Tainan IntroductionTainan City (臺南市 ) is a city in southern Taiwan. It is the fifth largest after New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, andTaipei. It was formerly a provincial city, and in 2010, the provincial city merged with the adjacent Tainan County to form a single direct-controlled municipality. Tainan faces the Taiwan Strait in the west and south. Tainan's complex history of comebacks, redefinitions and renewals inspired its popular nickname "City of the Phoenix."

Tainan was established as the capital of the Tungning Kingdom in 1661 and remained the capital of Taiwan prefecture under the Qing Dynasty until 1887, when the Qing established Taipei as the new provincial capital. Tainan has been historically regarded as one of the oldest cities in Taiwan, and its former name, Tayouan (大員 ), has been claimed to be the source of the name Taiwan. It is also one of Taiwan's cultural capitals, as it houses the firstConfucian school–temple, built in 1665, the remains of the Eastern and Southern gates of the old city, and countless other historical monuments. The city is also famous for its local snack food and night markets. Tainan claims more Buddhist and Taoist temples than any other city in Taiwan.Tainan has a humid subtropical climate that borders on a tropical wet and dry climate. The city is characterized by year-round high relative humidity and temperatures (although temperatures do dip somewhat in the winter months), with a rainy season (April to September) and a dry season (October to March).
