East District Office, Tainan City

The old dorms are located in the space surrounded by Lane 158 of Dongmen Rd. Sec. 2, Fudong St. and Guanghua St., which served as the dorms for officials from the Agricultural Experimental Institute in the Japanese Colonial Period. In April 30, 2004, the dorms were assigned Municiple Historical Site by the city government. The old dorms are one-storey wooden buildings with wide windows and visors. The neighboring area is now reconstructed as Fudong Cultural Park, one of the most popular visiting spots in the East District of Tainan, where visitors can experience wearing a yukata and Japanese tea ceremony culture, enjoying a taste of tranquility among the bustling urban spaces. Next to the dorms are the Hidden Treasure Pavillion, Tainan Holiday Marketplace, and Dadong Night Market (open Mon, Tue, Fri), all of which are worth a visit.

Hsunfang Gun Platform is located in the garden of the monastery in Guanghua St. The historical site remains unscathed. Located in the southeast of Fucheng (the old name of Tainan), its position belongs to the "hsun (巽)" in the Bagua (八卦), and thus obtains its name. The gun platform was constructed in 1836 with coral stones. Looking down from the gun platform, one can have an idea of how the gun platform protected Fucheng two hundred years ago.

Vestige of Taiwan Fucheng City Wall (East Gate Section) is a municipal historical site in Tainan. Inferred from its structure and appearance, the city wall may have been contructed in 1788 after the supression of Lin Shuang-wen Incident, when the original bamboo wall was replaced with a mud wall. In 1833 after the outbreak of Chang Bing's rebellion, an outer wall was constructed. In 1911, the Japanese government implemented an urban reformation plan, ordering that the city wall be torn down. The only remaining sections of wall are located across from No. 225, Guanghua St. and Lane 56, Dongmen Rd. Sec.1, while the latter is barred by an iron fence and is thus inaccessible.

Also called the Shengchun Temple or Shenggongyeh Temple, the Shenggong temple was established in the 57th year of Kangxi Reign, Qing Dynasty (1718). The temple worshipped General Lee, who had served Kaizhang Shengwang (Sacred King, Founder of Zhangzhou) and assisted in the assimilation of the indigenous people. The temple was originally located at the intersection of Dongmen Rd. Sec.1 and Dongrong St., and was later moved to the current location on Shulin St. Sec.1 due to alley expansion, leaving merely the porch column at the original location. Today, the temple host believes that the identity of Shenggongyeh is Kaizhang Shengwang himself.

Dongmen Road has been the most important outgoing road in the East District of Tainan, whose history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, Dongmen Road has connected between Fucheng and neighboring hinterlands, prospering the neighboring areas. Dongmen Road belonged to Tōmonchō in the Japanese Colonial Period, on both sides of which established many new houses after it was widened. These houses were of unique styles with quaint gable walls, arcades, balconies, doors and windows, which are worth a visit.

Longchuan Well Temple is located at No.114, Dongmen Rd. Sec.1. Some argue that the temple was built in or before Qianlong reign, Qing Dynasty, while others belive that it was established in the 22nd year of Jiaching reign (1817) by governor Lin Youhua. The temple had worshipped Earth God before Qingshui Zushi was invited into the temple from Anxi, China, and the temple was named "Zushigong Temple" since then. The current name "Longchuan Well Temple" derived from the Longchuan Well next to the temple, and the street in front of the temple was dubbed "Longchuan Well Street." In 1930, the shrine was torn down due to the urban reformation plan proposed by the Japanese government. Afterwards, Gentry Huang Shin, Huang Shi-chuan, Zhou Da-zhao, Lin Shu, and Chen Zhen-fu funded and implemented the reconstruction of the shrine. In 2017, Lin Shu's offspring Lin Fu-cheng led a crowdfunding effort to refurbish the temple, and the refurbishment of the shrine was completed in 2019.
