Free & Easy Taiwan - 8D7N Part 2/3, 2 Nights in Tainan, Jan 2023

 

Tainan is widely considered the culinary capital of Taiwan, and for good reason. Its food scene is deeply rooted in history and tradition, offering a unique blend of authentic Taiwanese flavors that are often sweeter than in other parts of the country. The city is a paradise for food lovers, known for its small, delicious (小吃) and a vibrant street food culture.

This will be a very long post just on my 3 days 2 nights in Tainan!

This time we use a private car charter from Taichung to Tainan.

It takes about 3hours non-stop from Taichung to Tainan by Car, but we stopped by several places before reaching Tainan.

We had breakfast at Taichung lai lai soybean before departing for the next city.

Taiwan trip in Dec 2022, first trip after COVID

Taiwan has been one of my favourite holiday destination before Covid period.

The delicious food, the friendly Taiwanese are one of the main reasons for my repeated visits.

Prices in Taiwan has significantly increased after covid, hotels and food are not as affordable compared to pre-covid. Most food prices are almost similar to what we paid in SG or are just slightly lower, and if we compare to the living standards in Taiwan, it is very much less affordable for them.

This will be our first trip back to Taiwan again after Covid and we were really excited.

There are still some Covid rules however quarantine is not required anymore, people still wear masks outdoor ~

We took the afternoon flight on new year eve from Singapore to Taoyuan.

Landed in the evening and took the HSR to Taichung immediately..

It was already 8/9 pm when we reached Taichung, most people are already at the countdown location waiting and enjoying the countdown performance.
