Taiwan: Anping Fort - Fort Zeelandia

Fort Zeelandia was a fortress built over ten years from 1624 to 1634 by the Dutch East India Company, in the town of Anping on the island of Formosa (present-day Taiwan), during their 38-year rule over the western part of that island. Although the site was previously named Orange City,  Anping City, and Taiwan City, the current name of the site in Chinese is Anping Fort.

This postcard from Taiwan sent me Taiwanese student from Moscow, and stamps are Russian Kremlins from 2009.


Thank you Chun-ya!
