For 263 years, Tainan served as Taiwan’s capital under Dutch rule, the Kingdom of Tungning and later the Qing dynasty, earning its reputation as the island’s oldest city. Facing the Taiwan Strait on Taiwan’s western coast, it is often called the “Phoenix City” for its history of comebacks, reinvention and renewal. In 2020, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network classified Tainan as a “Sufficiency”-level global city.
