Sugar and water are integral elements that nurtured the development of Tainan City. During the residency period at Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center, yukaotani and hank ou visited the local landmarks such as Daofeng Inland Sea which was once the hub of sugar production and trading in the Dutch Period, Cianan Irrigation built during the Japanese Colonial Period, and lately-built intake and the underground water channel on Zenwen River. The
