Tainan is a city best explored on foot. A fort built by the Dutch four centuries ago, a station from the Japanese colonial era and a library that opened only a few years ago all sit on the same map, with one small food stall after another in between.

ExploreStamp's "A Walk Through Tainan" route picks six of them: two historic sites, a station, a library, a museum and a bowl of tofu pudding. This post covers what's worth seeing at each one and how to fit them into two days.

Many people who travel in Taiwan collect commemorative stamps. Next to a station ticket window, at a museum exit, at the door of a shop on an old street, there's often a stamp and an ink pad waiting. What makes stamping fun is that you have to actually go there.

ExploreStamp brings this onto your phone and adds what a paper stamp book can't do: photos, dates, a map, and routes planned in advance.
