Tainan Anping Fort Zeelandia ✨ Explore history and culture!

#2月好地方2025 Anping Fort, formerly known as Fort Zeelandia, is one of the most historically significant monuments in Tainan. In the 17th century, in order to control Taiwan’s trade and military, the Dutch built a castle here, which became the most important stronghold at the time. Later, Zheng Chenggong conquered this place and renamed it "Anping Town", thus starting the era of Han Chinese rule in Taiwan. Today, some red brick walls and artillery positions are still preserved in the castle, as if telling the story of past wars and changing circumstances. When you come to Anping Fort, you can not only climb up to the observation deck to overlook Anping Harbor, but also explore the cultural relics and historical materials in the museum and feel the prosperity of Taijiang Inland Sea in the past. In addition, the surrounding Anping Old Street, snacks and canal scenery are also fascinating. Strolling through the ancient monuments while tasting shrimp rolls and candied fruits, the perfect fusion of history and food is the most charming part of Anping Fort! #historical #architecture #travel #Taiwan #landscape #culture #check-in #tourism #photography #historical architecture
