Dongchili, East District, Tainan City, was separated from Degaoli 32 years ago and has no activity center. Today, it welcomes its own "big living room" to meet the gathering needs of nearby residents for dancing and making tea. It also has a refuge function. The city government acquired the land through volume transfer and invested 32.4 million yuan. It is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The new construction project is subsidized by the Tainan Civil Affairs Bureau, with a total cost of NT$32.4 million. The activity center will be built as a one-story building above ground, with a total floor area of ​​approximately 567.77 square meters, approximately 171 square meters. It will be equipped with multi-functional gathering spaces and activity classrooms, and will be fully integrated into the design of barrier-free facilities. Mayor Huang Weizhe attended the ground-breaking ceremony and hopes that the construction will be completed as scheduled and with high quality.

Dongzhili, East District, Tainan City, originally belonged to the old settlement of Zhupengcuo, and was called "Xiawan" during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties. In 1781, during the 46th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, local elder Chen Yuqiong dedicated a stone incense burner with the inscription "Renheli Degaocuo", and the settlement was renamed Degaocuo. Later, due to the similar pronunciation in Taiwanese, it was often written as "Zhupengcuo". During the Japanese colonial period, it was incorporated into the large character "Zhupengcuo".

Due to the adjustment of administrative regions in 1974, Degaoli first established Dazhili. Later, due to the increase in the population of the settlement, an independent settlement was established from Dazhili on May 1, 1994, and it was officially named "Dongzhili".

East District Mayor Huang Bingyuan emphasized that the long-awaited construction of the local area has gathered the efforts of all units from the request to the contract award. When completed and opened in the future, it will not only provide leisure gatherings for residents, but also comprehensively integrate long-term care, community care, parent-child activities, and can also serve as public functions such as disaster prevention.
