Skip Taipei, go to TAINAN instead 🏮✨ | 24 hours of exploring the most AESTHETIC city in Taiwan

When it's someone's first time to Taiwan, I always tell them - "you can go to Taipei, but never stay in Taipei". This little island has so much more to offer, and Taipei is not at ALL representative of most of it. Tainan is Taiwan's former capital, oldest city, and a heaven for ALL foodies. Come here and you'll find historic temples, independent shops, the coolest reinvented third-wave coffee houses (think Brooklyn, but wayyyyyyyyy cooler), local delicacies, AMAZING weather year-round, friendly laid-back people, and an irresistible charm you just can't really find anywhere else.
I hope this video convinces you to go because I WANNA GO BACK ALREADY 😭

I just went to Tainan and will also agree that it was the best city to visit on my itinerary, and I went to every large city on the west coast during my recent trip. Chiayi was a close 2nd.

I’m from Tainan and I’m so glad that you guys enjoyed your trip there! The city is full of delicious food and rich history and culture, and people there are super friendly. Hope to see you visit again soon 👍

[@world-travel-hk]

Besides you enjoyed Tainan, it looks like Andrew also enjoyed Tainan.
You have convinced me to visit Tainan. Before me asking you the location of the hotel and all the eating places you went, you already had included all of them in your vlog. You are the greatest!!

[@sleepeating888]

Such a beautiful island! I hope you and your family are safe 🙏

I loved this video! My parents are from Taiwan, but I haven’t been back for years. Can’t wait to go back some time soon 😊

[@BrianaisGoingPlaces]

I am visiting Taiwan for my 五一 holiday and I want to make Taipei and Tainan work SO bad but I think I'll have to pick one. :( Tainan looks awesome!

[@WorldwideWu]

It’s hard I know!! Tainan is soooo amazing
