Description of Our Community: Have you ever heard “Qi-gu”? The Qi-gu Township is the biggest salt fields in the southwest Tainan County coast of Taiwan. Its area is approximately more than 1,800 hectares. The work in Taiwan originated really early. The salt-making method of the ascendants was to boil the sea water. Generated salt was not suitable to eat because the salt was both painstaking and astringent. Chenggong Zheng ruled Taiwan in 1665. His enlistment, Yonghua Chen, had quoted the method which evaporated brine in the sun to make salt with the sunlight. In other words, he introduced the sea water to enter the salt pan. The salt pan evaporated brine in the sun to make salt may be divided into "the earthenware plate" and "the earth plate". The color was quite muddy of the earth plate salt, because its crystallization pond grounds around a house were suppress by the soil. The earthenware plate salt, using the wisdom by the people, manufactured the crystallization pond the tile the grounds around a house. Then it could divide easily crystallization salt and earth. The color of the earthenware plate salt was pure whiter. Moreover the work was easier to carry on the collection salt. Before they washed salt technology to produce, the people ate the edible earthenware salts.

Project Description: In order to learn or ascertain on the Qi-gu salt pan, we really interview the salt pan and follow Mr. Dinglin Chen and Chilin Chen footsteps. We feel the salt field which already left uncultivated. It was very really a pity. If that has the plan to go sightseeing the route, that does not lose the traveling meaning.
