Located in the center of Taichung City, Taiwan, at the junction of the foothills of the Dawu Mountain and the alluvial plain of the Dajia River, Shengang District has been known as the "Barn of Central Taiwan" because of the richness of its soil and water, which made it an important area for the Han Chinese to migrate to for cultivation in the early days. The area is famous for its traditional crafts, especially the rattan weaving and bamboo crafts of the Liuliao community, which used to be an important production area for handicrafts in Taiwan, and still retains its traditional craft workshops. The confectionary industry in Kamioka is flourishing, and specialty snacks such as mochi and pineapple cake are popular, with unique flavors developed by combining local ingredients. In addition, Shengang has a rich human history, with monuments such as the Chang Tien-Shi Mansion in Old Zhuang and the Old Street in Zunjie, which show the development of the settlement since the Qing Dynasty, making it an important base for experiencing the cultural and agricultural history of central Taichung.
