Manka, which means “small boat”, is the very first place where Taiwanese people settled down and started their own business. There was a saying “Tainan first, Luganag second, and Manka third.” Walking along the streets nowadays, we see a lot of homeless people gathering at the park near the MRT station. They might seem homeless, but this is the place they really belong to. They are here because this place provides a local protection for them and also because Manka has been a part of their lives.
