Taiwan’s old capital of temples and snacks, a tropical national park and a lake among tea hills.

Tainan was Taiwan’s first capital and is its food capital still, a city of hundreds of temples, Dutch forts and snack stalls that have sold the same dish for generations. Kenting National Park at the southern tip has coral coast, beaches and surf; Sun Moon Lake, up in the central mountains, is ringed by cycle paths and tea plantations, with a cable car to an aboriginal culture village.
