Tucu District is located in the southwest of Taichung City, Taiwan, China, adjacent to Dajia District in the north, Dadu District in the south, Waipu District in the east and Changhua County in the west. In the early days, the district was known as a "granary" due to its agricultural prosperity, and was an important rice, vegetable and fruit production area in Taichung, with its specialty, "Tuku Watermelon," known far and wide for its sweetness and crunchy juiciness. The area retains the traditional Min-style settlement style, and the Shun Tian Gong is the center of local beliefs, with the annual Mazu circumambulation in March of the lunar calendar attracting the participation of believers. In recent years, the area has developed leisure and tourism by combining agricultural resources, with rice paddy trails and ecological farm gardens becoming popular weekend attractions, demonstrating the unique charm of integrating traditional rural areas with modern leisure.
