Description of Our Community: Chuloshan, the ancient name of Chia-yi, was indicating 'Mountains surround in the East.' With many beautiful landscapes and good people, Chia-yi is situated on the Northern Chianan Plain, close to the tropic of Cancer 23.5*N. The Alishan Forest Railway, Gao Shan Tea and Taiwan Koji Pottery are specialties.

Project Description: There is an old and mysterious place in Chai-yi City, which is surrounded by high walls. The residents have never been familiar with this place. Their indifference seems to have hidden the fact that it exists. The reason why this deserted place still exits in the city is that some people devote their time and efforts to maintaining this place. However, few people know this. It’s also surprising that a city short of beauty and prosperity like Chia-yi still keeps such a historic building- The Old Chia-yi Prison to the Pennsylvania system, which was built under the Japanese Rule. Therefore, we would like to climb over the walls of time and remove its mysterious veil.
