Eternal Golden Castle, Coastal fortress in Anping District, Tainan, Taiwan.
The Eternal Golden Castle spans three hectares with tall walls, corner bastions, and a moat surrounding a central square training field.
French architect Bordeaux designed this military structure in 1874, incorporating bricks from Fort Zeelandia to create a defense against potential invasions.
The fortress represents late Qing Dynasty military architecture, featuring British Armstrong cannons and traditional Chinese defensive engineering principles.
Visitors can reach the site by taking buses 2, 7, 12, or 20 to Ximen stop from Tainan Station, followed by bus 15 to Miaoshouli.
The castle maintains one operational artillery piece, which performers in period uniforms demonstrate during scheduled historical reenactments.
