🌳🏰 Anping Treehouse: Tainan’s Enchanting Ruin Reclaimed by Nature

#summervacay 📍 Why Visit? Once a 19th-century British trading warehouse, this site is now a surreal fusion of crumbling brick walls and giant banyan roots that twist through the structure like living veins. A must-see for history buffs, photographers, and nature lovers! 🗓️ Half-Day Itinerary: Treehouse, Forts & Tainan Bites Morning: Explore the Treehouse 8:30 AM – Arrive Early (opens at 8:30 AM; beat the heat/crowds). Walk the steel catwalks for up-close root views. Climb the observation tower for a canopy-level panorama. 10:00 AM – Anping Old Fort (Fort Zeelandia) Just 5min away—see Dutch-era cannons and Qing Dynasty walls. Midday: Anping Street Eats 12:00 PM – Lunch on Anping Old Street Must-try: Anping Shrimp Rolls (蝦捲) – Crispy and sweet. Tainan Coffin Bread (棺材板) – Thick toast stuffed with creamy chowder. Aiyu Jelly (愛玉冰) – Icy relief from the summer heat. Afternoon: Hidden Gems 2:00 PM – Anping Sword Lion Ceramics DIY paint a traditional "sword lion" tile (local mascot against evil). 3:30 PM – Eternal Golden Castle A 19th-century coastal fort with sea views (10min by taxi). 🌿 Surreal Details: ✅ Nature’s Takeover: Roots fuse with walls like a real-life Angkor Wat. ✅ Photo Hotspots: The "Root Tunnel" and sunlight-dappled corridors. ✅ Haunting Vibes: Silent except for rustling leaves and creaking branches. 📌 Pro Tips: Ticket: ~NTD 70 (includes treehouse + nearby warehouses). Transport: From Tainan Station, take bus 88 or 99 (30min). Summer Survival: Hat + water—shade is sparse inside! "This isn’t just a ruin—it’s where history and jungle collide in slow motion."
