Description of Our Community: Hsinchu, formally called "Chu-Chier", was built 171 years ago. It is a windy town, full of history and historical sites. Long before its establishment, Kin-San-Mian was still occupied by the Taokas, an aboriginal tribe. There are many legends about this area. All these heritages and stories have arose the love and attention of people for the origins of their home town. Kin-San-Mian is also a place where the National Science Based Industrial Park, the first high-tech industrial park in Taiwan, is located. In the past twenty yeras this Silicon Valley of Taiwan has created an economic miracle. It has also brought about many problems and conflicts of culture, environment, humanity and technology in Hsinchu.

Project Description: Kin-San-Mian, the orchid of the valley in Hsinchu, where preserves so many historical sites and rich culture, is a place of memory and history for the past two hundred years in Taiwan. Moreover, when the goverment established the National Science Based Industrial Park in this area twenty years ago, it has not only created abundant economic growth to the neighborhood, but has also caused many confrontains between the development of technology and humanities. With this understanding, this research aims to arose the love of the home country and to eatablish the mutual respects between humanities and technology. We hope that the image of the high-tech industrial park and the beauty of the historical town could match perfectly and to share the hornor and glory of its prosperity together.
