## What is Retro Taiwan?

Retro Taiwan catalogs over a thousand legally designated heritage sites and historic buildings across Taiwan, inviting you to rediscover the island at walking pace.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Every site comes from Taiwan's National Cultural Memory Bank and carries official heritage status — not a casual list, but buildings that have gone through formal cultural preservation review.

HOW IT WORKS
• Map overview — see nearby heritage buildings at a glance, with clusters for dense old towns
• Walking routes — auto-generated routes by theme and distance, no manual planning needed
• Check-ins & favorites — log the places you've visited and save the ones you love
• Five languages — Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
No marketing gloss — just each building's age, designation, and story. Your location data stays on your device and is never uploaded or shared.

Every old building and every street holds a story Taiwan hasn't finished telling. Open the map and start walking from your own neighborhood.
