Description of Our Community: Perhaps we do not need to be as sympathetic as Tsao in his poem, but we learn to cherish friendship as Wang did in his poem. Round shaped with bright red colored beans are quite useful in many ways. People often use red beans as decorations or as a taken of one’s love. With sunny and cloudless weather in Wandan,the red beans are very thin but large, easy to cook and taste soft, which make them appropriate for many cuisines. It is hoped to make more people know the benefits of red beans in this project

Project Description: With rich and productive plains covered bright green crops make Wandan unsophisticated and graceful. Over the past three hundred years, there’s saying goes, “Pingtong used to be called A-Gao, and Wandan was the first street built at that time,” which indicated the prosperity of Wandan used to be. Wandan in Pinpu aboriginal language means markets. With resourceful paddy rice, pasturage, and sea-farming, Wandan is also an important place of production of red beans. People in Pingtong started to cultivate red beans around 1960s. People of Wandan took the seeds from A-Li Mountain, Chiayi, cultivated and exported successfully to Japan. Soon many counties in Pingtong have the craze of cultivating red beans.
