The new wonders that old Tainan offers travelers are actually brewing within historic buildings, enticing people to come and rediscover lost times. The fragments of those golden eras might just be thriving in newly established old-house cafés, eateries, hotels, and bars. When visiting the ancient city of Fucheng, be sure to slow your pace, take a different rhythm from your daily life to count the city’s years, and let the emotions stirred by these old houses settle in your heart. Spend a day following 《Tainan Daily: A Little Journey Through Old Houses》, and breathe leisurely together with Tainan.

This book introduces 47 cafés, restaurants, bars, and more, all transformed from old houses in Tainan, and outlines 6 major themes, presenting readers with “A Leisurely Day in Fucheng: Six Itineraries.” These include “Morning, Starting with Your Palate,” “Afternoon, Savoring Slow Tea Time,” “Feast, Dining with the Essence of Time,” “Good Night, Staying Within the Flow of Time,” “Nightfall, Tipsy Under the Starlit Sky,” and “A Special Chapter on Tainan’s Cultural Creativity.” It allows readers to indulge in the morning light from a laid-back start, enjoy a delicious brunch at the pace of Tainan’s four hundred years, wander into old alleys in the afternoon, and feel the nostalgic scents carried by coffee and tea. In the evening, savor either European cuisine, Chinese dishes, or Japanese-inspired flavors, all enhanced by the good taste of time within these old walls. At night, stay amidst the simple charm of antiquity, or let the blend of night, old houses, and alcohol blur the lines between past and present—so what if you lose track of what day or era it is?

Coming to Tainan, a cultural ancient capital that has naturally exuded humanistic charm through centuries of history, an increasing number of cultural creative youths are drawn here. Visit the 6 cultural creativity shops featured in 《Tainan Daily: A Little Journey Through Old Houses》, where the atmosphere of old houses inspires a touch of artistic flair.
