Baihe District

Baihe District is an administrative area in Tainan characterized by lotus cultivation fields, agricultural zones, and natural hot spring areas. The landscape combines rural farming regions with local production centers that shape the area's economic and daily character.

The area developed from a market town called Tiam-a-khau, where Scottish missionary William Campbell established a chapel in 1875. This early religious foundation marked the beginning of modern settlement development in the region.

The Siraya indigenous people have maintained their presence here alongside Han Chinese residents, and their traditions shape local practices and celebrations. Daily life reflects the blend of agricultural customs and local craftsmanship that has been passed down through families.

Visitors can reach Baihe using Freeway 3 and various city routes that connect the district to Tainan's main areas. Having access to a vehicle makes it easier to explore sites spread across the region.

The area is known for extensive lotus farms that create a visual spectacle during blooming season and draw many visitors. The nearby Guanziling Hot Spring is a natural feature that stands out distinctly from the surrounding farmland.
