Description of Our Community: Changhua City is located in the northeast corner of Changhua County, Taiwan. In 1933, the "Urban Correction Plan" was carried out, and Changhua City was officially born since then. Changhua City has a pleasant climate. By the end of 2022, Changhua City will have a population of about 227,000. It is the most populous county-level city in Taiwan. The railway center of Changhua City is Changhua Station, which is currently the only railway station in the city with a longitudinal line run by the Taiwan Railway Administration. Changhua takes Bagua Mountain as a landmark, and there is a giant Tathagata Buddha with a height of 23 meters on Bagua Mountain, which is famous all over Taiwan. There are 11 historical sites designated by the Ministry of the Interior in Changhua City, one of which is a national monument with a history of nearly 300 years. Changhua Confucius The temple was once an important place for the development of culture and education in the central region. In terms of specialties, Changhua Meatballs, Hot Pork Rice, and Cat and Mouse Noodles are known as the "Three Treasures of Changhua", and the emblem of Changhua City takes this as a symbolic meaning. There is a fan-shaped garage in the north of Changhua Railway Station. It is currently the only preserved fan-shaped garage in Taiwan. It is a designated historic site in Changhua County and is currently open to the public. The Lai He Memorial Hall is also an important tourist attraction in the city.

Project Description: The protagonist of this topic is "Wangzhangfa". "Wangzhangfa" is not the name of a person, but the ancestors hoped that "the Wang family can develop in the long run". Three-story mixed building. In 1904, the Wang family broke the superstition and built three consecutive Fujian-style two-story wooden buildings and endowed each with its own unique characteristics. Not only did they have different styles of facades, but they also built various decorations such as balconies and parapet decoration The carvings and designs are very careful, and the three-story houses are also well-preserved Japanese era street houses. Businessmen seek profit, but so far, Wang Nenghong does not pay attention to commercial interests. Instead, he focuses on maintaining and repairing this century-old historic site and revitalizing this space, hoping that it can become a public space where everyone can come in and have a dialogue with the old house. At present, the first floor is an open venue for art and cultural activities, and the second floor holds parent-child activities from time to time, hoping to allow more people to enter the old house and have more interactions with the old house.
