Providence University

Providence University (PU; Chinese: 靜宜大學; pinyin: Jìngyí Dàxué; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chēng-gî Tāi-ha̍k) is a Catholic university in Shalu District, Taichung City, Taiwan. Providence University is one of the U12 Consortium member schools, and is one of two Taiwan universities participating in the ISEP network. History Providence University was founded by an American congregation, the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods (Indiana, United States). In the summer of 1919, Bishop Joseph Tacconi of Kaifeng, Henan Province, Republic of China, met with Sisters of Providence general superior Mother Mary Cleophas Foley to request sisters for a school for young women in Kaifeng. In 1921 Mother Marie Gratia Luking (1885–1964) and five other Sisters of Providence founded the Hua-Mei Girls' Elementary and High Schools there, one of the first schools for girls in China. In the spring of 1929, the school was forced to close because of political turbulence. The Providence Sisters, enthusiastic about female education, endeavored to establish another school in spite of the critical situation. In 1932, by the effort of the Board of Trustees, Ching-Yi Girls' High School was instituted in Kaifeng. Cardinal Paul Yü Pin was the first chairperson of the Board of Trustees, and Chi-Liang Ing was the first president of the school. In 1942, Mother Gratia and the other sisters were imprisoned and did not regain their freedom until 1945. In 1948, the Chinese Civil War forced the sisters to retreat first to Shanghai and later to Taiwan. In July 1989, it was renamed the "Providence University for Women". In 1993, it assumed its current name "Providence University", and began to enroll male students.

Central Park (Kaohsiung)

Central Park (traditional Chinese: 中央公園; simplified Chinese: 中央公园; pinyin: Zhōngyāng Gōngyuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-iong Kong-hn̂g) is a park in Cianjin District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The park is an oasis of greenery in the midst of a heavily built-up urban area. History City planners first conceived of, and set aside space for, a park at Central Park's current location during the period when Taiwan was under Japanese rule. Later on, planners during the early period of Republic of China rule referred to the concept as Park Number 15. Central Park formally came into being in 1976. At one point, the park featured a library, basketball courts, tennis courts, a parking lot, the District swimming pool, and Sun Yat-sen Arena. The park was adopted by the Rotary Club and thus also became known as Rotary Park. In the 1990s, most of the built-up areas were removed and replaced with grassy or wooded parkland. This was the result of the efforts of environmentalist groups, and dovetailed with the construction of the MRT Red Line. The Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation footed the bill for the conversion. In February 2014, it came to light that city officials had privately come to an agreement with a charitable organization founded on behalf of a deceased lumber tycoon to pave over a wooded area at the northwest corner of Central Park and erect a public library bearing the name of said individual. A wide array of local citizens have arisen to oppose the proposed partial paving over of Central Park. Features Central Park includes Kaohsiung Literature Library, Scenic Lake, Middle Island, Speech Square, Water Square, Hedgerow Labyrinth and Outdoor Terrace. Water Square offers 20-minute-long "water dances" several times a day. Transportation The park is accessible from Central Park Station of Kaohsiung MRT. The main exit of the station is located at the east edge of the park. See also List of parks in Taiwan References
Red House Theater

The Red House Theater (Chinese: 紅樓劇場; pinyin: Hónglóu Jùchǎng), often called Hong Lo Red Play House, Red Theater, Ximen Honglou or Ximen Red House in English, is a historic theater in Ximending, Wanhua District, Taipei, Taiwan. The theater is located at 10 Chengdu Road. History Built in 1908 during Japanese rule and designed by Japanese architect Kondo Juro, the Red Theater was originally a market building, with its ground floor serving as a department store. The site of the Red Theatre was originally an unmarked graveyard. From 1945 onwards, the building was used as a theater, housing a troupe performing Peking Opera. The theater's many functions throughout the years signify Taiwan's sociopolitical hybridization. It was renovated due to a fire in the 2000s. From 2007 onwards, the Red Theater has been managed by the Taipei Culture Foundation, which uses the theater as a platform to promote the Cultural and Creative industries and revive Ximending's community. The Red House was listed as a Class III Historical Site in 1997. In 2016 the area was subject to an arson attack. Architecture The Red House's unique architectural style is characterized by blended Western and Meiji era Japanese architectural patterns. The style of the building can be attributed to its architect's education, as Kondo Juro attended the Tokyo Imperial University, where he became cognizant of Western architectural styles. The Red House consists of an octagonal building, known as the Octagon Building, a Cruciform building and the adjacent square. In 2015, the Cruciform Building was renovated to restore Taiwan's first marketplace and grocery bazaar. The building is home to the Creative Boutique which provides local labels with aesthetic retail spaces. In 2016, the Octagon Building underwent the largest-scale renovation in the last 100 years. Today The Riverside Live House Corporation Ltd. took control of the horizontal section of the main Cruciform Building in September 2008. It hosts concerts by students and musicians from Thursday throughout the weekend. The building was converted into a theater in 2007, and has since become a popular part of the gay scene in the neighborhood. It is the site of the annual gay New Year’s Eve countdown and the Taipei Pride and the Mr. Gay World Taiwan pageant. It was the venue of the Wikimania 2007 Party, which included a short film festival. In 2017, the main lantern of the Taiwan Lantern Festival was displayed on the square of the Red House, attracting numerous international visitors. Amenities The ground floor houses a small cafe and a display on the history of the building, as well as several independent shops. The second-floor theater hosts regular live performances. The theater is within walking distance west from Ximen Station on the Taipei Metro.

