Tainan Travel

Upon entering Nanmen Park, as well as the well-preserved Great South Gate (大南門城) and cluster of steles on which various Tainan historical events are recorded, another must-see attraction is the Nanmen Film Archive which used to be the Tainan Broadcasting Bureau(原台南放送局). Completed in 1932, the building has a modern Western architectural style, its elegant appearance standing out amidst the old-time feel of the park. Once undertaking the important task of broadcasting, today the building houses the film and TV-themed Tainan City Nanmen Film Archive(台南市南門電影書院); it holds film and TV promotional activities, assists with movie making, provides information and shows films. The Archive is a good place to become acquainted with the film and TV styles of the past.
