Anping Fort

Quick visit of the fort, you can go on top of the tower. They have an app which allow you to travel using AR, helping you to see how the full complexe was prior the current status. A small museum is made, it is good to start form there. The tickets for foreigners is 70NT and for Student it is 35NT provided you show a physical student card ( photo on the phone doesn’t work). If you are coming by car, plenty of free and paid parking lots are available.

A good historical place to visit and very interesting since it captured the influence of the Dutch in the past. While I could understand Chinese, it was helpful to have English explanations too. Place can be a little hot during summer and parking can be hard to find around the area. Seems like the gate is not properly located on Google maps as well so we ended up having go around before finding it.

Historical place which gives a peek into Dutch colonial history in Taiwan. It is a nice place to hangout. Recommend taking the free walking tour around the town including the fort. There are some stairs and it might not be wheelchair friendly.

A good museum to learn more about the history of Tainan. Not everything has translations so be ready with google translate. There was a busy little market going on outside when I was there (Saturday afternoon)

This is a must see attraction if you are interested in the history of Taiwan. I can’t believe I waited 30 years before I visited. It’s a very small complex so it’s easy to see in a short time but it is brimming with history.

Very informative place. If you are kind of people who like to learn about history. You must to go here! This place tells you a story at very beginning of Taiwan, as we know that Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan. From VOC to the Japan Era, all were explained here. The place also well maintaned. And you must buy a ticket to get in.

Nice fort with a gift shop that has airconditioning. We were here while there was a heat warning which was our mistake. I think we would have enjoyed it more if we went on a cooler day.

This museum is worth visiting if you are staying in Tainan. Tickets are very affordable. One issue was in the exhibition hall not everything was translated into English.

A must visit if you are in Tainan. I lived in this city for 3.5 years, and it seems this historical and cultural site has received quite a few upgrades. They now have the Fort Zeelandia museum that introduces the fascinating history of Tainan in the 16th century, including Dutch trade as well as the eventual Ming dynasty campaign of Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) against Dutch forces that lasted 9 months. The tour was guide very detailed about the walls which have been preserved, with a history of over 500 years. Some Dutch cannons have been maintained, and the tower was actually built in the 1900s. Excellent place to take students who have a good understanding of Chinese. If you can, hire an English speaking tour guide to learn about this amazing cultural site!

Cool historical place to check out. Lots of history that they tried to preserve. Walking distance to the Anping tree house as well and the anping old street is also busy with many shops and good eats and drinks.

It's a 17-century historical fort built on a peninsula by the Dutch East India Company. Anping Old Fort 安平古堡 is now a museum. The structure along with the trees have amazingly stood the test of time. Definitely worth coming here today! Cost of entry was a measly NT$50.

Beautiful old through decades from Chinese dynasty, the Dutch, the Spanish, and even the Japanese. Many renovations were made and some were purposely removed to be rebuild into the way they wanted/needed back then. Unfortunately, one of the building was closed due to a change of exhibits. But the one on the top and all around outdoor area are still opened. There are pictures, paragraphs to explain the history, a lookout, a souvenir store, cannons replicas, and other stores in there. There's a restroom as well on the side. It's my second time there and can't get bored.

One of the historical landmark, very spacious and a lot walking required to explore this spot, could be very hot during summer day times.

Maybe because I'm a history buff so I have a slight bias towards historical monuments and the like, but I have to say, the Anping Old Fort was one of the coolest parts of my tour of Taiwan. Taiwan is an island where over the centuries, many cultures mixed and interacted, with the Dutch being one of them. This fort is a great example of such an interaction. The fort is beautifully preserved and gives you a chance to look back in time and experience how things were back then. Being that this is one of the highest points in the city of Tainan, you really have a fantastic view of everything going on around you. You can see the many cannons that surround the fort, defending it from past aggressors. You can feel the thick fort walls that would have defended the occupants from a ground assault. As you walk around and look, you can't help but feel how cool history is. So, if you are in the area, be sure to drop by and check this place out. Maybe it just might help you love history a little more

One of the main attractions at the Anping area and it's a nice place to walk around, especially when the weather is nice. The view from the top is great, but don't expect too much from the Fort itself. If you don't know much about it, read up on it before going. I didn't see much English explanation and the history of the place sounds amazing. There's plenty of street parking if you go on the weekdays, but I heard the weekend is a nightmare since there is only one street in and one street out.
