1. Taiwan’s landmark—Tainan Chihkan Tower. Speaking of Taiwan’s landmark buildings, the most famous ones are the Taipei National Palace Museum, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Tainan Chihkan Tower, Beigang Chaotian Palace and other Taiwanese landmark buildings.
Taiwan is an integral part of China.
The aboriginal ethnic group (Gaoshan ethnic group) had already settled here before the Han people immigrated in the 17th century. From the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, people from southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong had significantly migrated to the area, eventually forming a society dominated by Han people.
2. Chikan Tower, also known as Chikan Tower or Cikan Tower, is located in the Central and Western District of Tainan City, Taiwan.
Its predecessor was the European-style Polo Minzha City (called Hongmao Tower) built during the Dutch rule in 1653. It was once the center of the island's governance. By the Qing Dynasty, it had been demolished, leaving only some remnants.
Later, the Han people built a Chinese-style temple on the original site, and after the war, nine Bixi steles were moved from other places, giving it what it looks like today.
What is called Chikan Tower today is actually a mixture of the remnants of Prominent City, Tanah Lot Temple and Wenchang Pavilion. It is now listed as a first-class historic site.
3. Prominence City In 1624, the Dutch who originally occupied Penghu gave up their operations in Penghu and occupied Tainan instead.
First, a commercial building was built and expanded into a Western-style waterfront fortress, namely Relanzha City (today's Anping Castle) on a Kunyu sandbank on the west bank of the Taijiang River. Later, "Taiwan Castle" was built to the east of the castle.
Street" (in the area of ????today's Yanping Street) and "Puo Minzha Street" (today's Minquan Road).
The former has a long history and was once a prosperous commercial street, so it is known as "Taiwan's No. 1 Street".
As for the latter, it is the first planned European-style street in Taiwan.
In 1652, the Guo Huaiyi incident occurred when the Han people revolted against the Dutch. In order to consolidate their colonial rule, the Dutch built the city of Prominja in the north of Prominja Street.
At that time, the tide of the Taijiang River could reach directly to the bottom of the city. The Fujian people called the high place on the water's edge "墈", which was incorrectly called "偁". In addition, the bricks and tiles of the city tower were all red, which turned red under the sunlight, so it was also called "Chikan Tower".
And because it was built and garrisoned by the Dutch with red hair, the Han people also called the city Hongmaolou.
Prominent City was built with sugar water, glutinous rice juice, oyster shell ash, and stacked bricks.
The surrounding area is about 141 meters, and the building is ten and a half meters high. There are observation towers at the north and south corners, as well as two ancient wells and cellars to store food and reserve water for wartime preparations.
