Shuntian Temple

Yuanli Fangli Shuntian Temple (Chinese: 苑裡房裡順天宮; pinyin: Yuànlǐ Fánglǐ Shùntiān Gōng), alternatively Yuanli Shuntian Temple or Fangli Shuntian Temple, is a temple located in Yuanli Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan. The temple is dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu. History In the early 19th century, conflicts between Zhangzhou and Quanzhou settlers in Yuanli caused the two groups to separate themselves, with the former occupying current-day downtown Yuanli and the latter in Fangli, a few kilometers south. City walls were built around Fangli in 1855 to fend off the rival Zhangzhou population. Since the area's original Mazu temple, Pengshan Cihe Temple, was located outside of the walls in Zhangzhou territory, Quanzhou settlers built their own Mazu temple within Fangli in 1856, naming it Shuntian Temple. The two temples became the cultural centers of their respective population; Shuntian Temple was known as the "Mazu inside the walls" (城內媽祖), while Cihe Temple was the "Mazu outside the walls" (城外媽祖). On 21 October 2010, Shuntian Temple was protected by the Miaoli County Government as a historical building. Between 2011 and 2012, the temple underwent renovation to preserve its structural integrity. Architecture While renovated twice in 1926 and 1964, Shuntian Temple still retains many of its architectural features from its founding. The building has one story and is made of rammed earth, but the stone and fir wood used inside are imported from mainland China. There are three plaques hung above doors dating from dating from 1891, 1910, and 1928 respectively. In the main hall, Mazu is seated in the middle alongside Chenghuangye and Zhusheng Niangniang. There are also altars for Xuanwu, Shennong, and Wudouxingjun in side halls. Originally, there were two Chinese banyan trees on each side of the temple plaza that were at least one hundred years old. Unfortunately, the 2015 Typhoon Soudelor toppled one of the trees. References

It is a subagency of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. History The agency was established on 1 July 1999. Timeline of early warning for COVID-19 TCDC officials saw premonitions of the COVID-19 pandemic in December on social media. As well, medical staff freely transit the Taiwan Strait, so the TCDC was dimly aware that something was awry in December. On 31 December, Wuhan city government stamped paper that required doctors in the city to report all cases of a novel pneumonia to them. On 1 January, the Huanan Seafood City market (HSCM) was shuttered by the health authorities. By 5 January 2020, the Taiwan CDC began monitoring all individuals who had travelled to Wuhan within fourteen days and exhibited a fever or symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. These people were screened for 26 known pathogens, including SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome, and those testing positive were quarantined. Chuang Yin-ching recounted that "TCDC made a request to the Chinese health authority on 6 January. I was notified on 11 January. I remember that day very clearly because that was the Taiwan presidential election day. Around 6 pm in the afternoon I got a phone call from the director general of the Taiwan CDC that (I and a colleague) had permission to go to Wuhan. We flew there the next night for a meeting on 13 and 14 January morning and afternoon in Wuhan." On 15 January, Chuang and his colleague were summoned to the Director-General of the TCDC. The next morning he was present at the expert task force meeting. This was followed by a press conference on 16 January. On 20 January 2020, the CECC was activated.

Mingtan Dam

The Mingtan Dam (Chinese: 明潭壩; pinyin: Míngtán Bà) is a dam that spans the Shuili River about 4 km (2.5 mi) downstream from the outlet of Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan with a height of about 61.5 m (202 ft). It forms Mingtan Reservoir which is the lower reservoir for the Mingtan Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant. History To meet the demand of the ever-increasing peak load in Taiwan and to fully utilize off-peak power, the Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) had entrusted European consultants to undertake feasibility study since 1973. The study showed the feasibility of constructing Mingtan Dam to meet such peak load demand, to avoid expanding current fossil-fuel power plants in Taiwan and to have lower operational cost. The dam was completed in 1994 and opened a year later. During the 7.7-magnitude 1999 Jiji earthquake, Mingtan was one of eight dams that sustained damage, but did not collapse. Mingtan Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant The Mingtan Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant is the largest hydroelectric power plant in Taiwan. It uses Sun Moon Lake as the upper reservoir and Shuili River reservoir as lower reservoir. During high power demand, water used for power generation from Sun Moon Lake, as well as Shuili River, fills Mingtan Reservoir. During low demand, the water is pumped back upstream to the lake. This system can generate up to 1,602 megawatts (2,148,000 hp) at peak production. Transportation The dam is accessible within walking distance North from Checheng Station of the Taiwan Railway Jiji Line.
