Anding District

Anding District is an administrative division in Tainan that comprises multiple neighborhoods including Sulin, Sucuo, Anding, Baoxi, and Anjia. The area functions as a residential and local government center serving the southern portion of the city.

The area was known as Bakloan during the Dutch colonial period and contained an indigenous settlement. It later developed into the present administrative district following the merger of the former county with the city.

The Changsing Temple and Little Confucius Temple show traditional architecture and reflect how local residents practice their faith. These spaces serve as gathering points for the community, especially during festivals and religious ceremonies.

The area is accessible by public transportation and features municipal government offices distributed across residential neighborhoods. Visitors will find services and facilities spread throughout the various sections.

The name Anding itself comes from a traditional concept meaning peaceful and stable, reflecting how the community has developed around harmony and balance. Visitors often discover small historical markers and temples tucked away in neighborhoods that reveal layers of local stories beyond what most guidebooks mention.
