Locating in a valley at the northeast corner of Taiwan and surrounded by the mountain, Ka-Fun-A, used to be a small mining village with nine major families. Each week (or may be month), the family takes turn to go to major cities like Keelung, or Taipei to shop. How many portions each time the shopping family needs to bring home? Of course, it is nine. The name, Ka-Fun-A, literally means nine portions in Taiwanese. Thus, the name of the village is Ka-Fun-A (九分仔), , the Nine Portions.
Photo shows the village of Ka-Fun-A, and the surrounding mountains. It is a beautiful landscape.
