This Is What 400 Years Did To Taiwan’s Oldest City! 🇹🇼 | Tainan Walking Tour

This is what 400 years did to Tainan! Taiwan’s original capital is packed with four centuries of layered history, vibrant street culture, and ancient traditions—yet most visitors walk right past its most surprising secrets! 🇹🇼 In this complete day tour from Kaohsiung, we explore how 400 years shaped Tainan into Taiwan's cultural heart: from a 1930s Japanese department store hiding a secret rooftop Shinto shrine, to Taiwan's very first Confucius Temple, the bustling historic alleys of Anping, and ultra-modern art architecture. We wrap up by catching the high-tech Tze-Chiang Limited Express (EMU3000) train back to Kaohsiung! 📍 CHAPTERS & TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - This Is What 400 Years Did To Tainan 00:23 - Hayashi Department Store - Vintage Elevator & Rooftop Shrine 12:52 - Tainan Confucius Temple (Taiwan's First School, 1666) 16:24 - National Museum of Taiwan Literature 19:23 - Tainan Art Museum Building 2 21:19 - Anping Old Street - Historic Alleyways & Local Eats 28:12 - Tainan Train Station 34:13 - Riding the Tze-Chiang Limited Express (EMU3000) Train 35:47 - Back in Kaohsiung If you enjoyed this walking tour, please consider subscribing to support Jay Walking Tours for more Taiwan travel guides! #Tainan #TaiwanTravel #Tainan400 #HayashiDepartmentStore #JayWalkingTours
