Tainan city flag already reported, but it seems this city changed its symbols
at least twice during past months.
The newest (current) flag can be seen
here (page 35) It was adopted on 23 December 2014. This flag has two
variants based on colours and elements of new city emblem.

The two flags you cited were the proposals of Tainan City flag announced on
Dec 23, 2014 by the authorities.
On Jan 28, 2015, the city government decided its new flag (to see page 40 in
this
document) on the
official
website.

The Logo consists in the petals of Flamboyant (Delonix regia), the City
Flower, and there is orange borderlines around the red petals. In the center,
there is an white image combined with the city name in Chinese characters,
"台南市", and an orange antique wall is in the middle. All of them are surrounded
by a marine blue Plum Blossom. The Plum Blossom is integrated into the City
Flag.

The former city logo was 1978 – Dec 22, 2014, but the former flag was 1978 – Dec
25, 2010. Since Dec 25, 2010 to Jan 28, 2015, the city flag has been suspended
officially, and the former has been unofficially considered as the city flag.

Three slightly different designs are found on the web, all based on the city
logo. This shows a five-petal flower outline with deep indentations and
sepals between each, all red, and on it a white very stylized letter
"南" ("nán") on (or in) some kind of blue bowl outlined in white both
in a red contour area, all this on a blue background area also shaped as a
five-petal flower.

At Globalflag, a dark blue flag with a
slightly different representation of the logo: thicker bowl outline, letter
and bowl directly on the flower and queer gaps in the flower shape showing
through the letter.

An identical design is shown but with light pruple instead of blue at
Edward-Lee.com (this presenting slightly
different designs on the flag and as the logo) and (perhaps as its source) at
vexilla-mundi.

Wikipedia presents the logo
unchanged on a medium blue background as the city flag.
