Tainan during 1971 - part 2

points
The second part of the Super 8 movie my father-in-law shot in Taiwan in 1971. It starts out in Kaohsiung, the major southern port of the island. That's Joyce in the yellow top. Afterwards we visit the twin pagodas at Tsoying Lake. Then we are back in Tainan City, visiting the Confucious Temple, the oldest in Taiwan. We also visit the Red-Haired Tower, the old Dutch Fort Provintia (I can't think of the Chinese name). Then I climbed to the top of what was the tallest building in the city, an eight-story pool hall, overlooking the harbor. Even though I panned the camera way too fast, you can get an idea of what downtown Tainan looked like back then. Back on the ground, you can see part of the shrimp fleet, shared with the port of An Ping.
