Description of Our Community: Guotianzi Neighborhood, Lingya District, Kaohsiung At the heart of Kaohsiung City, Lingya district is where the Kaohsiung City Government is located. The population in this district is about 180,000. Our school, close to Kaohsiung MRT Red Line R8 station and San Duo Shopping Area, is situated in Guotianzi area, a bustling downtown. It is surrounded by department stores: Hanshin and Talee are to the north; Dream Mall and FE21' MegA are to the north; SOGO, etc. are to the east.

Project Description: Once there were two yurts in our school. They were ruined and finally abandoned on campus. As it is such a pity, we decided to rebuild the yurts. Since we did not have rebuilding fees, we thought of the department stores in our neighborhood. There must be a lot of discarded trash. Thus, we visited them, gathered and reused the recycled materials. We made the two yurts glamorous and vibrant again, and they have become a small performance hall in the community.
