Anping Township Cultural & Historical Studio

By Steven Crook


     This friendly store, located on the main road from downtown Tainan to Anping, has a good balance of mass-produced items and local hand-crafted works. There are hand puppets, statuettes and figurines (of buddhas, sages, fighting monks and other classical characters), paintings and drawings, a broad selection of Chinese-language books (including a number of guides to the relics of Anping and Tainan), and--perhaps most interesting of all--a large choice of postcards. If you've toured the backstreets of Anping and taken a fancy to the famous sword-lion emblems, you can find inexpensive miniature examples here to adorn your front door.
