Tainan Venture here and explore Taiwans oldest city. Hello: Tainan has a lot of airpollution. I am not sure how they measure it, but as someone who has been in traffic in other Asian cities that are considered 'polluted' Tainan is a special case. Imagine 1 million 2 cycle motors buzzing around and smoking up narrow roadways, and you have no choice but to breath it in. People wear these paper masks, but that only means you breath the toxins deeper into your lungs. I used to get sick and nearly pass out at the intersections. But the Tainanese grow up with it, so they don't really know any different. They actually say that Taipei is worse, which just shows their pride and lack of logic, as they frequently express how Taipei people are mean, and their food (Tainan literally puts heaping amounts of table sugar and syrups to make everything sweet) is not good as Tainan's, and yada yada yada. There is however a place of refuge to get a wif of real fresh air, and that place is the beach. Tainan has miles of potentially great beach front. Unfortunately, it is a flat out shame that the locals only know how to throw their trash there. I cannot believe people all over Taiwan do not demand a more accessible beach from the HSR, rather than the inconveniant Kenting.
The Anping River could use some sprucing up as well. It looks and smells horrible. I been all over in Asia and I would say that the air pollution in Tainan is the worst I ever expereinced.

I was born in and spent most of my childhood in Tainan. My family and I immigrated to the United States when I was just 11 years old. I have not been back to Tainan in 37 years. After watching the videos, I started to reminisce about my childhood in Tainan. I still have a lot of memories about it. I really miss it. I would love to pay a visit someday. I am going to wait until I have the time and the money.

UGH, the two cities in Taiwan I wanted to visit most Tainan and Lukang I had to skip, because they were too difficult to get to. Less than 2 hours by bullet train, yes. But she forgot to mention the bullet train stops about 10 miles outside the city center and even further from Anping. So you need a lot of time and money for transportation. A day trip from Taipei is virtually impossible.
