You just said that everything is possible in Taiwan, as the country not highly recognized by the international community, these words are really inspiring.
This fortress is not the original Fort Zeelandia. The Japanese rebuilt that when they ruled Taiwan (1895 ~1945). There is a piece of wall of the original fortress just nearby the current fortress. That was really built by the Dutch in 17th century.
@@WillemsenInTaiwan Hi Rik-Jan, if you're interested in learning more about the war between Koxinga and Dutch East Inda Company in 1661, please read "Lost Colony" by Tonio Andrade, published by Princeton University Press. It's a complicated historic event. The poor guy who lost the war was a Swede named Frederick Coyett, the administrator of Formosa from the Company. He survived the war, and his 14th generation decendent Michael Coyet has visited Tainan in 2007, to see the land his ancestor once ruled.
Thank you for your suggestion! I’m very interested in history. I’ll look for the book, hopefully they have it in ebook version. Thanks again and blessings!
