Tainan
Tainan is Taiwan's oldest city and was the country's capital during the Qing dynasty. This old town has now been transformed into a hipster enclave with a multitude of food options that you can stuff your face with!
Take a look at an abandoned sugar refinery that is now the Ten Drum Cultural Village! Queue early for the best seats at the Taiko Drumming show and take a tour of the sugar mill afterwards. Retrace Tainan's history as a Dutch colony by visiting Fort Provintia and Fort Zeelandia or visit one of the city's oldest temples – Confucian Temple.

What to know before visiting Tainan
Overview of Tainan’s experiences and busiest rhythms
Tainan is a compact city known for museums, zoos & aquariums, historical sites and parks, with a travel year that swings between busy festival months and quiet late-summer lull. Klook booking data shows clear peaks and troughs, so many attractions follow a seasonal rhythm rather than steady demand.
When to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data marks January and several late-year months as the busiest, while August is the quietest month of the year. Prices drift up and down through the year: they’re typically lowest around July and stay relatively low into August and September, then climb toward peaks in late-year and spring months — May is shown as one of the priciest for past bookings. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for July–August; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for January or the late-year busy months. Where demand is high, prices generally rise too, but there are months where demand and price move differently, so compare both when you plan.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia typically book activities a few days ahead, with a common lead time of around three days, though some planners lock things in much earlier. If you’re flexible, many experiences can be arranged at short notice; if you prefer certainty during the peak months mentioned above, consider booking earlier on Klook to secure preferred time slots.
