A few weeks ago, Aaron and I took a day trip to Tainan, the lovely southern Taiwan city crammed with parks, beautiful old Banyan trees, and historic temples and forts. It was balmy and charming and also had delicious local food like dan zai noodles 擔仔麵 and shrimp dumplings 蝦仁肉丸. One day wasn’t enough. Hsinchu might be full of meatballs and engineers, but quaint it isn’t.
