Sean and I had been living with our friends, Tristan and Al, in Kaohsiung for a little under a week. After having visited many other parts of Kaohsiung, I'd confidently state that Yancheng is one of the oldest towns in this part of Taiwan, in more than one sense.
The buildings are pretty old; the younger temples are from the late 18th century. The vast majority of the people we've seen walking around do so on feeble legs, walkers & various forms of mobility assistance. The average age is well over 30, I'm sure.
While this description of the town might make it sound boring, it is far from it. But more on that lat.
