Shanhua District

Shanhua District occupies a section of Tainan City with a population of 51,526 residents spread across 17 villages and neighborhoods within its boundaries.

The territory changed from indigenous Siraya settlement known as Bakaloan to Dutch control in 1635, leading to establishment of educational institutions and religious centers.

The Qing-An Gong temple stands as a center of religious practice, where residents gather to honor Matsu through traditional ceremonies and festivals.

The district connects to major transport routes via Shanhua Station and maintains access to both the Formosa Freeway and Provincial Highway Number 1.

Local agricultural research institutions work with farmers to cultivate rice, sugarcane, strawberries, and watermelons in the fertile fields of the district.
