Baihe District (Chinese: 白河區; pinyin: Báihé Qū; Wade–Giles: Pai²-ho² Ch'ü¹; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pe̍h-hô-khu) is a district located in Tainan, Taiwan. It is known for its hot springs and lotus farming. The town borders Chiayi County to the north and east, Dongshan District to the south, and Houbi District to the west. Some indigenous Siraya people live here, although their lifestyles and traditions have been almost replaced (or perhaps absorbed) by Han Chinese culture.
