Going on Field Trips

Going on Field Trips

　　Each picture brings back memories that have our footsteps in them. When we were in a festive musical event, visiting the workers behind the scene, touring a historical building, and listening to the soulful sound of a saxophone, we could always feel all the special things that Houli has to offer. Let us rewind back to this uncommon tour of saxophones!

● Community Supports

　　Without the participation of the community, a local-specific industry would not be able to gain the acceptance of the public. Houli's saxophone industry has both the assistance of our government and the support of the community. Whenever there was a major event, community residents would either volunteer or support it financially. The Houli people demonstrate to us that they care greatly about the land they live on.

● School Activities

　　A school is the place where a student's skills and talents are honed. A school plays an important role in creating a positive environment for learning. Our school is pulling out all the stops to promote musical activities, such as sponsoring performances within the school or inviting foreign bands to perform. Our school wants to make sure there is music everywhere on the campus. Our principle Wong Da-jiu's saxophone performance can always attract the students' attention to this musical instrument. Under his leadership, we are sure that the sound of saxophone can be heard in every corner of our campus in the near future.

● Pertinent Government Offices

　　Houli's saxophone industry is very fortunate, because it has the support of our government, such as the Ministry of Economic Affairs Industrial Development Bureau and MIRL/ITRI. They not only helped the industry plan and organize, they also participated in research and development, so that the manufacturers could improve the quality levels by using better techniques and better supports.

● Manufacturers

　　Because of the Houli residents' love for music, this western musical instrument industry was able to take root in this town; because of the Houli's residents' humble ways, this industry that is rich in humanity and history was able to be passed down from generation to generation. When the east meets the west, quality is what matters the most. Houli's saxophone makers would make even more efforts to nourish this fruit of labor, because it is so hard to come by.

To visit the manufacturers is an unforgettable experience.

● Local Scenery

　　Houli is a fascinating little town. It does not cover a large area, but it does have quite a few points of interest. Some of the places are historical, while others are just the opposite. Switching between the past and the present, one will find lots of surprises in the rich heritage of the area. Fortunately, this area has kept the tradition even with the passing of time.

● Gourmet Vendors

　　The population of Houli is only about fifty to sixty thousand, but there are lots of street food vendors that serve traditional local-flavored foods. Everywhere you go, it's always a full house, with words of praise being heard periodically. We became hungry just from watching, so we decided to try several places. The end result is us having really full stomach and gaining weight. But we still say to each other, "let's come back here again!"
