People breed fish, eels, shrimps , oysters and so on. It is a treasure vase for the inhabitants here. Walking in this area, ditches and ditches of fishing farm meet people's eyes. That's why Kwokow means "crossing the ditches" literally in Chinese. The waterwheels turn night and day without stop. After school, students gather to this area as their playground.
