In the 1880s, the British Presbyterian Church established communities in and around the eastern part of Tainan City, and later developed important venues such as the Treasure Hall Newspaper Office, the Sin-Lau Hospital, Tainan Theological College and Seminary (inside the city), the Presbyterian (Chang Jung) High School, and the Girls’ School (outside the city). The scene pictured here is around Rev. William Campbell’s residence inside the campus of Tainan College and Seminary, with a very beautiful view of the courtyard.
