Description of Our Community: Tianjhong(Tianzhong, or Tienzhun) is located in the south of Changhua. Because of the central position in the fields, it was named "Tianjhongyang" and changed to "Tianjhong" during Japanese colonial era. Tianjhong is a rustic and diverse small town with large fertile and lush green fields. Mild climate and quality water from Zhuoshui River created the tasty rice of Tianjhong, especially "Taikeng Rice No. 9". Because of high productivity of rice, Tianjhong is well-known as "Taiwan's Rice Heaven" which means rice granary of Taiwan.

Project Description: Babao Canal, the Zhuoshui River branch throughout Tianjhong township, is the irrigation source of the famous Taikeng Rice No. 9 in Tianjhong. For this reason, Tianjhong is well-known as "Taiwan's Rice Heaven". In recent years, we were also active for our own marketing of Tianjhong by combining with local specialties and features. Therefore, we held "Taiwan's Rice Heaven--Tianjhong 520 Harvest and Praying Carnival" and "Taiwan's Rice Heaven--Tianjhong Marathon" activities, and hoped more people could appreciate beautiful scenery of Tianjhong and realize the culture of rice in Taiwan through the introduction of recording these activities on this website.
