Tainan Eternal Golden City

Eternal Golden City, located in Anping District, Tainan City, is Taiwan's first Western-style fort. Built in 1874, it witnessed the vicissitudes of Taiwanese history during the late Qing Dynasty. A designated national monument, the fortress attracts countless visitors with its red brick walls, moats, and rich historical atmosphere. Strolling through the quaint gates and courtyards, one feels like stepping back in time, immersing oneself in the grandeur of the military fortress built by Shen Baozhen to defend against foreign enemies. The fort's large fortress and lush gardens complement each other beautifully, creating a photo op and immersing oneself in the rich history.

Eternal Golden City is not only a historical relic but also a cultural landmark of Tainan. Annual events like the "Anping Tiger God Cultural Festival" allow visitors to experience the charming blend of tradition and modernity. The adjacent Anping Old Street and food stalls offer Tainan snacks like shrimp cakes and oyster omelets, adding to the fun of the trip. Visiting in the morning or evening is recommended to avoid the midday heat and relax and enjoy the tranquility of the sea breeze and ancient ruins.
Easily accessible by Tainan City bus or by car, the entrance fee is affordable (NT$50 for all), making it suitable for families and history enthusiasts. Eternal Golden City offers not only a glimpse into Taiwan's modern history but also a uniquely Tainan atmosphere of slow living. It's a must-see!
