It's a pity that the rowing boats are not open during the epidemic😔 Many people take photos in front of the city gate. It is inevitable to take a few photos when visiting here. Behind the city gate is a martial arts training ground, high-rise city walls and artillery platforms. They are very well maintained and I even saw people having a picnic. There are stairs on all four sides to go up to the tower to see the fort, imagine the scenery and solemnity of a hundred years ago Opposite the city gate are three large artillery platforms. From the small hill, you can have a complete view of the riverbank. Looking inside, you can also see the location of the artillery depot (ruins). There are children playing inside, which is really a bit cute. Finally, I must praise the restroom here 🚻 The most inconvenient thing about going to the scenic spot is to solve physiological problems, but it is surprisingly clean inside.

When I came to Anping, Tainan, in addition to Anping Fort, old street food and sunset harbor, the place I couldn't miss the most was this calm and low-key red brick fortress - Yizai Jincheng. Unlike the elegance of Chihkan Tower, this place is more like a silent warrior, guarding the page of history that is most reluctant to be forgotten. 🏛️ The origin of Yizai Jincheng: a city born out of crisis This Western-style fort was built in 1874. It was a modern military fortress built by the Qing Dynasty to strengthen Taiwan's coastal defense and resist foreign enemies after the "Mudan Incident". It was designed by British engineers hired by Taiwan Governor Shen Baozhen and built with red bricks and mud. It has a square layout, is surrounded by a moat, and has forts and barracks. It was one of the most advanced military facilities at the time. Its name "Yizai" means "immortality for trillions of years", symbolizing the firm belief in defending Taiwan. Although it no longer carries out military missions, the war and peace it witnessed are still speaking quietly through every red brick and every ancient cannon. 📷 Photography and walking highlights recommended 📸 Must-take classic angles: reflections of the city walls and moats, especially when the sun shines, the red bricks are reflected on the water, the picture is extremely beautiful 📸 After entering the south gate, walk up the city wall and overlook the entire castle and the arrangement of cannons 📸 Friends who like ancient pictures, don’t miss the British military building ruins near the northeast corner, the red bricks and moss marks are super tasteful 📸 Afternoon or dusk is the best time for walking and taking pictures, the sun is gentle, there are fewer tourists, and the atmosphere is just right 📸 Children will especially like the "Ancient Cannon Display Area", where they can observe the 19th century cannon model up close This place is quieter than you think and better to take pictures than you think. It is a place where many Tainan people "will bring their friends from other places to." 📍【Eternal Golden City Information Notes】 Location: No. 3, Guangzhou Road, Anping District, Tainan City Opening hours: 08:30–17:30 (open all year round) Tickets: Full ticket NT$70, half ticket NT$35 (free for Tainan residents) Recommended stay time: about 45–60 minutes Surrounding attractions to visit: Lin Mo Niang Park, Anping Old Street, Anping Tree House, Xiyou Branch Office Transportation: Tainan Railway Station can be reached by bus/YouBike is also convenient 💭 From a war fortress to a historical quiet place I like Eternal Golden City because it is not in a hurry to talk. There are no crowds of tourists, and there is no pressure to force you to "take beautiful photos". It just lies quietly in time, letting the wind blow, letting the children run, and letting the sunset fall. If you are willing to slow down, you will find that, You can hear history speaking between red bricks, beside the moat, and beside the ancient cannons It is not passionate or tragic, but just tells you: I have been here and guarded this land. 📌"A castle that no longer fights still silently guards the memory of Taiwan." In Anping, I have seen the sea, eaten shrimp rolls, and walked through the old streets, but what calmed me down the most was the afternoon sunshine and red brick fortress of the Eternal Golden City. A trip here is not just a walk, but also the most gentle visit to history. #5月好去处2025

