Description of Our Community: Houbi Township is commonly known as owl-bi-liaow. Situated in the northern end of Tainan County, the northern and western sides are bordered by Pachang Creek and Chiayi County. It is connected to Baihe Township in the east, Yenshui Township in the southwest, Dongshan Town in the southeas, and Hsinying City in the south. In terms of natural terrain form, it is elevated in the northeastern part and is tilted toward the west. However, the relative height is not significant, and the land form is rather flat. The territory is mostly Chianan Plain in attribute.

Geographically, Houbi Township is located at the border between Tainan and Chiayi Metropolitan. Houbi Township is bound to play the role of a rural village as a result of this location distribution. Therefore, the entire humanities and landscapes of Houbi Township are apparently plain agricultural town oriented. Fields are seen everywhere especially rice fields. In addition, commercial activities in major villages within the precinct are rather slow. It is especially so as compared to neighboring towns and townships.

The main product is “Master Grade Black Bean soy sauce” He doesn’t use any gourmet to make them tasty. They’re all nature made. You won’t fell thirsty after tasting them. And he doesn’t use caramel to color them. The color still stays amber and clear. Besides the “Master Black Bean soy sauce,” it also produces “the regular soy sauce” and “Fermented Bean Sauce.” This topic is researched about “how the Yong-Sin factory working,” “To know the owner’s business concepts,” “To know how the all equipments working in the factory,” “Introduce all the products in this factory.” Of course, we are not just going there for visiting, but also create the curriculum which related to our lessons.
