Description of Our Community: Fong Keng means "Mapple Valley" in Chinese and was named for the abundance of Maple trees in every part of the valley. It has been praised as the "Shangri-La of Taiwan” for its beautiful sightseeing. The habitants of the valley have been manufacturing Rice Vermicelli for over one hundred years. The sight of Rice Vermicelli sun baking in all parts of the valley leaves a deep impression on people that visit the area.

Project Description: Fong Keng is the main production center of Rice Vermicelli in Taiwan but a lack of promotion makes this fact unknown in the market. Most of the makers of Rice Vermicelli act as suppliers and therefore do not actively promote a Brand name. Fong Keng is the cradle of all Rice rmicelli production in Taiwan as the majority of producers are located in this area. Currently, the government plans to promote Fong Keng as the "Town of Rice Vermicelli" capitalizing on its fresh air, clean water, and suitable topography to help build its reputation as the biggest and best Rice Vermicelli production area. Being habitants of the community, we hope to devote ourselves for participating the promotion.
