Tainan, Historical coastal city in southwestern Taiwan
Tainan extends across southwestern Taiwan with 37 districts, from coastal areas near the Taiwan Strait to inland agricultural regions and urban centers.
The Dutch East India Company established Fort Zeelandia as a trading post in 1624, marking the beginning of Tainan's development as Taiwan's first capital.
The city contains over 1,600 registered temples, including the Taiwan Confucian Temple and numerous Buddhist and Taoist shrines throughout its districts.
Visitors can access Tainan through the Taiwan High Speed Rail station, which connects to major cities, while local buses serve the spread-out districts.
The Anping Tree House displays a natural merger between architecture and nature as banyan trees grow through and around a former merchant building.
