1. Tainan – Kunyi-Kunmingli Joint Activity Center
The residents of Kunyi and Kunming, two neighborhoods near Qingshan Fishing Port in Jianguo District, had long lacked a usable activity center. The district office found a public plot of land next to the Qingkunyu Pumping Station and, with the help of local representatives and a subsidy of NT$11 million, completed the construction in about a year and a half. To reflect the coastal scenery of the area, the building features a Mediterranean-inspired blue-and-white color scheme, instantly adding a romantic touch to the otherwise simple rural community.
