A morning in Tainan

After rousing the sleepyheads amidst a ton of protestations, our new friend CK came by to take us for a bit of a look around Tainan before lunch.

An Ping Tree House. No, it's not a house on a tree, but a house where the vines of a huge banyan tree have overtaken and penetrated the entire house. Once considered haunted it's been preserved in a semi derelict condition and is a popular tourist attraction. It's certainly one of the more unusual places in Taiwan. 

Right next door is a museum depicting life in Taiwan during the time of the Dutch colonisation. It was originally the headquarters of the Tait & Co Merchant House.

Fishingboats moored in An Ping. We're told the catch from returning boats are offered for sale in one of the adjacent car parks from about 3pm each day.
