The area
Neighborhood: Anping District/ Annan District
Anping District is the area first developed in Taiwan. It is also the key to Taiwan’s involvement in the international community. The two famous historic monuments, Anping Fort (a.k.a. Fort Zeelandia) and Eternal Golden Castle leave behind them the traces of international trade made by various countries. Another historic monument that stands the test of time is Tree House, in which beautiful stories were created along with the running water in the canal in the course of history.
The National Museum of Taiwan History in the form of green building stands in Annan District. Next to the coastal Cihcao Dajhong Temple is the amazingly gorgeous green tunnel formed by mangroves. Moving slowly in the river course on a pipe raft, you will be greeted by hermit crabs and mudskippers. The sunlight glitters in the woods. This will be like a tranquil journey in the no-man Amazon. What comes next is Luermen River estuary. People can enjoy the beautiful sunset in the Natural Defence of the Capital and also visit the one and only temple which has two barefooted door gods of foreign descent, guarding General Jheng Chengkong, making the trip to Tainan full of stories and mysteries.

It is a small castle safeguarded the frontal area of Tainan against the invasions. You can take many beautiful photos and have a nice walk. It is located in the Anping area where many historic attractions are worth to be visited.

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 fortification was built in 1874 to defend against Japanese invasions. Today, it offers an interesting stroll around the batteries and courtyard parade grounds, with lovely views from the walls to the river and adjacent park, which is typically full of locals going for a jog or taking an evening walk in the shade of the trees.

Won't recommend this, until you've already seen other places in Tainan. Just a small area surrounded with walls and several cannons inside.

Actually not much things to see right there. But it’s good to bring kids to walk around to spend a day.

Another great historical landmark. Worth a visit. Nice to sit and relax when the weather's good. There are boats that you could ride as well.

For those coming out to the former treaty port of Anping for a day of historical sightseeing, make sure you don't miss this well-preserved fort. It is a couple of kilometres away from the other main sights, which makes for a long return walk for those without their own transportation, but this is partly what makes this fortress so appealing. You will have a more tranquil and solitary experience at this site.
The historical remains consist of earthworks, portions of original stonework and surrounding moats. There is also an impressive array of cannons and anti-artillery guns to peruse. But perhaps best of all are the views of the mangroves where graceful white water-birds can be seen fishing in the shallows.

There is no castle, golden or eternal! If they didn’t charge 50$ for entrance would be kinda ok for sitting on the bench...
You can do nothing somewhere closer to town instead!

It is really just brick wals with a surrounding moat. Even the cannons are replicas as the originals were sold or disappeared. Not worth the trip unless you are close by.
