Previously, the location of Lukang Artist Village was called “Mullet Squatter”, which was the working space of fish farmers for the convenience of catching mullets. Due to its special function, it was also called “Sha Zhou” (sand dune). During Japanese Occupation Period, the river was filled to pave roads and to build Japanese-style houses. In 1945, Taiwan was retaken by the KMT Government, and was managed by Lukang Town Office.
