The “Pan Gong Stone and Pan Pond” was originally the first entrance to the Confucius Temple site. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Qing dynasty, Prefect Jiang Yuan-Shu renovated the entrance in the temple restoration project. He hired masons to carve a beautiful archway before shipping it to Tainan for erection. Amongst all Confucius temples in Taiwan, only the one in Taiwan has this pre-built archway. During the Japanese colonization, the stone archway was separated from the temple for building Nanmen Road.

Bromine is an important chemical widely used in fire retardants, extinguishing agents, refrigerants, medicine, pesticide, and chemical fertilizers. As a wartime supply during Japanese colonization, bromine was extracted from high-salinity seawater from the salt pan or refined from brine, bromine plants were built near salt plants. Nippon Soda, Nippon Salt, and Taiwan Development companies invested in the Anping Plant with branches in Beimen through joint-venturing in Anpign, Tainan City, in 1939. The Beimen Bromine Refinery was one of them.

Located on a hill near mileage 143 of the Provincial Highway 17 in Beimen District, it is said that it was the place where Xi ZHENG, the aunt of Cheng-kung ZHENG, was buried.

It is said that to extinguish the lifeline of the Kingdom of Tungnin in Taiwan by means of fengshui (geomancy), the Qing government searched for the graves of the descendants of Cheng-kung ZHENG across Taiwan.

Based on the structure and appearance, the ruin of the city wall located between Da Dongmen (grand east gatehouse) and Xiao Dongmen (minor east gatehouse) in Guanghua Street should have built in 1788, the same year of the Xiao Dongmen ruin in the Guangfu Campus of National Cheng Kung University. After the Zhu Yigui armed rebellion, the Qing government built the wooden barrier city in 1733. After the Lin Shuangwen rebellion in 1788, the Qing government replaced the wooden barrier to mud barrier to fortify defense with stronger and larger fortifications.
