Anping Fort
Rating: 3.5/5
There wasn't a guide for us so our 程导 explained instead. Overall, the place is very fun and interesting because there was a lot of ancient artifacts. There were some artillery cannons left from the Qing dynasty as well as from more modern times. There was also a tower which tourists can climb. The view of the facility from there is quite good. Other places of interest around the area can be seen from there too. There was a lot of history behind it so we recommend this place.
Anping Old Street
Rating: 4/5
The old street was rather narrow and there were shops on both sides of the streets. It had a vintage feeling and was a little crowded. The stalls there sells food, toys and souvenirs. This place gives a peek at a typical taiwanese's life as a street seller. This place is recommended for it's strong Taiwanese culture.
Eternal Golden Castle
Rating: 3/5
Interestingly enough, this "castle" is actually a fort. Due to the trees planted, there was adequate shade for everyone to keep cool. The arch built at the entrance tells how even traditional methods of building can produce such grand and still standing architecture. The place was also well maintained even though it was decades old.
Tainan Confucius Temple
Rating: 4/5
This temple was used as a school. At the entrance, there was an area where one could pen down their wishes and put it up in the hope of it coming true. This was an interesting notion that one doesn't usually come across. This place also gave us an insight into the traditional way of study that took place in the past.

Chihkan Tower
Rating: 4/5
There was no guide for this place, but it was pretty self-explanatory. One of the more significant artifact was a board full of papers of different shapes and sizes - they were certificates/identifications of students who have taken exams and pinned it up. This shows the culture of Taiwanese when they take their examinations. Thus we recommend the visiting the Chihkan tower.
