This project is located in the settlement in Liouguei District(六龜區) and its surrounding areas of Kaohsiung City, with Liouguei(六龜) Old Street block as the core, and includes Dagongzhan(大貢占) Mountain, Butterfly Valley, and Fuguei (福龜)Park near the Laonong(荖濃) River. In 1999, after the windstorm that hit southern Taiwan, Liouguei District(六龜區) suffered significantly, so to revive Liouguei(六龜)’s development, the project takes Liouguei(六龜) old settlement as the core and uses existing culture, ecology, and industrial resources to construct the block environment of nostalgia of enjoying views, caring for health, and promoting an intellectual and friendly neighborhood, all of which provides visitors with richer experiences of locally featured tourism, in addition to hot springs and boating, to realize their desire for slow living in a mountain city and leaving their heart here when they return home.
Two key plans are proposed, namely, "reconstructing the ecological secret environment of Butterfly Valley and its surroundings" and "reconstructing the core of Liouguei(六龜) Old Street." The Heart of Liouguei(六龜) reconstruction plan is expected to improve the urban and rural environment and landscape, highlight local ecological and cultural characteristics, and reorient the development direction of the society, economy, ecology and tourism of Liouguei District(六龜區) for the future. Reconstructing the ecological secret environment of Butterfly Valley and its surroundings: to create an ecological and environmental education field for Butterfly Valley and its surrounding ecological environment through landscaping and urban-rural shaping, prioritize ecological environment conservation and strengthen the tourism industry, promote local social and economic development, and conserve natural resources.
In order to revitalize the development of Liouguei(六龜), this plan takes the old settlement of Liouguei District(六龜區) as its core, using existing cultural, ecological, and industrial resources to create an intellectual and friendly neighborhood environment with nostalgia, scenery appreciation, and health preservation, all of which can provide visitors with a richer experience of local characteristics, in addition to the hot springs and boating. It is a step forward for the post-disaster rehabilitation and tourism development of Liouguei District(六龜區) and brings back the beauty of "Kaohsiung's backyard garden."
