It's been a while I didn't take the time to write a bilingual article, but after a great day in Anping, the oldest district of Tainan, I feel energized enough to go for it!
已經有一段時間我沒有用雙語寫文章，但在拜訪安平（台南最古老的地區）美好的一天之後，我覺得有充滿寫作的能量。
The history of Anping's district goes back to the 17th century when the Dutch East India Company established a permanent location on the bay and built Fort Zeelandia that you can see on this cover picture. After that, Koxinga's armies (you can see his statue above) although poorly armed, vanquished the Dutch invader.
安平區的歷史17世紀開始，荷蘭人決定在此常駐和建造安平古堡（請見照片）。之後，陳成功（請見照片中的雕像）打敗荷蘭人。
It's in that district full history that my girlfriend Ruby and I decided to spend our Sunday, starting with a delicious brunch.
我和我的女友Ruby決定在這個充滿歷史的地區享受我們的星期日，就從美味的早午餐開始
We went for western food for a change and that was really tasty. Surprisingly the meat was cooked in a french manner (boeuf bourgignon).
我們吃了很好吃的西式餐點。另我驚訝的是他們用法國的名菜紅酒燉牛肉（boeuf bourgignon）做漢堡。
If not in a mood for a big meal, don't worry! Anping old street is full of stalls selling snacks, drinks, toys and basically everything you could thing about. One of the most famous shops in there see people lining for dozens of minutes to buy dry fruits.
如果不要吃大餐也沒關係，安平老街有很多攤子賣小吃、飲料、玩具等。其中一間有名的店甚至有人排20分鐘買蜜餞.
We went all along the old street and tried to find the emblematic sword lion of Anping in hidden places.
我們從街頭逛到街尾，試著找出最隱密象徵守護安平的劍獅。
It took us around the local temples, and we found one of the lions in an alley so narrow that one can simply not get in there to take the picture, a pity! Anyways, here is one of the major temples of the district, that happened to be playing traditional music as we passed by.
帶領我們來到本地的寺廟。然後我們找到它藏在小巷中距離非常窄小的兩棟建築物中間。
反正這裡是最主要的寺廟區域。當我們經過時寺廟正在播放傳統的音樂。
It was then time for a selfie in the famous Fort Zeelandia that I mentioned in the introduction. Hard to tell that this peaceful place where youngsters and elders are picnicking was a few hundred years ago the theater of a merciless war!
很難想像這個有許多年輕人和長者野餐的地方幾百年之前曾發生過無情的戰火。
Before heading back home, we made a quick jump to the nearby Sunset Beach where we, hmm obviously admired the sunset!
我們在回家之前順路去了觀夕平台等待夕陽西下
The bad camera of my phone doesn't render it at all but it was gorgeous, and for once people around me were busier looking at it than running between the two nearby pokestops!
雖然我手機裡的相片畫質很差，但是實際上景色非常美！這是第一次我周圍的人忙著欣賞美景而不是抓寶可夢。
Hope you liked this introduction to this nice old district of Tainan and that you will come discover it by yourself someday!
希望你們會喜歡這次安平區的介紹或者有一天你們可以自己來探索。
Special thanks to Ruby for helping transforming my lame Chinese into this and teaching me some new vocabulary in the meantime <3
