安平小鎮 古意遊

Anping the historic town on Tauwan's southwest coast,can claim to be the cradle of Han Chinese society in Taiwan. In the 17th century, when migrants from the Chinese mainland were starting to arrive on taiwan's shores,it was a busy harbor and the most important pioneer settlement on the island
  As anyone who has picked up a Taiwan history book knows,Anping was also a point of contact with the wider world as long ago as 1624,when the (the Dutch East India Company) chose this spot to establish a mercantile colony.
 The town has long since merged with Taiwan, but its old character is still very evident. The most famous attraction is Fort Zeelandia, a bastion built by the Dutch in 1643and named for the ship on which the first governor arrived.
  What visitors see,however, is very different to what existed during the Dutch era. Typhoons, earthquakes and the pilfering of building materials meant that by the beginning of the 20th century, little was left of the Dutch structure. The superb on-site museum is a must-see for those intrigued by the fort's history and technical aspects of its construction, which entailed the shipping of bricks from the Dutch colony at Batavia (now Jakarta in indonesia) and the creation of cement form sugarcane syrup, clay and crushed oyster shells.

安平歷史悠久的小鎮上Tauwan的西南海岸，可以稱得上是搖籃，在台灣漢人社會。在17世紀，當中國大陸的移民已經開始到達台灣的海岸，這是一個繁忙的港口和最重要的先驅在島上定居
  正如任何一個誰撿走了台灣的歷史書都知道，安平也是點接觸更廣闊的世界早在1624年，當（荷蘭東印度公司）選擇了這個地方，建立商業性的殖民地。
 這個鎮有與台灣早已合併，但其舊的字符還是很明顯的。最有名的景點是安平古堡，一個由荷蘭堡壘建在1643and命名為船舶上的第一任總督抵達。
  遊客看到什麼，但是，有很大的不同存在什麼在荷蘭時代。颱風，地震和偷竊建築材料意味著，到進入 20世紀，幾乎沒有留下荷蘭人的結構。精湛的現場博物館是一個必須看到那些好奇的砲台的歷史和技術方面的建設，這帶來的航運磚從荷蘭的殖民地在巴達維亞（今雅加達的印度尼西亞）以及建立水泥形式甘蔗糖漿，粘土和碎牡蠣殼。

The largest surviving section of the original fortress is a massive brick-and-coral wall. It is battered yet looks ready to survive another few centuries. The watchtower is a crude late-20th century addition, but do climb the steps inside for worthwhile views over the nearby historic streets and the coast.

  If you look to your right when leaving Fort Zeelandia, you may notice an elegant 1930s two-story house with octagonal windows and other Art Deco features. The salt merchant who commissioned this abode, Wang Ji-shi(1884-1948), perhaps wnated a house that would distract attention from his given name, which translates as"chicken feces." The fact his parents named him thus suggests he was a sickly baby ; in the Taiwan of yore, grandiose names were believed to arouse the jealous of disease-spreading spirits.

現存最大的要塞條的規定，原來是一個巨大的磚和珊瑚牆。看起來這是受虐尚未準備另外幾百年的生存。在瞭望塔是原油後期 20世紀此外，但攀登步之內為值得欣賞到歷史悠久的街道和附近的海岸。
