There are basically two of three original buildings here. One was destroyed, one is undergoing repairs and covered in scaffolding, leaving just the one main building to visit. There are plenty of stairs up to and inside the building. There are good info boards and photos, but not a huge amounf to see. The views from upstairs aren't great as the place is surrounded by modern developments. More of a historic interest than anything else.

The main attraction of this site is its historical significance as a former Dutch outpost. In truth very little exists of its Dutch origins apart from one long section of castle wall. Much of what is there today was built by the Japanese at the end of the 19th century onwards apart from the building that is now occupied by the Fort Zeelander Museum built by foreign traders in 1882. The museum is not easy to follow with very little natural flow to the exhibits. The observation deck located in the middle of the site is out of keeping with the rest of the architecture. Although it provides views of the surrounding area, these are not especially notable. We had quite high hopes for this attraction but left a little disappointed.

The castle is located in the immediate vicinity of the Anping Tree House, which is well worth a visit. It is not worth driving to the castle just for a visit, as the castle is not interesting enough. However, if you are going to the Anping tree house anyway, a quick look at the castle is ok.

Great site for some Taiwanese history. See an original Dutch fort, kept in great condition. Walk around and enjoy the sights. Go up in the tower and hopefully see more of the surrounding area. Lots of street food and games for the kids in front of the entrance makes it a lively place.

There is not much left of the original fort – foundations and part of the wall. There is a small museum, so it is worth to go with a guide who wll tell the story of the place. Old fort was part of our tour and we had good guide, so it was fine, but I am not sure it is the place I would recommend.

The old fort was first established by the Dutch East India Company before it fell into ruin and then repurposed by the Japanese colonial period. It's fascinating that the Dutch party of the first still remains. The area where you'll probably spend the most time is the Zeelandia Museum. The video documentary on archeology and history is very informative. The major sections of the Zeelandia museum have English, but not the individual exhibits. The second best area is probably the upper section where the surveillance tower is located. It's worthwhile climbing the 4 storeys to get fantastic panoramic views of Anping.

Summer is scorching hot in Anping Old Street. Anping Old Fort (or former Fort Zeelandia) is a tall landmark that is hard to miss. The entrance is annoying to find as it is not at the Main Street. You need to walk around the main street to another end where there is a ticketing booth. Ticket price is cheap at about NT $70 for adult fare. Opening hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm. The fort is well maintained. The greenery is well pleasant to see and some of the exhibits are interesting like the opium pipe. It is nice but not a must visit place. What I really like about the fort is the air conditioned exhibition area inside the fort. It is a good escape from Anping street that is hot and not sheltered. Overall this fort is not a must visit place. Probably it is a nice aircon place to escape the heat after a nice local food meal.
