A technology company has partnered with the Tainan City Government to create a website where visitors can collect virtual stamps. Themed around festivals and performance culture, the FunTainan website utilizes the latest in web design to bring visitors on a journey of Tainan’s 400 years of history.
The Tainan City Government in collaboration with a private technology company are launching a digital “stamp collection” website. By simply scanning a QR code, visitors to Tainan can collect virtual mementos of their travels.

You can see the QR code over there. Take out your phone and scan it, and you can collect a stamp. We’ve put these in a lot of places frequented by travelers.
The stamps are themed around Tainan’s rich cultural heritage from the past 400 years, but with a modern spin merging the physical with the digital. Through the platform, visitors have a new way to experience the city’s many temples, shopping centers and cultural landmarks.

Through use of these modern technologies, visitors can experience Tainan in a different way.
The company also worked with digital payment platforms and local shopping associations to bring an array of payment methods to traditional stores.

If all the different payment methods could be integrated into one platform, it would be really convenient for us.
Representatives from Kanazawa City even came especially from Japan to learn how to use modern technologies to promote a historic city.
Yeh Tse-shan
Tainan deputy mayor
Kanazawa and Tainan are both historic cities. We can link the two through digital platforms like this, whether in terms of history and culture or tourism.
The first digital stamp was made for Grand Matsu Temple, and will be expanded to encompass more shopping districts, giving visitors a brand-new way to enjoy the charms of Tainan.
