Yancheng Tianhou Temple(鹽埕天后宮)was built in 1758 and enshrines Tian Shang Sheng Mu (Mazu,) with Wu Hui Zun Wang (武惠尊王) also enshrined in a secondary role. In the past, there was a harbor with many sailing ships behind the temple, nicknamed “sail harbor”; local residents transported salt from the salt fields to Anping from here, therefore the temple was nicknamed “Sail Harbor Tianhou Temple(帆港天后宮).” A stone stele outside the temple is also worshipped. Under Mazu’s instructions, the stele reached the spiritual state of an immortal, so the temple also has a special Lord Stone.

Black Bridge Sausage (黑橋牌香腸) got its name from its origins at Black Bridge next to Fuqian Road. The outside of the tourism factory looks like a boutique store, and the large bowl in the doorway mimics the dice game at the former Miaokou sausage stand, allowing tourists to have fun as soon as they walk in the door. Those visiting the sausage museum should start from the 3rd floor and slowly make their way downward. The museum features a lot of nostalgic scenes, like the glove puppet shack that was a common sight at Miaokou, and street scenes from Tainan many decades ago.

The innovative building was completed and opened in 2010. At the entrance, a warm-color wooden sign and patterned lanterns can be seen, emitting a distinctive Hakka atmosphere; the Hakka connection is further emphasized by the oil-paper umbrellas and red lanterns inside the Hall. Various Hakka culture related daily-use items and farming implements are on display, and there are detailed introductions to Hakka history and culture, crafts, food and architecture.

Kunxiwan Cultural Park (鯤喜灣文化園區) is span a large area, and at the northernmost part is the Anping Commercial Port (安平商港) and Kunshen Wharf (鯤鯓碼頭); spreading to Erren Brook (二仁溪) and the Southern Area Qingshui Park (南區親水公園) at its southern extremity. Also including the Golden Coast (黃金海岸) as well as the Xishu Art Settlement (喜樹藝術聚落) and Wanli Commercial District (灣裡商圈), the area features long sandy beaches which follow the coastline and a large number of scenic spots.

The Golden Coast (黃金海岸) is Tainan’s southernmost section of coastline. Approximately 5 km of sandy beach runs from Anping’s Yuguang Island (漁光島) to the Golden Coast, and there are always lots of tourists walking, splashing in the waves and flying kites here in the afternoon. The Golden Coast gets its name from the glistening sight of the golden sunset shining on the beach. Sunset is the busiest time, but even after nightfall lots of people still remain, attracted by the beach’s outdoor coffee shops.

Since the disappearance of Blue Print (藍晒圖) on Hai'an Road (海安路), the Blueprint Culture & Creative Park (藍晒圖文創園區) has come to replace it. Located in the Old Judicial Dormitory(舊司法宿舍) area, it is a 3D blueprint nighttime art installation with bright lights throwing dazzling white lines on a blue wall, and an old tree lit by a yellow light. Located opposite the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越), the Blueprint Cultural & Creative Park has been a popular spot packed with young people since it opened.

The Shueijiaoshe Cultural Park was opened at the end of 2019, with the aim of preserving the culture of military dependents’ villages. The buildings are elevated with concrete countertops, and the walls are inlaid with wooden lattice windows and doors. Drainage pipes run on the brick eaves and then fall down steeply to ditches, which surround the buildings, with long reed gardens swaying in tandem with the breeze. Another highlight of the park is the verdant green pond set off against beautiful lotus flowers, and the old trees intertwined with walls.
