Tainan · Things to do

Tainan's signature dish: raw local beef cooked at the table by boiling broth. Six Thousand and Wenzhang open before sunrise.

The shop that invented the dish in 1895, still cooked on a low stool over a clay stove set in the doorway.

An old dormitory block sliced open and painted blueprint blue, now studios, cafes and street art off Ximen Road.

Grand Mazu, the Official God of War temple and Wufei Temple all sit within a few blocks of each other in the old centre.

Morning market where locals queue for fish stew, eel noodles and coffin bread. Most stalls are shut by early afternoon.
