Xu Wu Community Introduction
The Xuwu community derives its name from the abundance of Xuwu trees in the area. Beginning in mid-November, the trees bloom with small white flowers, and by mid-January, red fruits start to ripen. However, the trees faced severe overharvesting and nearly disappeared. Like other agricultural villages, the community gradually faced the crisis of an aging population. In recent years, through community revitalization efforts, residents have cooperatively cultivated seedlings and planted nearly a hundred Xuwu trees, reviving the charm of the past. Many reconstruction projects of living spaces have also been carried out, from improving accessibility to designing 13 story iron flower windows within the community, hoping to enhance residents' sense of identity with the place. Unexpectedly for the renovation team, the retro iron flower windows themed around villagers' lives attracted many tourists to the community. Visitors wander through the alleys like a treasure hunt, discovering numerous ordinary yet warm stories through the iron flower windows.
