The former "Ganglin Branch of Zuozhen Elementary School," which was shut down in 2006, has been transformed into the "Zuozhen Moon World Eco-Park." It offers venues for ecological workshops and scout training, and has also created five"camping pipes," which will be opened on August 3, allowing camping enthusiasts to experience a unique way of camping.

The Ganglin Branch of Zuozhen Elementary School in Zuozhen District, Tainan City, was closed on July 1, 2006.The Tainan City Government Tourism and Travel Bureau considered that the Ganglin Elementary School is close to the Erliau sunrise viewing spot in Zuozhen and the unique badland terrain of the Moon World, making it an excellent place to combine ecological education with hands-on experiences.Therefore, in January 2010, it borrowed part of the space from the local office to set up the "Zuozhen Moon World Travel Service Center" to serve visitors and promote local tourism resources.

In August 2013, the center further managed part of the campus facilities and planned to establish the "Zuozhen Moon World Eco-Park," while commencing the second phase of environmental improvement projects, aiming to provide the public with a more comprehensive ecological experience base. Among them, the much-anticipated"camping pipes" are a new type of camping experience space, newly built in the second phase of the project, inspired by domestic and international examples.

The Tainan City Government Tourism and Travel Bureau stated that promoting ecotourism and making Tainan a tourist paradise is a goal the city government is committed to achieving. The five camping pipes set up in the Zuozhen Moon World Eco-Park not only provide shelter from wind and rain but also offer lighting, electricity, and air conditioning inside the pipes, making camping more convenient and diverse. It is hoped that this will encourage more people to step outdoors, get closer to nature, and enjoy Tainan’s unique ecotourism experiences.
