Manchu people in Taiwan

The Manchu people in Taiwan constitute a small minority of the population of Taiwan.

The courtyard at Fort Provintia in Tainan is lined with nine stone tortoises each carrying a 3-meter tall royal stele bestowed by the Qianlong Emperor to the general Fuk'anggan for suppressing the Lin Shuangwen rebellion. Inscriptions are carved in Chinese and Manchu

Migration history

The Manchu people living in Taiwan arrived primarily in two waves of migration. The first wave was during the Qing dynasty era, in which the Manchu-led government annexed Taiwan into the Qing Empire.[1] The second wave was immediately following the Chinese Civil War, when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. As of 2009, there are about 12,000 Manchu people living in Taiwan.[2]
