A Han traditional settlement during the time later Mon Ja(艋舺) and earlier Da Dao Cheng(大稻埕). Until early Chin Dynasty it owns chinese name. A group of migrators of Tun An(同安) set their settlement and religious center – Bao An Temple(保安宮) on Pourompon at 1802. The structure of this settlement has been preserved as we can see at present. The spatial structure divided two parts, one is Pourompon Street on east side and the other is Chen Yua Chi house (陳悅記宅) on west side. Pourompon Street includes Ban An Temple, 44 shop houses(Upper Street) and Under Street. Although the settlement of Da Dao Cheng was set up later than Pourompon, but it was more worldwide commercial power strongly than Pourompon. Under the commercial and administrative policy, Pourompon became one part of Da Dao Cheng especially during the Japanese colonial period. Japan planed a Taipei district plan including Mon Ja, Da Dao Chen, Taipei Fu City(台北府城) without Pourompon. Pourompon was became only a subsidiary district for the urban center in Taipei. Pao-Sheng Ta-Ti has been the religious center of Tun An since then. It belief boundary almost spreads on Tamsui river basin and Keelung river downstream.
