Nanhua District

Nanhua District is a rural administrative area in Tainan situated on hilly terrain with multiple villages scattered across its landscape. The region features a mosaic of settlements connected by mountain roads and surrounded by natural areas.

The area became an administrative district in 2010 when Tainan County merged with Tainan City under a single government structure. This reorganization reshaped how local governance operated for residents.

Local temples serve as gathering places where residents come together for worship and celebration throughout the year. These sacred spaces reflect the spiritual values that shape daily life in this mountainous region.

The district is best explored by personal vehicle since villages are spread across mountain roads and not closely connected. Visitors should allow extra time for travel between locations due to the hilly terrain.

Two reservoirs sit within this district and play a crucial role in managing water resources for surrounding communities. The larger Nanhua Reservoir is a significant landscape feature that visitors can see when traveling through the area.
