At the beginning of the 17th century, the Dutch occupied present-day Anping in 1624 with a combination of military and commercial forces, and built the city of Geranza as its defensive fortress, and the whole project was completed in 1634. In the sixteenth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1662), after Zheng Chenggong took the Dutch City, it was renamed Anping Town, and the inner city was changed to the inner house, so the Taiwanese called it the royal city. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the loss of the importance of the Taijiang Lufu, and the destruction of the city by the Qing soldiers to build a billion-year-old golden city, it gradually became abandoned. It was rebuilt after the Japanese occupation, and after World War II, it was called Anping Castle. At present, the only real Dutch relics remain, and the brick wall in front of the castle is the southern wall of the outer city. The old banyan roots, infinite vicissitudes, witnessed more than 300 years of Taijiang River situation.
