Put simply, there's nothing golden and it's an old military installation, not a castle. Still, it's a well preserved landmark that provides a glimpse into the past and is pleasant to stroll around--especially if you enjoy military history. There are several preserved cannons and it was interesting to see the design of the coastal defense batteries. Overall, nothing extraordinary and not a lot of compelling historical context to go along with it so don't go out of your way to see it and don't lose sleep if you miss it. Anping Fort was much better for historical interest and context.

It is quite interesting if you are into military defense strategy. They managed to conserved some cannons from that time. It is small like everything in Anping, but meaningful.

Just a square field with some cannons on top of the little platforms. The place is quiet. At the entrance is a small moat with some boat installations if you like to paddle around. Not much to see. Opposite is a fish theme restaurant 府城馆 you should try

A fairly nondescript fort and perhaps the least interesting of the seven first-class historic sites in Tainan.

Designed by Frenchman, the first modern-era fort in Taiwan only saw two minor incidences in its time and has a fairly limited history. The bricks used to build it were taking from Fort Zeelandia (which is why that fort is a "reconstruction"...as is mentioned in other reviews).

The British Armstrong cannons made this, in 1876, the first fortress on the island to have modern artillery but the majority of the better cannons were sold off by the Japanese during the Japanese-Russian war of the early 20th century. So without the cannons the fort had no defensive use and was left to nature.

I would suggest a visit here only if you have the time and is perhaps best visited around sundown for a stroll in a quiet, natural setting.

It's on the tour bus route... It was alright.
50 NT to get in and look around. It's pretty inside but there really isn't much to look at. We saw a group of men dressed in period clothing doing a cannon firing. Wasn't bad
