Eternal Golden Castle offered a fascinating perspective on Tainan's history through the lens of military defense. Built in the 19th century to prepare for threats from foreign powers, this modern fortress tells the story of an era when Taiwan was working to strengthen its defenses against naval invasions. The moat-enclosed layout and the remnants of the artillery batteries convey the tension of those times. Its appeal lies in experiencing a historical aspect different from temples and old streets, making it a well-worth-visiting destination for a broader understanding of Tainan's history.
Another excellent historic site with lots of history. Stroll around the fort with old canons on display. Very green environment. Enjoyed it!
I originally thought this bare city with only a city gate left wouldn't be as interesting as Anping Fort or Chihkan Tower, but I was unexpectedly and luckily able to join a free volunteer tour guide. After walking around the whole area with the guide's detailed explanations, I realized that this city truly deserves to be a first-class national historical site! As Taiwanese people, we should really come and take a walk to understand and experience it in depth.
Tainan's famous historical attractions, original price is $70/person, Klook platform is a little cheaper, tickets are free for Tainan citizens, parking is $30/time, remembering the ancient battlefield training and turrets, the trip takes half an hour to an hour, it can also be combined with the Tainan 4 attractions customs clearance ticket for more cost-effectiveness .
There are many large and small cannons inside, as well as plenty of outdoor tables and chairs for resting. You can also enjoy the flowering trees. Tainan citizens get in for free, and there's good parking!
There was nothing much to see, and it is just like a park surrounded by old castle wall. But it is still a good place if you want to learn more about history. It was really easy to use this digital ticket. I just bought the ticket right before entering, and just let the staff scanned the QR code to enter. This ticket is cheaper than buying the normal ticket on spot. However, if you plan to visit all four places Chikan Tower, Anping Tree House, Anping Old Fort, Eternal Golden Castle, they actually have some set ticket for NT210, which is actually cheaper.
Electronic tickets allow for quick entry and can be used immediately upon purchase. The park is not large, with many cannons and seats for a short break.
E-ticket redemption is very convenient. The place is not too big, but the tour guide is very professional and learned relevant historical stories.

Guide

  • Eternal Golden Castle, this modern-style fort was built by Qing Dynasty official Shen Baozhen and specially designed by French engineers to defend against Japanese attacks.
  • The Japanese built a concrete bridge to replace the old one, which is still in use today. Travelers can enter Eternal Golden Castle from here, or rent a small boat to tour the moat.
  • Eternal Golden Castle is now densely forested, making it suitable for visiting with children. Come here and let the whole family enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
