Tucked in the Southwest Coast of Taiwan, Tainan is the oldest city in the country. While it has been overtaken by the other cities - New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and Taipei - in terms of size, the history and culture embedded in the city give it a striking distinction from the rest. You’ll find that the former capital of Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty still packs a punch when it comes to showing its guests a good time, especially in the older districts such as Anping, where you’ll find Anping Old Fort and a place called Anping Tree House where a collection of banyan tree roots are growing out of a wooden warehouse. Small details like these provide a surreal touch to Tainan. What adds to the urgency to visit Tainan is also the fact that a good number of its land area is being reclaimed by the sea, including some of its historical spots. Vanishing cities like these need to be visited soon. Should you happen to be in the area, you might want to stay in a place as whimsical as Tainan itself. Read on for our list of the best accommodations if you’re still wondering where to stay in Tainan, Taiwan.

Authentic Tainan
Apart from those already mentioned in the list, other historical sites also include the National Museum of Taiwanese Literature, which is a restored Japanese building where you can get good coffee and the Luerman Matsu Temple in Annan. The latter is a bit far off from the destinations listed here, however, the colorful facade and the legend behind it makes it quite worth the visit, even if it’s a little out of the way. Tainan has become a beautiful, quaint city, with a historical significance that assures it can never be forgotten by the rest of Taiwan. Many locals still flock here for a quick break or a history lesson. It has a quieter feel than most of its siblings, such as New Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taichung. Buildings here are no higher than two to three stories, which adds to its small-town feel, despite it functioning like a full city. What it lacks in big infrastructure though, it more than makes up for in authenticity.
