was for two consecutive years one of the cities that people in Taiwan most loved to visit.
