The project delved into revitalization locations in Yonghe, Xinzhuang, Sanchong and Tamsui, with four events featuring eight speakers in different fields, ranging from the unique multicultural society and immigrant population in New Taipei, to ceremonies, craftsmanship, the record industry, and art settlements. It invited New Taipei residents to tour the cultural landmarks in the city and experience its unique character, at the same time as feeling first hand the creative energy linking those cultural sites.
