Wutiaogang was the name for old Tainan, which refers to five channels that are now located underground (Anhaigang, Nanhegang, Nanshigang, Fotougang and Xingangqigang). In 1998, community building movement was promoted by local culture and history organizations to give birth to the Wutiaogang Development Association. Subsequently, seven cultural halls were created for the sustainable management of the historic area, they are collectively known as the Wutiaogang Historic Area Local Cultural Hall.
