Tainan Judicial Museum
The Tainan Judicial Museum, originally known as the Former Tainan District Court, is a historic building located in the West Central District of Tainan City, Taiwan. The building was completed in 1914 during the Japanese colonial period, designed by Japanese architect Matsunosuke Moriyama. It features an ornate Baroque architectural style with a unique pediment-style asymmetrical porch and an eight-sided oeil-de-boeuf window facade. After Taiwan's retrocession in 1945, the building underwent multiple renovations. It was designated a second-class historic monument in 1991, and restoration work began in 2003, concluding on November 8, 2016, when it reopened to the public as a museum. The museum offers a rich array of exhibits, including the building's history, legal documents, local history, an introduction to the architect, displays of the restoration process, and historical photographs, making it an important venue for understanding Taiwan's judicial history and architectural art.
Chihkan Tower
Chihkan Tower, also known as Fort Provintia, is a military fortress built in Taiwan during the Dutch colonial period in 1653. It is located in today's West Central District of Tainan City and was an important stronghold for the Dutch in Formosa at that time. After Koxinga's invasion of Taiwan, the fortress was taken over by the Zheng family. In the 18th century, the fortress was damaged by war and earthquakes, and later rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century. Chihkan Tower not only possesses significant architectural and artistic value, but its collection of dictionaries and commercial transaction documents also records the use of the local indigenous Siraya language during the Dutch rule. Currently, Chihkan Tower is undergoing renovation and is planned to be transformed into a museum, expected to be completed in 2024, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Dutch-Taiwanese relations.

Anping Tree House
Anping Tree House is located in Anping District, Tainan City, Taiwan, and is an old warehouse covered by the roots and branches of banyan trees. The name "Tree House" comes from its unique architectural style, where the living roots and branches of banyan trees completely cover the entire building. It was originally a warehouse built by Tait & Company in 1867 during the Qing Dynasty, used for storing sugar and camphor. During the Japanese colonial period, the building became the office and warehouse of the Japan Salt Company in 1911, and after being abandoned, it was gradually overgrown by banyan trees. After Taiwan's retrocession in 1945, it served as the office for the Tainan Salt Field. In 2004, the Tainan City Government transformed it into a tourist attraction, adding wooden and metal stairs and viewing platforms, and opened it to the public as part of the Anping Port National Historic Park.
