A figure of a Dutch man holding up one of the pillars. There are 2 of these figures built into the temple and they're placed here as punishment for the cruelty they exacted on the local Taiwanese!

We met at Chicken Tower, the site of Fort Provintia, originally the Dutch fort built in 1653 and the administrative seat of the region, and which has undergone many changes over the centuries, with several temples built on top of the ruins of the fort. A landmark in the old part of town, we didn't enter the building as it's undergoing restoration, but discussed the history of Tainan and the arrival of the Dutch.

Shennong Street, one of the best preserved traditional streets in Tainan. It was nice enough during the day, but more magical (and crowded!) at night. But the whole area is hopping at night!
