  • Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the arrival-card rule on the official sites before you fly.
  • Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, trains in the north and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
  • Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.

Tainan is Taiwan's oldest city and was its capital under Dutch and Qing rule. It has a dense set of temples, forts and old lanes, and is known for small-plate snacks. High-speed rail stops outside the centre and connects by shuttle train.
