Imagine living in one of Taiwan’s most iconic historical landmarks. In part five of our series “Where’s the Tainan Mayor Taking Us?” local historian Lin Hsi-tien shares what it was like to live in what was once Fort Zeelandia. He also takes us for a tour of the neighborhood and shows us traces of the Dutch period in Tainan.

[Taiwan’s Mayors and County Chiefs]
Taiwan is home to 13 county chiefs, six mayors of special municipalities (New Taipei, Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung) and three mayors of provincial cities. These elected officials serve a maximum four-year term and can be re-elected for one additional term. The first episodes of the series aired prior to the local elections in 2022.
