Tainan Canal

South District, Taiwan

The Tainan Canal; pinyin: Táinán yùnhé is a man-made waterway in Tainan, Taiwan, connecting the city's urban area with Port of Anping and the Taiwan Strait. The current canal was constructed during the Japanese colonial period (1895–1945) to replace an earlier canal that had become silted. Once vital for trade and transportation, the canal has since transitioned into a tourism and recreational area, hosting dragon boat races and sightseeing boat tours.
