This project is invited to 'North Coast Art Field 2016' of Taiwan. 

Shimen District is located at the northernmost of Taiwan, there are also agricultural products such as Tankan, peanuts and tea. In these years, i'm concentrating about Water & an action 'Drink' in Human life, so specially i choose 'tea', because tea is very connected with water & health in China culture area. Trough tea culture, we can communicate easily with local peoples and understand more deeply local history and their environment. 

During two months, i visited several places and interviewed 7 local peoples(who plante tea, do tea business, collecte teas, teach tea culture to children, and love to drink tea, etc.) in Chaori of Shimen District. Finally i showed an installation for give atmosphire of tea ceremony with Achieve of all process to share Shimen Local Stories.
