The market streets of Zhenbeifang
Gongyuan Community (公園社區), northwest of Tainan railway station, lies within Zhenbeifang’s cultural area. Its traditional streets include Zongye Street (總爺街), Shizaitou Street (市仔頭街) and Dachong Street (大銃街). Farmers once carried produce through the city’s northern gates to sell along the streets, helping establish Shizaitou and Dachong. Tainan Park (臺南公園) is another feature of the area.
A community named for its temple
Zhengjue was separated from Liujia (六甲) in 1974 and named after Zhengjue Temple (正覺寺). The community has Longhu Temple (龍虎寺) to its east, Fengshan Temple (鳳山宮) to its south and Zhengjue Temple to its north. Chaitougang Stream (柴頭港溪) marks its northern boundary, while its eastern and western limits are Gongyuan Road (公園路) and Ximen Road (西門路).
