[2025 Tainan Attraction] Travel Guide for King of Yanping Memorial Temple (Updated Jun)

#100 Ways to Travel The #YanpingPrinceShrine, which worships #ZhengChenggong, has a majestic statue of a man riding on horseback, which symbolizes that the Prince of Yanping guarded the city, so he was called the #KaishanKing. The Kaishan Road next to it was also named after him. Even during the Japanese colonial era, he was worshipped at the Kaishan Shrine, which shows the status of Zheng Chenggong in the hearts of the people. The Temple of Prince Yanping is a typical Fuzhou-style building with red walls and gray tiles, but it also has some Japanese style. The eight door gods painted on the four doors of the temple are all foreigners with blue eyes and white skin. It is because of gratitude to Zheng Chenggong for driving away the Dutch that the foreigners were allowed to wear Ming Dynasty official robes and continue to guard the temple door for him. It is quite special. The #Zheng Chenggong Cultural Relics Museum next to it houses many precious historical relics. It was later changed to the #Tainan City Museum at the end of 2023. The collection display content is richer, and it is also a good place to learn about Tainan's history and culture. #Tainan alleys looking for food

#Exhibition #100 Ways to Travel #Tainan City Museum , located in the #Yanping Junwang Temple park on Kaishan Road, has undergone several name changes, from the Taiwan Historical Archives, Tainan City History Museum, National Cultural Relics Museum to the Zheng Chenggong Cultural Relics Museum, until it was named Tainan City Museum at the end of last year. It is so low-key that even Tainan residents rarely visit it, and tourists only know about the Chimei Museum and the Tainan Art Museum. Although the Tainan City Museum is small and beautiful, the building itself is very distinctive. It was designed by Professor He Chenci of the Department of Architecture at National Cheng Kung University. It combines modernist architectural features with Chinese classical architectural elements, combining modern simplicity with traditional simplicity. Its most representative features are mud window panes, red brick walls, and cypress window frames. The first floor of the museum is a special exhibition, and the second floor is a regular exhibition #自造台南, which talks about the historical origins of Tainan and is divided into nine exhibition areas according to the timeline: Tainan DNA, Sea of ​​Opportunities, Eastern Capital, City Structure, City of Prosperity, Flowing Crowds, Guarding the Palace and Gathering New, Southern Modernity, Building the Southern Capital Together, and Unfinished City: Compose a Song of Tainan Together. The museum combines cultural relics exhibits with multimedia interactive technology to introduce Tainan's history in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Tickets are not expensive. For 50 yuan, you can visit both the special exhibition and the permanent exhibition, and appreciate this historic building that was completed in 1965. The surrounding Kaishan Road and Fuqian Road are the first-tier battlegrounds for Tainan's snacks and delicacies. Visiting historical sites and cultural relics, exploring the alley culture, and tasting snacks and delicacies, aren't these the three indispensable elements of traveling in Tainan! #Tainan alleys looking for food
