Essentials

Best Area to Stay for Tourists
West Central, within walking distance of Chihkan Tower or Tainan TRA Station. Wikivoyage names those two as the easy bus landmarks. 1
City
Tainan City, a special municipality in southern Taiwan, the old capital and still the center for temples and street snacks. 1
Population
1,851,244 registered residents at the end of February 2026, on the city statistical indicators. 45
Internet Speed
Ookla September 2026 median for Taiwan, not split out for Tainan, was 306.88 Mbps down and 258.69 Mbps up on fixed broadband. Livingcost puts a 50 Mbps-plus home plan at about USD 21.60 a month, about NT$700 at the 19 Oct 2026 rate. 6 25 42
Currency & Banking
New Taiwan dollar (TWD, NT$). Bank of Taiwan spot mid used for this run is 32.445 TWD per US dollar on 19 October 2026. 42
Tap Water
Taiwan Water Company treats tap water as drinkable. Most people still boil or filter it because of chlorine and old rooftop tanks, and licensed refill stations are the usual backup. 2
Power
110 V, 60 Hz, plug types A and B (North American flat blades, with or without a ground pin). 2
SIM Card
Chunghwa Telecom 4G Traveller SIM, passport registration: the 30-day pass is NT$1,000 for 720 hours of unlimited data and NT$430 of voice credit. The 7-day 4G pass is NT$500; 5G traveller passes on the same page top out at 7 days for NT$800. 3
Banking for Expats
EasyCard and iPass are sold and topped up at convenience stores and work on buses and trains. This pass did not open a bank page that names an English-language account for new arrivals. 2
Accommodation
591 is the local listings board. An English mirror of current 591 ads shows furnished studios and one-room flats in Tainan mostly at NT$12,500 to NT$13,500 a month. 15
Cashless Friendly
EasyCard and iPass work in convenience stores and on city buses and trains. Cash is still normal at markets and small eateries. 2
Short Term Rentals
The same 591 mirror shows furnished monthly rooms around NT$12,500 to NT$13,500, and at least one current ad says a short let is allowed. 15
Budget Accommodation
A-Shin Hostel, 136 Fuzhong Street, West Central, near the Confucius Temple. Its own booking page lists a dorm bunk from NT$720 a night. 34
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
West Central around Youai Street, for Good Ideas Studio and the snack streets, or the East District around NCKU (1 University Road) if you want the campus, the language center and the Zhonghua East gyms. 8 38 24

Working and Networking

Best Coworking Space
Good Ideas Studio, 2F, 117 Youai Street, West Central (Youai Market). Day pass NT$200 (standing desk NT$300), 10:00-19:00; monthly hot desk NT$2,000; dedicated desk NT$3,000, or NT$3,500 for a standing desk, with 24-hour access. 8 35
Best Cafe for Work
The National Museum of Taiwan Literature, in a Japanese-era hall in West Central, is free and open Tue-Sun 09:00-18:00, and Wikivoyage notes the cafe. A laptop-hours price was not on the page. 1
Social Events for Expats
Dirty Roger, on Dongmen Road near the railway station, is the English-friendly bar Wikivoyage still lists (place note October 2024). A regular language-exchange night was not on that page. 1

