Datianhou Temple, commonly known as Tainan Mazu Temple, was built in the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1684 AD). The Tianhou Temple has undergone several renovations and is listed as a historic site in Taiwan. The Queen of Heaven is Mazu, the goddess that boatmen, sailors, travelers, merchants and fishermen of all dynasties believe in together. Taiwan's Mazu culture is particularly strong, which is related to the fishermen's culture along the coast. Before the ship sails, it is necessary to make sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven, to pray for good wind and safety, and to enshrine the Queen of Heaven on the ship. Among the nearly 400 Mazu temples in Taiwan, Datianhou Temple is the only Mazu temple included in the official Spring and Autumn Festival. The statues and sculptures in the temple are all from the hands of famous craftsmen. The precious richness of ancient plaques and ancient couplets is even rarer in temples in Taiwan. Datianhou Palace can be divided into four main parts, Sanchuan Hall, worship hall, main hall and apse, which are called "four entrances". In front of the main hall, there is a Danchi stone wall, carved with flying dragons, treading waves and soaring clouds, quite imposing, rare in other temples, fully showing the style of imperial architecture. When you come to the main entrance, the first thing you see is a pair of stone lions in front of the door, which are finely carved and unique in shape. The entrance gate is tall and majestic. It does not have the painted door gods of traditional temples, but it is equipped with many protruding wooden nails. On both sides are the figures of eight horses and dragons and tigers carved from granite, which are majestic and rough. Looking inward from the gate of the main hall, through the elevated patio and the narrow space of the house, you can see the full-body statue of Mazu shrouded in cigarettes and under the golden curtain. Mazu has kind eyes, kind eyes, and a serene demeanor. It is said that Mazu was originally pink noodles, but after being surrounded by incense for hundreds of years, the Mazu you see now has become a black "cigarette noodles". This statue was made by a Quanzhou master about 300 years ago, and it can be said to be one of the representatives of Taiwanese clay sculptures. The shrines on both sides of the statue of Mazu also enshrine the dragon king of the east, west, south and north and the narcissus king. In addition, another feature of the temple is that in addition to the Mazu in the main hall called aunt, there are also so-called "second mother" and "third mother" Mazu statues, whose shape is only half of the aunt's, with a pink face and two eyes. Open, it is different from the drooping eyelids of the Mazu statue. You may wish to visit it when you have time.

Shennong Street (神農街) was the entrance to the Tainan Five Channels area important river ports from the Qing Dynasty. Merchants at the time would all enter Tainan through this street, making it the busiest district. However, a century of evolution has transformed the original river port into a city road. While the street was formerly in decline due to being old-fashioned and outdated, it has become a hub of culture creation and art distribution in recent years, and it’s now a mecca for young art enthusiasts in Tainan. The shops on both sides of the street are all packed with various handmade product designs. To preserve their original ideas, many of the shopkeepers prohibit photography, so please be mindful of the shop's rules. All of the shops on the street are definitely worth a look, so don't just walk down the street, and be sure to check out every store.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Dutch occupied present-day Anping in 1624 with a combination of military and commercial forces, and built the city of Geranza as its defensive fortress, and the whole project was completed in 1634. In the sixteenth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1662), after Zheng Chenggong took the Dutch City, it was renamed Anping Town, and the inner city was changed to the inner house, so the Taiwanese called it the royal city. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the loss of the importance of the Taijiang Lufu, and the destruction of the city by the Qing soldiers to build a billion-year-old golden city, it gradually became abandoned. It was rebuilt after the Japanese occupation, and after World War II, it was called Anping Castle. At present, the only real Dutch relics remain, and the brick wall in front of the castle is the southern wall of the outer city. The old banyan roots, infinite vicissitudes, witnessed more than 300 years of Taijiang River situation.
