Baihe District

Baihe District () is a district located in Tainan, Taiwan. It is known for its hot springs and lotus farming. The town borders Chiayi County to the north and east, Dongshan District to the south, and Houbi District to the west. Some indigenous Siraya people live here, although their lifestyles and traditions were almost replaced (or perhaps were absorbed) by Han Chinese culture.
History.
In 1875, Scottish missionary William Campbell made a narrow escape from an attack led by Gaw-chi-ko (吳志高), a wealthy local clan head opposed to the establishment of the foreign church. At the time, the place was a market-town called "Tiam-a-khau" (店仔口; ) and was five miles west of their chapel.
After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Baihe was organized as an urban township of Tainan County. On 25 December 2010, Tainan County was merged with Tainan City and Baihe was upgraded to a district of the city.
