The project wins first place in the 鈥淩enewal and Revitalization鈥 category of the 16th Community Competition. The site had participated in earlier editions of the competition, but damage from past typhoons had left the area severely deteriorated. Driven by the community鈥檚 desire for renewal, the space is reimagined as an 鈥淎nimal Village鈥 with thematic and tourism potential. Each section of the village features designs inspired by animals once raised or loved by residents. The project鈥檚 centerpiece鈥斺淕ood Place鈥濃攊s named in honor of a local elder who once trained monkeys, symbolizing a unique cultural legacy.
Good Place stands out for its clear thematic direction and orderly spatial layout. The journey begins along 鈥淎nimal Avenue,鈥 leading to various themed zones, each tied to local memories鈥攔abbits, deer, ducks, and monkeys are brought to life through sculptures and interpretive signage, creating a strong narrative pathway. The monkey zone features nine monkey sculptures, symbolizing long-lasting prosperity and community harmony.
An ecological pond holds a time capsule that preserves community history and residents' aspirations. It is scheduled for reopening on June 30, twenty years later, to reconnect future generations with the present. Guided tours are led by residents themselves, with the community leader personally crafting a 鈥渄ragon boat鈥 for village rides, offering an immersive, interactive experience for visitors.
