Minghu Dam

The Minghu Dam (Chinese: 明湖水壩; pinyin: Mínghú Shuǐbà, renamed the Takuan Dam, is a concrete gravity dam on the Shuili River located 7 km (4.3 mi) north of Shuili Township in Nantou County, Taiwan. The reservoir formed by the dam serves as the lower reservoir for the Minhu Pumped Storage Hydro Power Station. Sun Moon Lake serves as the upper reservoir. The dam and the power plant was constructed in 1980 and opened on 1 August 1985. Upon completion, it became Taiwan's first pumped-storage hydroelectricity power plant. Takuan Power Plant The pumped-storage hydroelectricity power plant, officially named Takuan Power Plant, which sits near the left abutment of the dam and moves water between the two reservoirs to generate electricity. During periods of low demand, such as at night, when electricity is cheap, water is pumped to Sun Moon Lake. When energy demand is high, water is released down to the power station for power generation. This is accomplished by four 252 megawatts (338,000 hp) Francis pump-turbine-generators which are reversible and serve to both pump water and generate electricity. The power plant has an installed capacity of 1,008 megawatts (1,352,000 hp).

Les deux temples ont été démolis, puis reconstruit en 1938 là où se trouve maintenant le temple Wenwu. Après la rétrocession de Taïwan par le Japon à la République de Chine en 1945, le gouvernement dépensa de l’argent pour développer l’industrie du tourisme autour du lac et de la région environnante.

Taichung City Second Market

Taichung City Second Market (Chinese: 臺中市第二市場; pinyin: Táizhōngshì Dì'èr Shìchǎng), formerly Shintomichō Market, is a public market located in Central District, Taichung, Taiwan that is known for its local cuisine. History Taichung City Second Market was built in 1917 by the Japanese colonial government as the second out of five planned marketplaces in Taichung. Like the first market (currently ASEAN Square), the Second Market was built with three wings extending radially from the center. The market was located in Shintomichō, whose residents were mostly Japanese; hence, it was known as the "Japanese market". The Second Market sold higher-end food and clothing for its affluent customers. During this time, the market also sold fruit and vegetables wholesale. The market was already too small during the Japanese era, and the trend worsened when the Kuomintang took over. Therefore, additional buildings were built around the original and completely surrounded it. However, the market's commercial importance diminished with the westward shift of the city's central business district, the arrival of department stores, and the construction of public markets specifically for wholesale fruit and vegetables. In the late 20th century, the market transitioned into a tourist attraction known for its wide offerings of Taiwanese cuisine. Renovation projects also helped improve the "dirty" public image of the market. One stall selling ba-wan inside the market is mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Architecture The market has a total floor space of 2,388 ping and has a total of 331 vendors inside (54 stores, 150 permanent stalls, 107 temporary stalls). The market is composed of a Japanese-era structure with three wings surrounded by street-facing qilou on all sides. The original Japanese building is built of brick, a style popular during the Taishō era. In the middle of the three wings, there is a two-story hexagonal tower, which was once the tallest structure in Taichung and had a bell serving as a fire alarm. There are six hallways extending from the center in a radial fashion. Gallery See also Miyahara Ice Cream References External links Taichung City Second Market on Facebook
