you spent your morning at chikan tower (赤崁樓). a former dutch fortress called fort provintia. it's just a stone throw away from where you lodged but with such a hot weather it's almost impossible to venture too far.
the site while being a historical site, the trace of dutch presence is almost unnoticed, what is left from the originally fort provintia is just a ruined wall beneath the current building. the history of this site is simple, starting from the dutch presence to konxiga, then the ming and qing dynasty to the japanese occupation. the place has been torn down and rebuilt multiple times by different powers in reign.
it's a warm day so you actually spent most of your time hibernating at a breezy corner, taking in a touch of dutch history in this place...