Red House Theater

Red House Theater (chinois : 紅樓劇場 ; pinyin : Hónglóu Jùchǎng), parfois appelé Ximen Red House, est un ancien théâtre colonial japonais situé à Ximending, district de Wanhua, Taipei, Taïwan. Le théâtre se trouve au 10 Chengdu Road. Histoire Fondé en 1908 par l'architecte japonais Kondo Juro, inspiré par les constructions occidentales, le Red House Theater est à l'origine un marché qui devient rapidement très populaire parmi les Japonais. Drainant les populations alentour, le bâtiment est au cœur de la zone de loisirs de l'ouest de Taihoku (Taipei), l'actuel quartier de Ximending. Après la défaite du Japon et la rétrocession de Taïwan à la Chine, les habitants se réapproprient le lieu. Après la vague d'immigration chinoise qui suit la défaite du Kuomintang dans la guerre civile, le bâtiment est reconverti en théâtre, où les populations du continent viennent se distraire, notamment en assistant à des représentations de l'opéra de Pékin. En 1963, le théâtre est reconverti en cinéma et attire les jeunes occidentalisés, diffusant des films d'arts martiaux, des westerns, des films locaux... En 1997, le cinéma est fermé et le bâtiment est protégé, étant inscrit comme site historique de classe III. En 2007, la Taipei Culture Foundation prend en charge l'exploitation du Red House Theater, avec l'ambition de le transformer en attraction touristique locale de premier plan. Ainsi, en 2010, sont ouvertes la Red House Tea Shop, centré sur l'art du thé, et la galerie d'art Cradle of Cultural Creative Dreamer, qui se spécialise dans la création d'art de rue et la sous-culture adolescente. Activités Le Red House Theater est devenu un incontournable de la vie artistique et culturelle de l'ouest de Taipei, visité par plus de quatre millions de personnes depuis 2009, et ayant accueilli environ mille événements. Une salle de concert se trouve dans le complexe, accueillant des groupes locaux. La place derrière le bâtiment principal, abritant un grand nombre de bars avec terrasses, est un des plus importants lieux LGBT de Taïpei. Accès Situé dans le quartier de Ximending, le Red House Theater est proche de la station Ximen du métro de Taipei (lignes Bannan et Songshan-Xindian) ainsi que de nombreuses lignes de bus.

Temple de Quanhua

Le temple de Quanhua (en mandarin : 勸化堂) est un temple taoïste dédié à l'Empereur de jade, situé au nord de Taïwan sur la montagne sacrée du Shitoushan (ou « montagne du Lion »), dans le parc des Trois-Montagnes (en). Construit en 1897, c'est le plus ancien sanctuaire du Shitoushan. Histoire et situation La montagne du Shitoushan (aussi appelée « montagne du Lion »), située au nord de l'île de Taïwan, devient sacrée vers 1895, à l'époque de la colonisation japonaise. Le temple taoïste de Quanhua est alors le premier sanctuaire à y être construit en 1897. Il est dédié à l'Empereur de jade, dieu régissant le Ciel et les autres dieux. Ce temple reste le seul sanctuaire taoïste construit sur le Shitoushan. Il est plus tard accolé au temple bouddhiste de Futian, construit en 1915. Aspect Le temple de Quanhua est incrusté dans la montagne même : son hall principal est ainsi construit autour d'une grotte naturelle en grès. Inspiré de l'architecture classique chinoise, sa toiture de tuiles rouge vif est ornée de plusieurs figures tels des dragons, des phénix, des qilin ou des batailles mythologiques (tsien-nien).

Ruifeng-Nachtmarkt

Der Ruifeng-Nachtmarkt (chin. 瑞豐夜市 Ruìfēng Yèshì) ist einer der populärsten und größten Nachtmärkte der taiwanischen Stadt Kaohsiung. Lage und Bedeutung Der Ruifeng-Nachtmarkt liegt im Kaohsiunger Stadtteil Zuoying an der Kreuzung der Straßen Yucheng Road und Nanping Road in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des Hanshin-Kaufhauses Kaohsiung Arena und ist mit der Roten Linie der Kaohsiunger U-Bahn zu erreichen. Er gilt neben dem stark touristisch geprägten Liuhe-Nachtmarkt als der bekannteste und bei den Einheimischen beliebteste Nachtmarkt der Stadt. Mit einer Fläche von etwa 3000 m² und rund 1000 registrierten Ständen (die allerdings nicht alle gleichzeitig aufgestellt bzw. geöffnet sind) ist er zudem der größte Nachtmarkt Kaohsiungs. An den Ständen werden vor allem Speisen und Getränke, aber auch Kleidung, Accessoires, Spielzeug und anderes angeboten. Das Speisenangebot umfasst eine große Vielfalt einheimischer wie ausländischer Speisen, meist in Form von Imbissen. Der Markt ist an Dienstagen, Donnerstagen und Sonntagen von 18:30 bis 01:00 Uhr geöffnet. Geschichte Der Markt lag ursprünglich in der Ruifeng-Straße im Bezirk Gushan, woher auch sein Name rührt. Aus verkehrstechnischen und marktstrategischen Gründen zogen die Händler während der 1990er Jahre nach und nach an den neuen Standort um und schlossen sich zu einem Verband zusammen, der heute für die Vermietung der Standplätze und andere organisatorische Aufgaben zuständig ist. Da sich in der Nähe des Markts viele Schulen und Geschäftsgebäude befinden und das Essen auf Nachtmärkten verhältnismäßig billig ist, zählten in der Vergangenheit vor allem Schüler, Studenten und Büroangestellte zu seinen Besuchern. Inzwischen wird das Gelände auch von Kunden der umliegenden Geschäfte und Kaufhäuser sowie von Touristen besucht.
