Fucheng Pass and Present

Uncompromised with the present status and attracted to the beauty of Formosa, earlier settlers traveled across the sea in search of the dreamed land some four hundred years ago. After fighting against the angry sea and overcoming countless odds, they finally stepped on the soil of Formosa in Tainan. These people who realized the dream of Formosa called the place Fucheng.
There are many well-preserved monuments in the city containing full records of early settlers and rulers of the city. When trees towered over these monuments and tourist attractions over time, these places became the recreational areas of the locals.
