    The tree house is part of the grounds that include the former Tait and co. Merchant House, a building dedicated to a famous calligrapher and a little cafe for tourists. The tree house is very pretty and fun to explore especially for kids with plenty of places to get a fun picture of the overgrown foliage. If you’re 6 foot or over just watch your head there are a lot of doorways with low head clearance. If you like nature this is a great spot.

    The Eternal Golden Castle is actually a small fort, around 1.7 kms from Anping Old Fort. It was built by Qing Official in 1876 to safeguard the coastline of Tainan. It took us 30 minutes to walk from Anping Old Fort.

    The huge flat area at the middle of the fort was the resting and training ground for the soldiers. The armory, replica of huge cannons pointing towards the coastline, and the moat can be seen there. Some sources stated that the fort was built with the bricks dismantled from Fort Zeelandia.

    We would recommend to visit the site together with Anping Old Fort.

    This beautiful white building houses a museum of Anping history. You can learn about the development of the city and Taiwan’s foreign trade. The ticke for Tree House entitles the admission for this museum. Even just to take a look of this building, it is quite worthy.

    The oldest street in Taiwan has a vibrant day market selling food and souvenirs. I am not certain if this is a delicacy of the region but every few steps we were offered free samples of shrimp crackers.
    Far more interesting are the decorative walls in the Anping back streets. One is fanciful as if a street for kindergarten children with emphasis on cat decoration. Apologies for not having lane numbers but if you just wander around you will come across some fun/interesting areas.
    Near Taiwan Street is Haishan Hall built shortly after Qing Dynasty took over Taiwan. It was used to house Qing naval officers coming from Haishan District of Fujian Province - thus it's name. It was later purchased as a private residence and in 1975 Tainan city purchased the property giving it a monument status.
    My immediate reaction upon entering the courtyard was that it was a bland structure but there is some wonderful stuff to see, Look up at the tile roof and wander on the porch of the main building. I cannot remember where I picked up a brochure that provides history and details of decoration like the Sword Lions that ward off evil.
