TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Tainan reported on Monday damage to cultural and heritage sites from Typhoon Danas.

Tainan City Government’s Cultural Affairs Bureau said strong winds and torrential rain from Sunday toppled trees and caused partial building damage at several historic sites, while affecting traffic and pedestrian safety, per CNA.

The bureau said Tainan Shan-Shang Garden and Old Waterworks Museum in Shanshang District was among the hardest hit, with roughly 90 trees, including Buddhist pines planted during the Japanese era (1895-1945), completely or partially toppled.

Another 40 cherry and chinaberry trees around the water purification pond were also damaged. Clean-up work and repairs are expected to take two to three working days.

Elsewhere, about 30 trees were downed or leaning at the Longtian Cultural Heritage Education Park in Guantian District. Around Tainan Cultural Center in East District, several roadside trees fell, and two large indoor plants were knocked over.

Anping Fort saw a roadside tree strike a parked vehicle, while another tree near Wufei Temple in West Central District hit two homes but caused no injuries.

Cultural Affairs Bureau Director-General Huang Ya-ling (黃雅玲) said most sites had started cleanup and repairs and could reopen as soon as Thursday. However, she warned that leaning trees still pose a safety hazard and urged visitors to follow staff instructions and avoid closed-off areas.
