Shanhua District, Administrative district in Tainan, Taiwan

Shanhua District is an administrative area within Tainan City that encompasses multiple villages and rural neighborhoods across its territory. The region features a mix of residential communities and agricultural land.

The area was originally inhabited by indigenous Siraya people who called it Bakaloan before Dutch settlers arrived in 1635. Dutch control brought the establishment of schools and religious buildings to the territory.

Qing-An Gong temple serves as a gathering place where people honor Matsu through traditional celebrations throughout the year. This religious site shapes the rhythm of community life and connects residents to their beliefs.

Shanhua Station connects the district through rail transport and major highway routes including the Formosa Freeway. Good connections make it easy to reach the area from other parts of the city.

The district is known for its productive farmland where local farmers grow rice, sugarcane, strawberries, and watermelons. Agricultural research centers collaborate with these farmers to improve cultivation techniques and crop yields.
