Three hundred years ago, this was the sea.<\/span>Today it is fish farms, temple forecourts and a national park.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
LOCATION<\/span>Annan District, Tainan<\/td>\nCHANGED<\/span>The third year of the Daoguang reign<\/td>\nFROM 3DOOR<\/span>25 minutes by car<\/td>\nBEST TIME<\/span>Afternoon to sunset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Drive northwest out of central Tainan, cross the Yanshui River, and the road suddenly straightens and widens as the sky opens up.<\/p>\n

On both sides are fish ponds laid out in neat squares, their surfaces catching the afternoon light. Egrets stand on the banks here and there; beyond them a windbreak forest, and beyond that the sea. This is Annan, Tainan’s largest district by area and also its youngest – so young that the land itself appeared two hundred years later than the old streets and old temples of the city.<\/p>\n

Because the whole plain you are looking at was not on the map three hundred years ago.<\/p>\n

\n

The ground beneath your feet was once open water.<\/span>And that water had a name: Taijiang.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
