2025 Chihkan Tower Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#September2024 Tainan Chihkan Tower is not only an ancient building, but also a symbol of a rich history. Built in the 17th century, Chihkan Tower was originally an important military stronghold during the Dutch colonial period and later became one of Zheng Chenggong's strongholds. Zheng Chenggong occupies an important position in Taiwan's history. He successfully expelled the Dutch colonists and established the Ming Zheng regime, which had a profound impact on Taiwan's development. When you enter Chihkan Tower, you will be attracted by its quaint architectural style. The appearance of the tower combines traditional Chinese and Western architectural elements, showing the cultural fusion of the time. There are several exhibitions in the building that introduce Zheng Chenggong's life and achievements, including how he successfully ruled Taiwan and promoted cultural and economic development. The second floor of Chihkan Tower overlooks the surrounding beautiful scenery and is the best place to take photos. This place is not only a witness to history, but also an excellent place for tourists to gain in-depth understanding of Taiwanese culture and the great deeds of Zheng Chenggong. Whether you are a history lover or want to appreciate the beauty of ancient architecture, Chihkan Tower will make you linger and bring you an unforgettable cultural journey! #100TravelWays #CheckIn #Tainan #TainanAttractions #ChihkanTower

Chikan Tower, an ancient fortress originally built by the Dutch in 1653 during their occupation of Taiwan, has a rich history. It was destroyed by rebellions and earthquakes in the 18th century but was rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty and has undergone continuous minor restorations since then. During my visit, restoration work was still ongoing. The entrance fee is 70 NT. Inside the fortress, there are historical exhibits and old maps, and the structure resembles a shrine. Outside, there is a garden with a fish pond, making it a pleasant place to stroll around. Since it is located in the city and easily accessible, I highly recommend visiting Chikan Tower if you're in Tainan.

It would be better to make a reservation in advance and get a discount #Because Tainan itself is like Gyeongju in Taiwan there were a lot of students. Although it is a tourist attraction, there are many locals, not foreigners Seeing the tourist attraction, it reminded me a lot of Gyeongju in our country and it was nice to see how they cherish their own countries' cultural assets It's not a very big place, so it's enough to see around in less than an hour and it was too bad to just leave, so I went into the souvenir shop Since this is a cultural park related to #JeongSungGong, They sold #SungGong beer named after JeongSungGong I also heard that #TainanSungGongUniversity got its name because of JeongSungGong

📍Address: No. 197, Section 2, Zhongyi Road, West Central District, Tainan City 🕰️Business Hours: 10:30 AM - 8:00 PM (Closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays) 👍🏻Features: Affordable and delicious, fresh broth 💰Price: Hot Pot Noodles NTD 100*2, Fresh Squid NTD 120 The shop is located on Section 2 of Zhongyi Road, just a 5-minute walk from Chihkan Tower. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal after sightseeing. The actual entrance is in a nearby alley. The prices are reasonable, and the signature dish is the hot pot noodles. The broth is made from bonito stock, and the ingredients include fried shrimp, fried fish, chikuwa, a soft-boiled egg, and a few vegetables. The noodles have the perfect crunch, making it hard to stop eating until the bowl is empty. We also ordered the fresh squid that day. It's not like the live octopus in Korea, but rather blanched squid. It has a crisp texture and fresh taste. 👍🏻 Founded in 1963, Mama Li's has been around for 60 years. Although prices have increased a bit, the delicious taste passed down through generations remains unchanged.

I have been to Tainan so many times, but this was my first time to visit Chihkan Tower. The night view inside is very beautiful and the ticket price is very cheap. It is highly recommended!
