Tainan
City
Tainan City is located
in the southwest of Taiwan on the rich and
fertile Jianan Plain, with a population of about 740,000 people. Rente
and Yongkang townships of Tainan County are to its east. Taiwan Strait
and Penghu across the strait are to its west. Cieding and Hunei
townships of Kaohsiung County are in the south across the Erhcheng
River. Cigu Township of Tainan County across the Jhengwen River is to
its north. The six administrative districts within the city are: East
District with an area of 13.415km2, North District with an area of
10.434km2, Midwest District with an area of 6.259km2, Annan District
with an area of 107.201km2, and Anping District with an area of
11.066km2. The total area of the city is 175.645 km2, which shares
0.49% of the area of all of Taiwan. The Yanshwei River penetrates the
North and Annan districts, running from east to west and entering the
Taiwan Strait in Anping.
After the restoration of Taiwan, the city became a
provincial
city. In the following year, the city was reallocated into the
following seven administrative districts: East, West, South, North,
Central, Anping and Annan. In 2004 the Central and West districts were
combined into the Midwest District.
We have a straight coastline in the west next to
the Taiwan
Strait. Landscapes along this nearly 20km long coastline are manifold.
The northern coastline of the city is located in the Sihcao wetlands in
the northwest of Yanshwei River. As the area is covered with a rare
mangrove forest, it has become the paradise of birds. Statistics
indicated that over one million birds live in Sihcao every year,
including over 20 endangered species of migratory birds from other
parts of Asia and Australia and over half of the 400 species or so of
native wild birds.
The Anping Port in the south of Yanshwei River has
developed
into the Anping International Port and deep-sea fishing port. Yet, the
expansion of Anping Port to the canal in the city has been prevented by
pollution problems. In order to enforce urban reengineering and to
restore the clarity of rivers, sewerage has been built and the canal
realignment has begun.
The Tainan Canal was built 70 years ago. It is not
only an
important water transportation channel but also a beautiful memory of
the past for most locals. Therefore, the realignment of the canal will
cover environmental protection, economics and culture. In addition to
restoring its transportation function, we will plan various cultural
activities along the canal in order to develop the unique cultural
image of the canal, so that it can become a cultural and recreational
spot for locals and recall the beautiful memory to local citizens.
The fabulous Golden Coast is located to the south
of the city.
It has a flat and extensive beach of about 2 to 3km long. The blue sky,
clear water and golden beach have attracted many people playing and
listening to the waves there. As the beach is extensive, we are
planning a compound recreational center that combines swimming, bird
watching, fishing, camping and accommodation functions in the area.
Besides the historical and cultural resources in the urban area, the
outdoor and recreational resources of the Golden Coast can provide
another option to tourists. Therefore, Tainan City will be a complete
tourist city containing both indoor and outdoor resources. |
