Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only required when the power supply is significantly different. In Tainan, it’s pretty much the same as in the U.S., so no need to bring one.
Before plugging in your electronics abroad, always double-check the voltage label. If it says “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device will work on both 120V and 220-240V power sources without a converter. This is common for tablets, laptops, cameras, and rechargeable toothbrushes.

More About Tainan
Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and it wears its history with pride. It’s packed with temples—literally hundreds of them—each tucked into a corner, alley, or courtyard, just waiting to surprise you.
It’s also a food capital. Local snacks like oyster omelets, coffin bread (it’s tastier than it sounds), and sweet-savory milkfish dishes are everywhere. There’s something nostalgic about Tainan, like time slows down a little as you wander its narrow streets.
Tainan uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Taiwan.
