TAINAN, TAKOW AND ANPING

The city of Tainan (until 1889 known as Taiwan), situated in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. N., and long. 129 deg. 5 min. E., is the oldest city in Formosa; for nearly two centuries it was the capital under the Chinese régime. Prior to that it had been held by both the Dutch and Koxinga, and relics of the former's occupation still exist. Next to Taipeh, it is the principal city, and in it the District Garrison Headquarters, Law Courts, Hospital, Higher Schools, &c., are located. Since the Japanese occupation many improvements in the city have been made, and at the present day the main roads are all wide and well constructed. An extensive scheme of alterations is in hand, the programme extending over ten years. When this is completed the city will be second to none in the Island in arrangement. The old Chinese walls, some five miles in circumference, have been demolished in many places and the gates removed for the passage of the railway and new roads. Waterworks are in course of con- struction in the hills some distance from the city. The city is lighted by electricity,
