Description of Our Community: Shezi Island is located in Sections 7 and 8 of North Yanping Road, Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan. It has become a kind of "peninsula", linked together with Taipei City. This sandbank is by the confluence of the Keelung River and the Danshui River.Because of fertile soil brought by the river, it had become an important vegetable producing area in Taipei area. However, since the construction was banned for nearly 50 years, many green farms have been replaced by illegal buildings and factories. Residents are worried about the quality of residency. In recent years, the issue of the development of Shezi Island has attracted much attention. We hope that we can do something good for Shezi Island ,and own a wonderful future!
