Taiwan is one of the safest countries in the world! Tainan is the oldest city of Taiwan, located in the south of the island. The people here are extremely friendly and down-to-earth. Seriously, the only thing dangerous here is probably the messy traffic because everyone sucks at driving.

It is really safe in Taiwan. You can even wander on the street at midnight. There are surveillance cameras everywhere and people are really nice there. The only thing you have to be careful is the traffic. People might drive fast.

It’s the place the you can walk alone even it’s ten pm in the evening. If you find yourself being lost, you can simply ask a stranger local on the way and they’ll kindly point you out the route. I’m sure it’s one of the safest places I’ve been to
