TAINAN PASS

Chihkan Tower (Fort Provintia) 

It was constructed by the Dutch in 1652 and initially named "Fort Provintia", it served as the administrative and commercial center. The building is made up of three interconnected squarish pedestals. In 1886, it was renovated to include corniced red roof tiles. It comprises Wenchang Tower, Sea God Temple, and Penghu Confucian Academy. Since its founding over three hundred years ago to today, the architecture has undergone numerous renovations, but its prominent role in Tainan City remains unchanged.

The current existing Chihkan Tower is composed of the garden on the southern side, the turret on the northern side, and the Penghu Confucian Academy on the western side. The garden is neatly landscaped and contains a sculpture of Koxinga in surrender. Along the wall foundation of the turret, stand nine steles on stone turtles, which were moved here from the Great South Gate. These steles were erected to commemorate the success in putting down the rebellion of Lin Shuang-wen in the 53rd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1788). The steles were carved from granite with two dragons sculpted on the top of the steles, words had been carved on all four sides, with the two adjacent sides forming a paragraph each. All of the steles are mounted on the mythical beast Bi Xi, which resemble stone turtles; Bi Xi is actually one of the nine offspring of the Dragon and is capable of bearing heavy burdens. But since the beast is identical in appearance to turtles, generally people call it the "Turtle Steles".
