Description of Our Community: Luchou City is situated on the west bank of the downstream of Tamshui River, and is bounded by the river on the northeast side facing Shilin District of Taipei City. It is adjoined to Wugu Township on the west side, and Sanchung City on the southeast side in a vertical rhombus shape. The area is 8,321 sq.km, and is only larger than Yonghe City among all 29 townships and cities in Taipei County. Because of the convenient geographic location of Luchou, it is the main path connecting Bali and Wugu to Taipei City. Therefore, Luchou Food Market is an important gathering place for the local residents.

Project Description: Luchou Food Market has 30 years of history. It became the shopping center of Bali and Wugu during 1960~1970s due to its convenient geographic location. Through interview and field investigation, we attempt to understand the history of Luchou Food Market. By interviewing with the vendors and customers, we try to discover the relationship between the market and the local life, and reveal the touching life stories took place in the market. By experiencing the peddling work in the food market, we aim to explore the interactive relationship between the vendors and customers. Lastly, we promote the Luchou Food Market on our campus to help all teachers and students understanding the close relationship between the market and our daily life.
