Taichung Prefectural Hall

The Taichū Prefectural Hall (traditional Chinese: 臺中州廳; simplified Chinese: 台中州厅; pinyin: Táizhōng Zhōu Tīng) is a former government building in West District, Taichung, Taiwan. History The building was originally constructed in 1913 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan as the Taichu Prefectural Hall (Chinese: 臺中州廳) which housed the city hall of Taichū Prefecture. The last of four expansions was completed in 1934. It was then used as the office of Environmental Protection Bureau of Taichung City Government. The building was designated as a historic building in 2002 and as a city-designated historic building in 2006. In November 2017, the Bureau of Cultural Affairs requested the city government to assign the national heritage status to the former city hall. The application for national heritage status was formally submitted by the Taichung City Government in April 2018. The Taichung Prefectural Hall was officially designated a national historic monument in January 2019. In 2018, it was decided to transform the building into the Taichung Prefectural Hall Park which was expected to be completed by 2021. The project was part of the efforts to revitalize the historic district of Taichung by the Ministry of Culture. The project was estimated to cost NT$1.05 billion and an additional budget of NT$1.2 billion was set for the establishment of an archive for local art history and photography development. Developmental oversight of the center was led by National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. Lu Shiow-yen announced in February 2020 that her mayoral administration was withdrawing from the agreement with NTMoFA, and that Taichung Prefectural Hall would not become a second exhibition hall for the museum. Architecture The building of the art center was constructed with Baroque architectural style with mansard roof. It was designed by Japanese architect Matsunosuke Moriyama. It has a street corner style configuration with the main entrance at the corner. The two sides of the building extended like wings. Events The building has been part of the annual Taichung Light Festival, organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the city government. It also used to house other events, such as seminars.

Xinwu Tianhou Temple

The Tianhou or Mazu Temple is a temple to the Goddess Mazu, the Chinese Goddess of Sea and Patron Deity of fishermen, sailors and any occupations related to sea/ocean. It is located in Xinwu District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. History The area of Xinwu was settled by Mazu-worshipping Fujianese immigrants during the mid-18th century, the Qianlong Era of the Qing dynasty. The Tianhou Temple was established in 1826 (the sixth year of Qing's Daoguang Era), with its location supposedly pointed out by the goddess. Its idol came from the Chaotian Temple in Beigang. The original small mud structure has since been rebuilt or renovated in 1878, 1905, 1957, 1984, and 2002. The bronze statue of Mazu was erected in 2002. It is 32.7 meters (107 ft) high and 72 tons in weight. It is protected by smaller statues of Mazu's door gods and guardians Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er. It is the 2nd-tallest statue of Mazu on Taiwan and the 3rd-tallest in the world.

Gongtian Temple

Baishatun Gongtian Temple (Chinese: 白沙屯拱天宮; pinyin: Báishātún Gǒngtiān Gōng) is a temple located in Baishatun, Tongxiao Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan. The temple is dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu, who is the deified form of Lin Moniang. Gongtian Temple is noted for its annual Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage, where worshippers travel to Chaotian Temple in Beigang, Yunlin on foot. History The coastal village of Baishatun was first inhabited during the reign of Qianlong Emperor, where a rudimentary temple was built here to pray for the safety of fishermen. Towards the end of Xianfeng Emperor's reign, local residents donated money to build a larger temple made of brick, which was completed in 1863 (Tongzhi 2); this temple was named Gongtian Temple. Later, the temple was renovated twice, in 1936 and 1990, into the reinforced concrete structure today. Formerly, visitors by car must cross railway tracks and drive through tight alleys to get to Gongtian Temple, which caused congestion and traffic accidents. Therefore, in 2019, an overpass was built specifically for tourists, which goes around Baishatun to connect Provincial Highway 1 with Gongtian Temple's parking lot. Architecture and deities Gongtian Temple is a three-story reinforced concrete building, where the first floor is dedicated to Mazu, the second to Guanyin, and the third to Jimnu Niangniang. There are also altars for Shennong and Guan Yu. The Mazu statue that is used on the annual pilgrimage is named Dama (大媽) and has movable limbs. This statue predates the temple itself; temple officials believe that the statue is at least two hundred years old. The temple also owns two more Mazu statues known as Erma (二媽) and Sanma (粉面). The former's face is painted black, while the latter's face is skin-toned. These two statues do not embark on the pilgrimage to Beigang; however, Erma is used on tours within Baishatun itself, while Sanma is used during festivals in the temple. Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage Prior to the completion of Gongtian Temple, Baishatun residents already had the practice of making pilgrimages to Chaotian Temple and other major temples in the south on foot. Unlike the similar Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage, the Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage does not have a set route; rather, the route is determined on the way by Mazu and the people that carry the statue. In 2010, the pilgrimage was recognized as a national cultural asset. References

ГЕС Tsengwen

ГЕС Tsengwen – гідроелектростанція на півдні острова Тайвань. Використовує ресурс із річки Tsengwen, яка дренує західний схил вододільного хребта острова та впадає до Тайванської протоки на північній околиці міста Тайнань. В межах проекту річку перекрили кам’яно-накидною греблею висотою 133 метри та довжиною 400 метрів, яка утворила витягнуте по долині Tsengwen на 17,4 км найбільше в країні водосховище з об’ємом 748 млн м3. При площі поверхні 17 км2 та припустимому коливанні рівня між позначками 175 та 230 метрів НРМ корисний об’єм сховища складав 631 млн м3, втім, внаслідок накопичення осадів він суттєво зменшився – станом на середину 2010-х до 462,6 млн м3 (при цьому загальний об’єм став практично таким же – 462,7 млн м3). Можливо також відзначити таку особливість тайванських сховищ, як стрімке заповнення осадами внаслідок тайфунів. Так, за три серпневі дні 2009 року ураган Моракот зменшив ємність резервуару Tsengwen на 91 млн м3. В 2004-му почали спорудження системи для перекидання у сховище додаткового ресурсу з річки Laonong, яка дренує центральну частину вододільного хребта та є лівим витоком Gaoping (має устя на південному боці острова на східній околиці Гаосюна). Прокладена звідси траса може подавати 600 тис м3 води на добу та включає східний тунель довжиною 9,6 км, акведук у долині Chishan (правий витік Gaoping) та західний тунель довжиною 4,3 км. Останній перетинає водорозділ між сточищами Chishan і Tsengwen та виходить до лівої притоки останньої річки Caolan. Пригреблевий машинний зал обладнаний однією турбіною типу Френсіс потужністю 50 МВт, яка при напорі у 101 метр забезпечує виробництво 212 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Можливо відзначити, що виробітка електроенергії є лише однією з функцій гідрокомплексу, котрий також забезпечує іригацію (споживає 900 млн м3 на рік) та водопостачання (120 млн м3 на рік). Примітки
