Overview

  • Step into the shifting sands of Anping, where empires rise, fall, and are swallowed by banyan roots. On this immersive redthread tour, you will trace 350 years of history—from the ruthless global trade network of the Dutch East India Company to the dramatic siege by a Ming loyalist, and the 19th-century treaty ports that brought Victorian merchants to Taiwan's shores. Discover how military shields became area talismans, how colonial streets transformed into bustling local markets, and how nature ultimately reclaims human ambition. Join Max and Nora to uncover the hidden layers of Taiwan's oldest district.
