Some pictures took on a old path (千段崎) in Nán-Kēng (南坑), Beipu (北埔), Hsinchu County (新竹縣).

Atelier Hui-Kan and the villagers of this community have a project to realize a map of this area. The path is 100 years old, it was covered by more than 1000 stones and led to fields and old houses. People left the traditional houses and fields, many stones were stolen, and some part of the path disappeared. This day, 29.08.2010, a friend (Feishu) helped us opening the track and we found back a section of the forgotten path. Recent activities concerning this project include imagining some names for two anonymous rivers, making stamps and papercuts for the design of the map, collecting sounds and images of the nature and of the traditional activities which relates to the daily life of this area…

The complete gallery is here.
