Built during the Japanese-occupied era, Houtong was once a rich
coal mining town. During the 1990’s with the decline of the coal
industry in Taiwan, the town also saw its own decline. About ten

the town’s many stray cats. She posted photos on Facebook and
created a sensation around Taiwan. Now, Houtong is known as the