#Sign up for October hotel test sleeper Erkunshen Fort, or Erkunshen Fort, formerly known as Sankunshen Fort, now commonly known as Yizai Jincheng, is a fort built during the Qing Dynasty. Located in Anping District, Tainan City, Taiwan, it is a national historic site under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of China. The Erkunshen Fort is basically a square fort, surrounded by brick walls and brick trenches on all four sides. There are relatively protruding bastion structures in the four corners, with a cannon mounted on top. The bastion is higher than its surroundings, with roads and low walls, while the walls of the turret are inclined at 45 degrees. The walls between the bastions are concave, mainly designed to allow the gun team to defend against enemies that have invaded nearby. The fort's gate was built using the Flemish Bond method, with "Eternal Golden City" and "A Pillar of Strength" inscribed on the front and back, respectively. These were inscriptions by Shen Baozhen. The fort was mainly built with cement and bricks, some of the bricks being taken from the then-collapsed Fort Zeelandia.

Anping Fort Anping Fort, originally named Fort Zeelandia, is one of Taiwan's oldest forts, built by the Dutch in 1624. This fort not only witnessed Taiwan's early trade prosperity but also served as the center of Dutch colonial rule. The initial design of the fort included a square inner city and a rectangular outer city, highlighting its strategic defensive importance. In 1661, after Koxinga expelled the Dutch, he renamed it Anping and made it the residence of the Zheng dynasty, hence it was also known as 'King's City' or 'Taiwan City.' Today, visitors can still see the well-preserved southern wall of the outer city intertwined with old banyan trees, narrating over 300 years of history. Anping Tree House Anping Tree House was originally a warehouse of Tait & Co. During the Japanese colonial period, it was used by the Japan Salt Company along with the Tait & Co. building. After World War II, the warehouse was briefly used by Taiwan Salt Company but was later abandoned, allowing banyan trees to grow freely inside and outside the building, eventually creating the unique 'tree in house, house in tree' landscape seen today. This symbiosis of nature and man-made structures has made Anping Tree House a popular spot for exploration and photography. In 2004, the site was redeveloped with overhead iron walkways and wooden paths, making it easier for visitors to explore this unique historical landscape. Eternal Golden Castle Eternal Golden Castle, also known as 'Anping Big Fort' or 'Erkunshen Fort,' is a Western-style fort built during the Qing Dynasty to defend against foreign invasions. Designed by a French engineer, it features a bastion-style square structure with protruding corners, a concave center, and a moat, showcasing advanced military design concepts. After its completion, Eternal Golden Castle played a significant role in the Sino-French War and the First Sino-Japanese War. During the Japanese colonial period, the fort fell into disrepair due to lack of maintenance. After several restorations, it has now become a famous tourist attraction in Tainan. Every spring, the surrounding yellow trumpet trees bloom, adding to the scenic beauty of the site. Reflections Anping Fort, Anping Tree House, and Eternal Golden Castle bear witness to Tainan's rich and colorful history. Visiting these places is not only an exploration of history but also a journey back in time. At Anping Fort, standing beside the weathered walls, one can almost feel the intense confrontations between the Dutch and the Zheng dynasty, along with the subsequent centuries of change and decline. The remaining red brick walls and the old banyan trees climbing over them silently tell ancient stories. The existence of Anping Tree House amazes visitors with the marvelous combination of nature and man-made structures. The abandoned warehouse intertwined with the roots of banyan trees creates a unique landscape. It is both a natural wonder and a historical witness, evoking a sense of the power of time and the resilience of life. Eternal Golden Castle showcases the military wisdom of the late Qing Dynasty and the fusion of Chinese and Western technologies. This sturdy fort played a crucial role in wars, but as time passed, its military value diminished, and it has now become an important site for understanding history and appreciating architectural aesthetics. Walking through the area during the blooming season of the yellow trumpet trees, one can truly appreciate the harmonious beauty of history and nature. Overall, these three historical sites not only reflect Tainan's profound historical heritage but also demonstrate the city's commitment to cultural preservation. Tainan's historical buildings and cultural atmosphere are undoubtedly treasures not to be missed by history and culture enthusiasts. Each visit brings new insights and emotions.
