The Haishan Hall (traditional Chinese: 海山館; simplified Chinese: 海山馆; pinyin: Hǎishān Guǎn) is a former military assembly hall in Anping District, Tainan, Taiwan.
Name[edit]
The hall was named Haishan taken from a mountain located in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou, Fujian.[1]
History[edit]
The hall was built in 1684 shortly after Qing Dynasty took over Taiwan. It used to be the gathering venue for soldiers coming from Haishan District of Fujian Province.[2] Those soldiers were stationed in Taiwan to defend the island on a three year rotational shift. In 1975, the building was acquired by Tainan City Government from the descendant of 張金聲 who owned the house and converted into a museum in 1985.[3]
Exhibitions[edit]
The hall exhibits the implements and charms designed to ward off evil. Various folk and cultural artifacts were also displayed.[3]
