Nanhua Dam

Nanhua Dam (Chinese: 南化水庫; pinyin: Nánhuà Shuǐkù; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lâm-hoà Chúi-khò͘), originally named Houjie Dam (後堀水庫), is a dam across the Houku River, a tributary of the Zengwen River in southern Taiwan. Located at Nanhua District, Tainan, the dam was built to provide municipal water to Tainan and Kaohsiung City and is operated by the Taiwan Water Corporation. Construction work started in December 1988, and impoundment of the reservoir began in July 1993. A conduit to supply water from the reservoir to Kaohsiung was completed in October 1993 and the entire project was operational in March 1994. The curved earthfill dam is 87.5 metres (287 ft) high and 511 metres (1,677 ft) long, impounding a reservoir with a capacity of 158 million cubic metres (128,000 acre⋅ft) and an active or useful capacity of 149.5 million cubic metres (121,200 acre⋅ft). The reservoir naturally receives water from a catchment of 104 square kilometres (40 mi2), which is not enough to fill it alone. Most of the water is actually diverted through a tunnel from the Qishan River to the east, adding 408 square kilometres (158 mi2) to the drainage area. The tunnel provides an average of 160.6 million m3 (130,200 acre feet) of water to the reservoir each year. Because of its location in a mountainous region, Nanhua is prone to heavy sediment accumulation. A small upstream diversion weir was built to send water laden with silt through a bypass tunnel and allow the remaining clear water to enter the reservoir. However, large amounts of silt are still carried into the reservoir during flooding events. In 2009 alone, flooding caused by Typhoon Morakot dumped 17 million m3 (14,000 acre feet) of silt into the reservoir. In February 2010, the Taiwan Water Corporation began the first stage of a two-year sediment removal project at Nanhua. See also List of dams and reservoirs in Taiwan Zengwun Dam References

Taichung International Airport

Taichung International Airport (台中國際機場)(IATA: RMQ, ICAO: RCMQ) is an international airport located in Taichung, Taiwan. In 2023, it was the sixth busiest airport in Taiwan, with scheduled services to China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, South Korea, and Vietnam. History Early years Taichung International Airport was constructed during the era of Japanese rule and was named Kōkan Airport (Japanese: 公館空港). The United States Air Force (USAF) had been garrisoning the base with two fighter squadrons until the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty came into force on March 3, 1955. The airport then expanded in 1954 according to the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty, and later renamed Ching Chuan Kang Air Base (CCK) after General Qiu Qingquan. In 1966 the American Air Force established a joint forces air-base at CCK. It was the largest air force base in the Far East at the time, allowing Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers to land. During the Vietnam War, CCK became a depot for the USAF. The US Military used CCK and Shuinan Airport to run many of its long-distance Vietnam, Cambodia and Laotian bombing, scouting and cargo transport runs during the Vietnam War era. This base was shut down and most American facilities were removed after the U.S. established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1979. Developments since the 2000s Construction of passenger facilities was completed in September 2003 and civilian services began on March 5, 2004, replacing the old Shuinan Airport located closer to downtown Taichung. Ching Chuan Kang Airport has since become the only airport serving Taichung. The airport was promoted to an international airport on January 3, 2017, and renamed Taichung International Airport. In 2003, with the demand to develop cross-strait and other international air routes from Taichung City, it was decided to transfer the airport from Shuinan Airport (TXG) to RMQ; since RMQ had been for the airbase for the Republic of China Air Force, the Taiwanese Civil Aeronautics Administration held negotiations with the air force, which led to the air force allowing an edge for building a new civilian terminal. The first terminal was completed in 2004, and all flights moved from TXG to RMQ soon afterwards. In 2008, officials decided to build another terminal. Terminal 2 now handles all international and cross-strait flights, while the older Terminal 1 serves domestic flights.

Yuanshan Temple

Yuanshan Temple (Chinese: 圓山宮; pinyin: Yuánshān Gōng) is a temple in Lucao Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan. The temple is dedicated to Wangsun Dashi, a legendary child from the Song dynasty. History According to legend, Wangsun Dashi (Chinese: 王孫大使) was a child named Xie Shengxian (Chinese: 謝聖賢) that lived during the Song dynasty. When he was thirteen years old, Xie traveled Tong'an, Fujian with his dog and lived in the home of a government official with the surname Chen. One day, the official's daughter was possessed by a river snail yaoguai, so Xie sacrificed himself by jumping into a lake next to Feng Mountain (鳳山). Therefore, the Chen clan deified Xie as Wangsun Dashi and built a temple for him next to the mountain. The Chen clan migrated across the Taiwan Strait in the Qing dynasty, and brought Wangsun Dashi with them as their protector deity. The clan founded Yuanshan Temple in 1738 or 1752 to worship Wangsun Dashi in Lucao, and the temple became the religious center of the region. The temple has been rebuilt multiple times, the most recently completed in 1976. Architecture Yuanshan Temple is located in downtown Lucao and faces east. The main altar houses Wangsun Dashi, while the side altars house Fude Zhengshen and Wangsun Dashi's dog. The temple columns are carved with antithetical couplets, and each line begins with the characters yuan and shan, respectively, except for the columns beside the side altars. Wangsun Dashi's statue is carved with dimples to resemble a boy. Traditions Geshuihuo Every twelve years, Yuanshan Temple holds a ceremony known as geshuihuo (割水火) on the banks of the Puzi River to symbolically call on wandering spirits to change their ways and assemble into an army under Wangsun Dashi. During the ceremony, a temporary altar is placed on a sand bar, and a flag is placed next to the river. Twelve days later, a procession carries weapons and crosses the river to retrieve the altar and the flag, marking the end of the ceremony. Fanghuoma Historically, Yuanshan Temple has held a ritual known as fanghuoma (放火馬), where paper horses are paraded around and burned, to protect citizens from disease. However, this ritual was not held for roughly 60 years until February 2021, where it was revived for the COVID-19 pandemic.
