These exhibitions featured three main themes: "Tamsui and Jinshan Coastal Stone Weirs," "Tamsui: A Town of Rivers, Seas, and Mountains," and "Four Hundred Years of the Keelung-Tamsui Twin Cities." These exhibitions were aimed to present the historical landscape and cultural characteristics of Tamsui to the public.
◆The Center for General Education and Core Curriculum organized the "Tamkang and NTU Co-Creation of Dance and Music with Houtong Miners' Life Encounters: 'Reflection' Performance."
