Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan.
台南是台灣最古老的城市。
It traces its roots back to 1620 when it was established by Dutch East India Company as the capital during the Dutch colonial era.
這要追溯到1620年荷蘭殖民時期,荷蘭東印度公司將台南設為首府。
Tainan remained the capital during the rule of Tungning Kingdom and Qing dynasty until Taipei became the capital in 1887 .
台南在鄭氏王朝,以及清代皇朝還是首府,一直到1887年台北成為首府。
Some people liken Tainan to Kyoto, Japan and Bonn, Germany. It went from the capital of yesterday to the more rural and slower-paced city of today.
有人將台南比擬成日本的京都或者德國波恩。昨日的首府,走到今日步調較慢,較田園的城市。
Despite technological industrialization and modernization, many historical sites are still left intact. While you are in Tainan, be sure to check out these historical sites. There are many local snacks with long history that you won't want to miss out, either.
儘管在科技工業化、現代化中,很多古蹟並沒有被破壞。到台南一定要看這些古蹟。而且台南有多樣與歷史悠久的小吃,你不會想錯過。
To fully appreciate an ancient capital like Tainan, we recommend that you walk around the alleys and use your senses to mingle with that piece of history while being interwoven with modernization.
想要充分賞味像台南這樣古都的滋味,我們建議用你在巷弄中漫步,用各種感官去一邊與城市的那一段歷史做交融,一邊與現代文化做交織。
From the high speed rail station or train station, we recommend that you take a taxi and fully utilize the newly established city buses to get to places.
我們建議你搭計程車和充分運用新成立的大台南公車,從高鐵站或是火車站,到你想去的地方。
The traffic volume is usually quite high in the inner city, so you can expect some delays due to traffic. If you happen to drive, finding a parking spot shouldn't be too challenging during non-holiday seasons despite the narrow alleys in the city.
市區車流量通常很大,所以交通可能會延誤。雖然市區巷弄狹窄,如果你開車的話,平常日子停車位並不難找。
