Tainan is famous for food and temples.
I've had some pretty impressive food but also encountered quite a few underwhelming ones.
The biggest night market is Dadong/TaTung/大东夜市. It's only open on Mon, Tue, Fri. I think on the other nights, some of the mobile stalls will go to other night markets. Must try is the chicken drumstick wrapped in foil and steamed with herbs, the flavour is quite extraordinary, but be prepared to queue for it.
As for temples, they all look the same to me after a while...
My regret is missing Chimei Museum as I didnt know they changed their closure day to Wednesdays. It's a little out of the way, but really grand and the pride of Tainan (cabdriver uncle said so). The photos look good, so if you're into museums and art, it would be a good idea to check it out.
