The people of Pishan and two other villages in Shihting Rural Township once had a road by which they could enter and leave their villages, but today the road is under water, and their only access is by boat. "You can't go home too late at night," says a resident of one of Pishan Village's orange groves, because after six o'clock there's no boat.
