Welcome to Taiwan, the small but beautiful island. I know it’s common to hear about the food and drink (especially bubble tea) in Taiwan. However, as a local guide, listen to me about something different.
I grow up in Taipei but study in Tainan, my parent’s hometown which is the first developed city in Taiwan 400 years ago. Taiwan is governed by different country, so we can enjoy the history of different foods, cusine from time to time, culture to culture. We don’t have long history on building, but we have in foods. It’s interesting to find new things when I travel around.
I know for some people they trust guide application/service, but from my opinion, if you don’t like visitor’s way to experienced a city, try google map. I always say, Google is the portal to internet and Google may is the portal to places. If you come to Taiwan, open Google map to look around and find something interesting, you will see my comment everywhere. The notification from Google map app helps me to leave message to you, you can know my experience in some time in the future.
Besides Google map, I recommend second app to experience life in Taiwan: FunNow. It’s a last minute booking app for everything fun. Try foot massage here, it shows you the best one only local people know.
