       In the eastern part of Tainan City, upstream of Deqing Creek cut out pieces of hills, because near the city walls is a large area of bamboo forest, and in order to distinguish itself from the east side of another bamboo forest, so in the Qing Dynasty called Shi Chu-Wei (literally means, Western Bamboo Fence). During the Japanese period, it was renamed Bamboo Garden. During the Japanese period, it became a space for Japanese colonial officials to live in, the official residence of the governor was located in the area around the West Bamboo, while the hill of the bamboo garden was set up as a bamboo garden ordinary small school, later changed to “Tainan State Tainan Second Middle School,” and later after the war, the establishment of “Taiwan Province, Tainan First Middle School,” this place was called the Bamboo Garden. And the infantry second team (present-day NCKU Kuang- fu campus) camp continued to the post-war Kuang-Fu camp set up in the vicinity, the crowd gradually began to gather in the Shi Chu-Wei and the barracks area, gradually formed the city and Yule Street, but also laid the foundations for the development in the vicinity of NCKU. Now with the rise in the concept of preservation and activation and reuse of Tainan's cultural assets, the Japanese- style architecture and special historical background contained in Shi Chu-Wei have become the cultural and creative base of the key development of the municipal government, which can be seen in the history of modern daily life in Tainan for a hundred years, as well as seeing Tainan's new ideas in cultural tourism.
