From the full report

If you actually lived in Tainan

1. 01

   A weekday

   At first light you line up for beef soup, raw slices cooked by the ladle of boiling broth, with minced pork rice on the side. You scooter to work past three temples. Lunch is milkfish congee or steamed rice cake for a few dollars, and after work you nurse a drink in an old house bar on Shennong Street.

2. 02

   The weekend

   Eat shrimp rolls on Anping Old Street, climb Fort Zeelandia, built by the Dutch in the 1600s, for sunset, then hit Garden Night Market. Sunday you sleep in and browse the little shops around Zhengxing Street. In winter, drive to Qigu for the salt mountain and the rare black-faced spoonbills.

3. 03

   How you make friends

   Tainan people are warm and opinionated, and vendors will tell you exactly how their dish must be eaten. By week two, the grandma down the lane is asking whether you've eaten yet. Friends grow slowly out of the market, community college classes and the shaved ice shop on your corner. For someone who needs people as much as you do, this matters more than rent.

4. 04

   The moment you know this is the place

   An afternoon storm has just passed, incense drifts from the temple courtyard, water drips off old wooden shutters, and someone's radio plays an old love song.

5. 05

   Costs to know first

   Expect a long, brutal summer where the midday sun keeps everyone indoors. Public transit is thin, so no scooter means no life. Good jobs are scarce outside the science park, and on long weekends tourists turn every famous stall into an hour-long wait.
