Anping Old Street
安平老街（延平街）
Known as Taiwan's first street, Yanping Street is lined with shrimp cakes, candied fruit, tofu pudding and sword-lion souvenirs, right next to Anping Fort.
Anping Old Street centers on Yanping Street. Dutch settlers had already formed a market here when they built Fort Zeelandia, which is why it is called Taiwan's first street. Today both sides are lined with snack and souvenir shops. Specialties include shrimp cakes, candied fruit, tofu pudding, shrimp rolls, fish ball soup and sword-lion souvenirs. The nearby lanes also have many old houses and sword-lion wall decorations. It's about a 3-minute walk to Anping Fort, and you can also walk to Anping Tree House and the Kaitai Tianhou Temple. From Tainan Station, the bus takes about 25 minutes, and it is very crowded on weekends.
