Attraction Description:
Anping Old Castle The center of any visit to Anping is the old fort. Anping Fort is built on the foundations of the Dutch stronghold named Fort Zeelandia. That fort was the anchor point of early settlements in Tainan for both the Dutch and the Chinese, and much of the settlement's history lies in Anping's old streets surrounding the fort.The fort has changed hands and changed names many times over. The Dutch first called it Orlande, but then changed it to Fort Zeelandia. It became Anping Castle when it was the home of Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga). The Japanese called it the Old Dutch Fort just as they were demolishing what remained after decades of neglect.
