Anka is widely used in the modern day. Besides being an ingredient for many foods, it can also be made into Anka facial masks, Anka soaps, and other products. In addition, many well-known pharmaceutical companies now produce many different types of Anka health products to help promote healthy lifestyles.

For us, Anka is something that helps us culturally identify with our home. Every fall, the Anka Cultural Festival is a special event exclusive to Shulin, as it integrates our history, culture, and uniqueness into a single package. After becoming an intangible cultural asset, the Anka industry has become a constantly evolving field. As long as we continue promoting and commercializing the positive effects of Anka, it will help create more economic opportunities in New Taipei City’s Shulin District, and allow residents to identify more with this land.
