Traversing the span of 400 years, it takes a mere 3-hour flight from Vietnam to the ancient city of Tainan. Join your friends or family to put on qipaos for a stroll through Tainan's historical alleys and backstreets, immersing yourselves in the charm of the city's four-century history. Indulge in the culinary delights of Michelin-starred restaurants and century-old establishments. Stay in uniquely designed boutique homestays available for exclusive bookings. Tainan, with its cornucopia of sightseeing resources, has secured multiple travel safety certifications and implemented a full range of visitor-friendly measures. It promises to host every international visitor with the highest standards of hospitality that only befits an international city wholeheartedly dedicated to tourism.

Since Taiwan reopened its borders to international visitors on October 13, 2022, Tainan has emerged as one of the most recommended destinations. High on the list of Tainan's diverse and rich tourist attractions are the Sicao Green Tunnel, also fondly known as the "Little Amazon River"; the Chimei Museum that is distinctly reminiscent of European palaces; Taiwan's oldest salt fields; historical buildings scattered throughout its streets and alleyways. Moreover, Tainan will celebrate its 400^th anniversary in 2024. As is only fitting for this auspicious occasion, the city will host the Taiwan Lantern Festival, the most important annual event for Taiwan's tourism industry. Together with the Longci Light Festival, Yuejin Lantern Festival, Puji Temple's Lantern Festival, Chenggong Lantern Festival, and Shennong Street Lantern Festival, what awaits visitors is no less than the grandest event of its kind ever in this country. That's not all. The World Orchid Conference Trust (WOCT) has also chosen Tainan as host to both the 23^rd World Orchid Conference and the 20^th Taiwan International Orchid Show, a World Cup-like event for the orchid community that only takes place every three years. International travelers are invited to enjoy both the Taiwan Lantern Festival and the international orchid show at the same time.

Tainan City Government spares no effort in promoting tourism. Priority is given to attracting more international visitors and encouraging local tour groups to stay and spend in the city. Thus, the 2023 Incentive Program for the Travel Industry to Attract International Tourists has been implemented with a view to driving the city's tourism industry and enhancing its appeal to international tourists.
