In a collective effort, people from Xiashuangxi Village of Liujiao Township were relocated to Dexing Community, which is characterized by maze-like, chessboard-style street arrangement as well as the nationally famed Kanglang Brooms made from the leaves of the Formosan Date Palm. By passing down the heritage of Kanglang Broom craft to their children, community residents have managed to present polished, chic accessories that breathe life into the traditional industry.
