Description of Our Community: Gan Yuan is located at south-east part of New Taipei City in Shu Lin district, neighboring with Shan Jia and Shu lin. In 1746, the Zhong family of Hakkai immigrants from Guang Dong moved to this place and started to plant citrus and it is how Gaun Yuan got its name. (“Gan” means citrus in Chinese.) The flat landscape was caused by the natural forces of two rivers-San Xia River and Da Han River, the river flow brought along soil, sand and pebbles to downstream.

Project Description: Gan Yuan is a place used to have stunning scenery with clean river and beautiful mountains. In recent years, the booming of secondary and tertiary industry along with the fast growing high technology development, the living environment in this area is getting worse. People start to be more aware of the importance of ecological environmental protection and they finally pay attention to their surrounding environment. In this topic we will introduce the local history and distinguishing features.
