Came across this article on a Korean traveller’s perspective while travelling in Taiwan.
[quote]Tainan City
Located on the coastal edge of the fertile Jianan Plateau, Tainan is the oldest Chinese settlement on Taiwan and the island’s fourth largest city. Until the late 19th century, Tainan served as the political, cultural, and economic center of Taiwan. Tainan was a Dutch settlement and trading post from 1624 to 1662.
The city still remains the most advanced in terms of culture and education throughout Taiwan. [/quote]
Very perceptive traveler.
