  • Maps of Tainan – 臺南市文化中地图的角色
  • Maps of Tainan are rich in history, detail, and variety. I’ll walk you through some of the types of maps available, what they show, and where to find them — happy to zoom in on specific map types if you like (e.g. historical, walking, transit).
  • Key Types of Maps of Tainan
    Modern Administrative / City Maps
    Show current boundaries (districts), major roads, transport links, landmarks.
    Example: Tainan has around 37 districts. Wikipedia
    Useful for planning travel, navigating neighborhoods, or understanding how the city is laid out today.
    Historical Maps
    There are maps dating back to Qing Dynasty, Japanese colonial period, etc. That include old road layouts, canals, fortifications, and district boundaries of the past. Geographicus+3digitalarchives.tw+3Wikimedia Commons+3
    Example: Map from 1895 of Tainan (Formosa) on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons
    The “Tainan Historical Maps” app (by Academia Sinica) lets you compare old maps (1875-1978) against current maps. APKCombo.com+1
    In 2018, Tainan published a 400-year-old atlas (165 maps) showing many historical views including administrative, harbor, road, and topographic maps. eyeontaiwan.com
    Tourism / Cultural Maps
    These are made for visitors, showing cultural sites, old streets, temples, night markets, etc. More stylized, often easier to read for tourists.
    Example: interactive tourism maps, story maps that highlight landmarks + food + heritage. yuhsienwu.com
    Custom/Illustrated / Art Maps
    Maps for decoration or specialized use — e.g. simplified road layouts, stylized colors, artistic emphasis (for print, poster, etc.).
    Example: minimalist art map of Tainan with a colorful icon.
    Custom editable vector maps (for print or professional use) also exist. Map Illustrators

    Interesting Details & Historical Insights
    Old maps often show canal networks, city walls, and harbors. Over time many were removed or transformed as the city expanded or under colonial influence. digitalarchives.tw+2Geographicus+2
    During Japanese rule, there was urban planning that modified street layouts, removed city walls to make room for new roads, changed names of districts/roads. digitalarchives.tw
    The 400-year-old atlas isn’t just decorative — city government sees it as useful for things like flood control planning, cultural heritage documentation, and tracking how the city’s geography and infrastructure have changed. eyeontaiwan.com

PLACE NAMES – 地 名

Tainan City. (beesmart.city)

  • Tainan Place Names – 臺南市地名
  • _____ – Tainan Place Names – 臺南市地名
  • Cingkunshen / 青鯤鯓
  • Qingkunshen (also seen as Cingkunshen / 青鯤鯓) is a coastal village area in Tainan (將軍區 / Jiangjun District). The name is often shortened to “Kunshen” (鯤鯓), is a settlement in Jiangjun District (將軍區), Tainan City, Taiwan. Wikipedia+1
  • Administratively, it includes at least two villages (里) / neighborhood divisions: Kunshen Village (鯤鯓里) and Kunming Village (鯤溟里). Wikipedia+1
    Geographically it’s along Taiwan’s southwest coast, in a coastal, wetland salt‐marsh type environment. Wetland Taiwan+2Mapcarta+2
  • The name “青鯤鯓” comes from “青” (green/blue) + “鯤” (a mythical fish/whale‐like fish in Chinese myth) + “鯓” (a variant of “圳/圳/圳,” often meaning a water channel / bank / embankment), describing a peninsula/sandbar/reef area which, under sun, looks like a blue/green fish. Wikipedia+21817BOX部落格+2
  • The salt industry has been important. Salt fields were developed here in the 1970s specifically to meet rising demand for salt in Taiwan. Wetland Taiwan+2Tainan Travel+2
  • Fan‐shaped Salt Fields (扇形鹽田, “Fan Salt Fields”) are One of the most visually striking features of Qingkunshen. These salt fields were constructed (in 1977) by Taiwan’s salt industry to create new land on sandbars and inner sea channels. Lna News+3Tainan Travel+3Wetland Taiwan+3
  • After salt production scaled down / ended (around 2002 in several areas), many of the salt fields were abandoned (or ceased salt crystallizing), leaving wetlands, channels, and brackish water areas that are now ecologically rich. Wetland Taiwan+1\
  • “Life Tree” Art Installation (生命之樹): A recent public art/landscape project in the fan‐shaped salt field area. A white arch / walkway / axis that complements the salt field’s fan pattern. It has become popular as a photo spot (“網美景點”) and helps draw attention to the salt fields and local scenery. WalkerLand 窩客島+2Lna News+2
  • Ecology :
  • The former salt fields + the natural shape of the coastline and tidal influence have given rise to wetlands that now support diverse flora and fauna—shorebirds, migratory birds, marine/wetland invertebrates etc. Wetland Taiwan+1
  • “青鯤鯓鹽田濕地 (Qingkunshen Saltfield Wetland)” is recognized for its importance for bird migration / wintering species. Wetland Taiwan
  • Vegetation includes mangrove‐type or salt marsh tolerant plants, red mangrove aka 海茄苳 etc., some wetland habitat loss is an issue but conservation efforts are ongoing. Wetland Taiwan
  • Local Life & Food :
  • Fisheries, oyster farming, “蚵嗲” (deep‐fried oyster pancake / fritter) and other seafood features heavily in local food culture. There are several local eateries which are popular with visitors for authentic local flavors. Taiwan Tourism Media+2UDN Women+2
    For example: “青鯤鯓古早味蚵嗲” (a place known for its oyster fritters) is locally important and often recommended. Taiwan Tourism Media+1
  • Tours, Access & Infrastructure:
  • Roads: There are county / local roads: District Road 南26線 (South Line 26) starts in Qingkunshen, linking to other parts of Tainan and neighboring districts. Wikipedia+1
    Harbors & Ports: Qingshan Fishing Harbor serves the coast. This provides fishing / marine transport / seafood trade / local life. Southwest Coast National Scenic Area+1
    Visitor infrastructure has been improving: parking around salt fields / art installation; paths or boardwalks for viewing; food stops; local temples (e.g. Chao Tien Temple / 朝天宮) in the area. 1817BOX部落格+1
  • Cinqunshen is interesting because it combines nature + history + art: The salt-making past, its decline, and current wetlands make it a good case study / spot for ecology + heritage tourism. The fan-shaped salt fields, especially around sunrise or sunset, the “Life Tree” art installation, and the coastal vistas are photogenic. Fresh seafood, traditional salt field influence, local community with maritime livelihood.
