Sinhua District

Sinhua District is an administrative area in central Tainan marked by rolling terrain and farmland where crops including pineapples grow across the landscape. The area comprises several villages and communities scattered throughout, with rural settlements mixed among the cultivated fields.

The area was originally known as Tavocan among the Siraya indigenous people before Dutch settlers arrived in 1624. The region gradually transformed into an agricultural and trading hub through centuries of development and economic focus.

Sinhua Old Street shows baroque-style buildings from the early 1900s that shaped how people once worked and lived in this place. Walking through reveals how the district valued commerce and craftsmanship during that period.

The district is best explored by bus, as a central station connects the various villages and communities throughout the area. The hilly landscape means some spots require traveling on local roads, so planning ahead helps with getting around.

The Yang Kui Literature Memorial Museum honors a notable local writer and offers insights into his work and influence on the region. The museum sits within farmland, showing how artistic expression connects to the agricultural character of the place.
