Tainan City is starting 2025 under the limelight of international tourism again by being named one of the Best Places to Travel in Asia for 2025 by the Time Out magazine in the UK. Tainan City Mayor Huang Wei-Che noted that Tainan had previously made “The Cool List 2024” of the National Geographic Traveller magazine in the UK, and CNN Travel’s Best Places to Visit in 2024. It has now started 2025 with a nod from the UK media Time Out and was the only Taiwanese city to make the list.
According to Time Out, Tainan is not only the historic capital of Taiwan but is also renowned as its foodie capital. Like the heart-warming gem of southern Taiwan, the city boasts a rich cultural heritage, avant-garde art, trendy pubs and restaurants, and mouth-watering cuisine. Here Michelin restaurants rub shoulders with busy hawker stalls. Readers in particular were encouraged to visit Anping Bean Jelly a short walk from the beach to enjoy the most popular local food. Time Out also noted that Tainan was home to many century-old sights, the most spectacular of which was the Anping Tree House. Visitors can walk through the giant banyan tree forest to admire the fantastic fusion of nature and architecture. A range of diverse activities have been launched for the 400th Anniversary of Tainan’s Founding. One of these is the “Agricultural and Fisheries Landscape Art Festival” which will be on display at key venues throughout Tainan until April 30, 2025. The report also reminded readers to not miss the “Tainan City International Dragon Boat Championship” being held on May 30/31, 2025. Going early to grab a front row seat on the canal section between Anyi Bridge and Chengtian Bridge is highly recommended to experience the perfect fusion between traditional culture and riverside fun.
Director-General Lin Kuo-hua from the Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government said that Tainan’s inclusion in Best Places to Travel in Asia by UK-based Time Out along with top charming cities from across the world not only served to highlight the tourism value of Tainan but also presented the unique charms of this historic Taiwanese city to the whole world. The Tourism Bureau is continue to improve the friendliness of the travel environment as international interest continues to grow. International marketing, participation in international travel fairs and associations, organizing of scouting trips by international tourism spokesperson and media, and social media marketing are all being actively employed to promote this city where history meets modernity to the world. Whether you are a cultural enthusiast, a food lover, or a natural explorer, Tainan is a travel destination that will meet your diverse expectations. Local and overseas travelers are welcome to come and experience the rich culture and unique ambiance of Tainan.