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
Uber is the app visitors actually use. LINE GO and 55688 need a local number. The city meter, still posted by the airport, is NT$85 for the first 1.25 km, then NT$5 per 200 m, plus 20 percent from 23:00 to 06:00. 1 40
Bike/Scooter Rental
YouBike 2.0 is NT$10 per 30 minutes for the first four hours, then NT$20, then NT$40. A Tainan TPASS makes the first 30 minutes free. Federal Rental at TRA Tainan Station (73 Beimen Rd Sec. 2) lists a KYMCO GP125 at NT$300 on weekdays and NT$350 on holidays through 2026, but that promo asks for a Taiwan ID and a Taiwan motorcycle licence. 5 14
Best Beach Nearby
There is no city swimming beach. Anping Fort looks over the coast and is the usual sunset stop; Taijiang National Park wetlands and Qigu Lagoon are the nearby water. 1 31
Top Regional Airline
Uni Air from Tainan Airport (TNN, South District) to Kinmen and Penghu. The domestic board on 22 Oct 2026 showed several daily flights on both routes. 12
Top International Airline
Tigerair Taiwan is the airline on the Tainan Airport international board of 22 Oct 2026, with a few weekly flights to Naha and Kumamoto. Longer trips use Kaohsiung or Taoyuan. 13 1
Highway Access
National Freeway 1 (Yongkang and Rende interchanges) and National Freeway 8 into the city. Freeway 3 meets Freeway 8 at the Xinhua system. 32
Main Train/Transit Hub
Tainan TRA Station, by the old center, for island trains. Tainan HSR Station is at Shalun, about 10 km southeast, with a TRA shuttle back to Tainan Station. 1
Public Transport Passes
Tainan TPASS is NT$299 for 30 days of city buses, or NT$399 if it also covers TRA stations inside Tainan. The south cross-city pass (Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung) is NT$999. The city pass also makes the first 30 minutes of YouBike free. 4 5
Regional Travel
TRA Tainan to Kaohsiung is about 57 minutes and NT$102 on a local train, or about 38 minutes and NT$158 on a Tze-Chiang. THSR Tainan to Taipei is NT$1,350 reserved standard, or NT$1,305 non-reserved; Tainan to Zuoying is NT$140 reserved standard. 39 10

Best Dessert Spots

Affordable Shopping Spots
Garden Night Market (Huayuan), Haian Road Sec. 3 between Lixian and Hewei, open Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It is the large stall market for cheap food and goods. 1

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)

Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
Yongkang 2026 Q2 completed-home average was NT$308,000 per ping, about NT$93,200 per m². A 40 m² studio at that rate is about NT$3.7 million. 17
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Same East District 2025 presale median, about NT$173,500 per m². A 60 m² apartment at that rate is about NT$10.4 million. 16
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Same Yongkang 2026 Q2 average, about NT$93,200 per m². A 60 m² apartment at that rate is about NT$5.6 million. 17
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Same East District 2025 presale median, about NT$173,500 per m². An 80 m² apartment at that rate is about NT$13.9 million. 16
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Same Yongkang 2026 Q2 average, about NT$93,200 per m². An 80 m² apartment at that rate is about NT$7.5 million. 17
Corporate Tax
20% on taxable income over NT$120,000. Income up to NT$120,000 is exempt. Undistributed earnings can draw an extra 5% profit-retention tax. PwC reviewed this on 20 August 2026. 20
Dividend Withholding Tax
21% on dividends to a non-treaty non-resident. Many treaties cut that to 10% or 15%. PwC reviewed the table on 20 August 2026. 22
Tax System
A resident is someone present 183 days or more in the calendar year. Regular tax hits Taiwan-source income on the 2026 scale from 5% to 40%. Foreign income of NT$1 million or more can enter the 20% basic tax above a NT$7.5 million deduction. Non-residents pay 18% on Taiwan-source salary. 7 23
Highest Income Tax Bracket
40% on 2026 net taxable income over NT$5,190,000, from the eTax table dated 27 April 2026. 7
VAT
5% business tax (VAT) on most sales of goods and services. PwC reviewed this on 20 August 2026. 21
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Individual CFC profits count as foreign-source income and can be pulled into the 20% basic tax when foreign-source income is at least NT$1 million and basic income exceeds NT$7.5 million. PwC reviewed this on 20 August 2026. 23
Property Tax
Annual house tax is on the assessed building value: 1% for a qualifying sole owner-occupied home, 1.2% for other owner-occupied homes, and roughly 1.5% to 4.8% otherwise. Land value tax is 0.2% on qualifying self-use residential land, or 1% to 5.5% otherwise. Both use government values, not the market price. 18 21
Property Transaction Tax
A buyer pays deed tax of 6% of the assessed standard price on a sale, plus stamp tax of 0.1% of the contract. A non-resident seller of property acquired from 2016 pays house-and-land income tax at 45% if held two years or less, and 35% after that. A resident seller steps down from 45% to 15% with longer holding. 18 21 19
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
No general nomad flat tax. A Gold Card holder who stays 183 days and has salary over NT$3 million can exclude half of the salary above that line for five years, and only while working in the recognized profession. The Digital Nomad Visitor Visa uses the ordinary rules. 43 23
