The Pokémon GO "Routes" launched on Jan 20 include a total of 30 Routes spanning 9 administrative districts, including Anping, West Central, Yanshui, Baihe, Longqi, Beimen, Jiangjun, Annan, and Qigu, with over 200 attractions.

As travelers embark on the Pokémon GO City Safari in Tainan, not only will they encounter breathtaking scenery, but also engage in profound cultural experiences and enjoy tantalizing culinary delights. These experiences are sure to leave a deep and lasting memory of Tainan in the hearts of Pokémon trainers. These rich experiences are set to leave lasting impressions, as evidenced by why CNN listed Tainan in "Where to go in 2024: The best places to visit" confirming its status among the top 24 cities globally worth visiting.

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che noted that this year is particularly significant for the city's tourism, highlighted by events such as the Taiwan Lantern Festival, the Creative Expo Taiwan, and the Taiwan Design Expo. Tainan is celebrated for its rich natural ecology, diverse landscapes, unrivaled cuisine, and a wealth of attractions, and reputed to be the most hospitable among Taiwanese cities. In recent years, the city has focused on preserving its traditional architecture and cultural heritage while also injecting innovative elements into these unique features. Meticulous efforts have been made to maintain historical monuments and to revive forgotten stories and architecture, allowing them to shine anew and enhancing the city’s charm. To create a more suitable environment for visitors to appreciate Tainan's landscapes, mountains, and coastal scenery with peace of mind, this time, with the guidance of the 30 official Pokémon GO Routes, travelers can experience a refreshing new experience in Tainan.
