The city of Tainan rises from the southwestern coastal plains of Taiwan, and is often called The Birthplace of Taiwan. In 1624, Dutch traders established a fort on the sandy peninsula Anping and you can wander the fort’s ramparts and the nearby ruins of a merchant house held together by banyan roots.

With over 2000 temples and shrines, Tainan is also known as The Kyoto of Taiwan. Highlights include the Sacrificial Rites Martial Temple and the Confucian Temple.
