    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 grounds of the fort are nice with a museum, excavation site, sitting area with trees and then the fort/tower itself. The walk to the fort is quite a few stairs with no real options up for those who can’t use stairs (to be expected with a ~400 year old structure). Overall it is well kept with a tower at the top that has a great view of Anping (just be prepared for more stairs!). If you’re interested in history I would certainly recommend a visit.

    This is a beautiful temple with intricate designs. However you will probably finish seeing this in 10 minutes. This is best combined with the Anping Fort.

    Personally I found this very interesting even though I'm not particularly a fan of maritime history. The ship has been restored very well and there is a lot of information throughout on it's history, both in Chinese and English. From memory, entry is only about $NT50 which is very reasonable.

    The waterfront is very pleasant as there are proper walkways for pedestrians. The harbour area is very peaceful.

    Great place for a stroll and relax

    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.

    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.

    When you're in the area to check out Anping Fort then must check out this little street as well. Has good variety of foods and unique items.
