Description of Our Community: Lintiensan is located at Wanrong Township of Hualien. It was one of the most important forest districts in early periods. Forestry was not only the foundation stone of Taiwan’s economy but also the essential estate when during the time occupied by Japan. In addition, it even created a flourishing village, named Molisaka. However, according to the exhausted resources as well as the change of policy, its prosperous scenes became a lonesome mountain city. The natural and cultural landscapes are extremely abundant in Molisaka We will have the chance to appreciate the valuable property, including vast forest region, conventional Japanese architecture, the daily necessities used by residents in that area, aged lumberyards, the train carrying the wood, railroads, coal factories, cutting instruments, etc. Although this place has gone through all the vicissitudes, the dwellers still consider that they get united closely. As a result, they combine with their power to put the history as well as the old assets in position, expecting to build another style and features.

Project Description: According to the exhausted resources as well as the change of policy in Molisaka, it is not prosperous anymore. Besides, the priceless resources also disappear gradually. At that time, group of people who refuse to take defeat lying down are willing to make efforts for their hometown. They don’t ask any rewards and just hope to infuse a new life into the place they love. Therefore, we are deeply moved by those enthusiastic inhabitants. We want to explore its true color and by the introduction of our website, we are able to search for its history, to figure out its meaning, and to invite more people to take part in its future.
