First Stop

Dream Building & Exchange ∞ Sharing of Community Operation

In a centennial house, a group of youths use their creativity to build a platform for cultural and creative dreams, and connect with the locality through the platform. It is hoped that we can be inspired through interaction to return to our own creative thinking and imagination in our lives.

Second Stop

Natural Cuisines ∞ Creative Feasts

Farmers work hard to cultivate rich and excellent crops on the land of Taiwan. Each crop represents a story and a history that has its own splendid flavor.

By using handmade tofu, homemade fermented substances, and fresh and distinctive ingredients, KOUJI Restaurant prepares multiple creative cuisines.

Third Stop

Temperature of Work ∞ Unique Memory

Because of indigo dyeing, Sanxia was an important place for cloth dyeing in northern Taiwan, but the traditional culture has been entering oblivion as the time passed. It is hoped that the traditional industry can recover its former glory through travelling.

As travelers create their own souvenirs through the warmth of DIY, the skills of traditional shokunin can be extended.

Experience items include indigo dyeing, metalworking, engraving and enamel; experience the diversified craft creation of Sanxia

Fourth Stop

Community Visit ∞ Change the Frontline

It was a busy town, a commercial port for ships, and the most important source for the formation of the entire colony. It is hoped that by taking a journey in the streets and valleys with different perspectives can allow travelers to enter the daily life of the locals.

They can also get to know the care and support system that CAN Culture, Art & Nature and its community partners are trying to build.
