       The Great South Gate was also called the “Ningnan Gate”. It used to cradle a busy marketplace inside the gate. Outside of the gate were graveyards that people seldom frequented. The Gate and the walls divided the worlds of the living and the dead. The Great South Gate is the only remaining urn-shaped castle in Tainan. Part of the wall’s remains can be seen intertwined with the external wall of Tainan Girls’ Senior High School. The Forest of Steles gives people a glimpse of social norms and regulations in the Qing Dynasty. The Broadcasting Bureau provided broadcasting service in the Japanese occupation era. At The Temple of the Five Concubines is buried the five concubines of Emperor Ningjing of the Ming Dynasty who all committed suicide. When tracing this route, a feeling of great change having taken place over time in Tainan will take hold.
