Return of the Nature

#Tainan is the oldest city in #Taiwan, already being some kind of town when the #Dutch arrived in 1624 and built their fort #Zeelandia. The Dutch started trade, which later flourished indeed, indicated by several trading companies settling here. Those built warehouses and some of those still exist today.

OK, ruins of those warehouses still exist.

And they have been taken over by nature in the form of Banyan trees.

Some of the old wooden beams still exist, but they can't carry anything anymore, they need to be carried.

These ruins are close to the fort and part of a larger complex, including exhibitions, souvenir shops and cafes. Should you be in town: Admission is NTD50, about USD1.7...
