Introduction：The Golden Castle, originally named Erkunshen Fort, is a famous tourist attraction near Anping, Tainan. It was a Western-style fort built by Frenchmen and hired by Qing Dynasty's official Shen Baozhen for defense purposes. Over time, it lost its function and gradually became a popular destination for wedding photography. This photograph captures the happy expressions of a group of relatives and friends participating in a wedding shoot. As they walk through the gate, the newlyweds are still taking photos near the cannons. The flower girls and the guests walking towards the camera are all smiling happily, as if traveling through a time tunnel constructed by Shen Baozhen during the Qing Dynasty. The bright sunlight illuminating the corridor brings hope, joy, and blessings to the wedding.
