同德圍包括鵝掌坦、田心、粵溪、上步、橫滘5條村。1990年廣州市人民政府將同德圍規劃做大型住房解困區，1996年因興建地鐵同內環路，幾萬廣州市區拆遷戶安置喺呢處，1998年興建教師新村。但交通、環境、治安、醫療、教育等等都同市區爭好遠。2005年，廣州電視臺節目《新聞日日睇》報道同德圍嘅困境，令公眾對呢笪埞方有所關注。
Tongdewei includes 5 villages: Ezhangtan, Tianxin, Yuexi, Shangbu and Hengjiao. In 1990, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government planned Tongdewei as a large-scale housing relief area, and in 1996, due to the construction of the subway and the inner ring road, tens of thousands of demolition households in the urban area of Guangzhou were resettled here, and in 1998, a new village for teachers was built. However, transportation, environment, public security, medical care, education, etc. are far from the urban area. In 2005, Guangzhou TV's program "News Watching Every Day" reported on the plight of Dewei, which made the public pay attention to this place.
