Annan District

Annan District is an administrative area of Tainan City that spans different landscapes across the region. The territory includes inland hills and extends to coastal wetlands in the west, containing villages, farmland, and natural habitats.

The area was originally a rural township of Tainan County before becoming an official district of Tainan City in 1946 following Taiwan's transfer from Japanese administration. This transition reshaped the local administrative structure.

The Luerhmen History and Culture Museum shows how this coastal region developed through its connection to the sea and local traditions. Visitors can see objects and learn about the way people shaped their lives around the water and seasonal changes.

The district connects through multiple highways and provincial roads, including National Freeway 8 and various provincial routes that make travel through the area easier. These main roads help visitors reach different parts and explore the region.

The Sicao Wetlands within Taijiang National Park contain extensive mangrove forests that form important habitats for water birds and marine animals. This ecosystem shows how nature and human activity coexist in this coastal setting.
