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.

The museum chronicles the creation of Oyster shell cement which was in widespread use in the Anping area before mass production of conventional cement took over. The kiln in the grounds of the museum is the only one of its kind still in existence in the area although it is no longer operational. The explanation of the process is quite detailed and has quite comprehensive English information boards although the accompanying video is only in Chinese. The museum is quite small and with the video, it takes less than 30 minutes to tour. Free to enter.

Worth visiting, this museum is small, with good English labelling, quite informative and free. Go see this when in Anping.

The last existing oyster ash kiln was interesting to see - located out front. The process of crushing the oysters into a fine powder (ash) is illustrated in detail. I was surprised to see how technical the wording of the process was - I felt like I was back in high-school chemistry class. The museum is small and can be seen in about 15-20 minutes. There is an interesting exhibit showing photos/paintings/models of the transformation of Anping through land reclamation.
