Meinong Township in Greater Kaohsiung 美濃 - Aerial Uncut Footage
Meinong Township 美濃 is a small town and a popular tourist destination located 30 minutes east of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
In 1736, Chinese mainland Hakkas settled Meinong, a mountain valley rich with fertile soil and natural water drainages.

DaAiTV DaAiHeadline 20110601 Storm brewing over artificial lake
Next up, we continue our series of reports from Meinong. The government plans to build an artificial lake here, to supply drought-prone south Taiwan with water. But local residents are worried the project will backfire. We went to find out why.
持續帶大家看南台灣美濃的專題報導。政府預定在這裡興建人工湖，要提供南台灣乾旱季節缺水的水資源，不過當地居民卻很擔憂人工湖的開挖，一起去探討這個原因。
( Meinong fields to make way for lake? )
May in Meinong, in south Taiwan, is awash with color. Under the blue sky, endless paddy fields of green are ready for harvest.
But recently, the idyllic village life has been interrupted by a controversial issue.
Jiyang borough resident: If you dig here, water from elsewhere will flow in, and defeat the purpose.
Jiyang borough resident: We're strongly opposed, because of the groundwater problem.
Jiyang borough resident: Slowly, everyone is coming around to the opinion that we don't want to build it.
( Controversial Jiyang lake project )
Here in the Jiyang borough of Meinong, the topic on everyone's lips is the plan to build the Jiyang artificial lake.
Jiyang borough leader, Zeng Shunchang : Our Meinong is an unspoiled place. Now the government wants to develop an artificial lake, won't that affect our farming life, and the environment here? The government needs to think about that.
( Fertile fields may soon be under water )
The field where this tractor is working is to be the location of the lake. The original proposal is for five lake areas, from A to E, in a 700 hectare area of land between the Laonong and Nanzixian rivers. The planed route for the water starts at a weir, built above the Gaomei高美 bridge, and takes river water from the Laonong荖濃 into a retention basin by Dagui大龜 Mountain, and then into the Jiyang artificial lake. The reservoir will cover this fertile farmland.
Green Association coordinator, Lu Taiying : With climate change, everyone is very concerned about the food crisis. We all know Meinong is a very important grain and food producer in south Taiwan. We really hope these farm fields won't be reclaimed.
( Self-defeating artifical lake? )
There is also concern about the groundwater issue. Because the water table is 2-10m underground, and the artificial lake will be 12m deep, as soon as excavation begins, the water table will be exposed. Residents are worried the lake will overflow in the wet season, and take away their supply of groundwater in the dry season.
NCKU Hydraulic & Ocean Engineering Dept., Prof. Li Zhengao : There are two ways to build an artificial lake. If you don't resupply the groundwater, you have to seal the bottom. If you seal the bottom, it will be fixed, like a reservoir. If you don't seal it, you'll have a problem in wet season: we don't need water, but there'll be lots of water, so an artificial lake is useless.
( Environmental impact assessment )
The proposal for Jiyang artificial lake passed evaluation 11 years ago. Now back on the table, another evaluation and plan is needed.
S. Taiwan Water Resources Agency director, Huang Shiwei : According to the rules, after an evaluation, if it's not built in three years, you have to do another environmental impact assessment; and a comparative study, if there are major changes, and send it to our agency for approval.
( No plain sailing for lake plan )
Before launching a major construction project to tackle the water shortage problem in south Taiwan, perhaps we should learn to have greater respect for Mother Nature instead.

{Trip} Maolin Trip_Day 3_Liugui/茂林之旅_第三天_六龜
Third day of our trip to the Maolin National Scenic Area. We stayed the second night at the Pu-Lao Hot Spring Hotel ( in Bulao. From there we headed north to the village of Baolai where we went on a walk following the Pulaixitou Tribe Historic Battle Trail. Plum trees were blooming and the scenery was great. Then we headed back south following the Laonong River. We saw the 18 Arhats Mountains across the river and then stopped at a date (jujube) farm in Dajin. Finally, we had lunch at the Meinong Folk Village before heading back home to Taipei.

Hakka Cultural Park | Taipei in 4K
I have been thinking about visiting areas outside the touristy places so this led me to a small cultural center far away from Taipei 101. I had a great time though learning about the Hakkas, a Han cultural minority.

Taiwan – Mountain Beauty, Villages & Culture – Part 2
In this Taiwan episode Joseph leaves the forested heights of Taroko National Park and continues his explorations of Taiwan’s small, cultural mountain villages. In their historic “Old Streets” he explores artisan shops, local restaurants and colorful temples for a hearty taste of Taiwanese culture. He also discovers more of Taiwan’s original people through their food, arts & crafts, customs and traditions. He tries his hand at indigo cloth dying with the Hakka people, witnesses traditional Tayan weaving and participates in the equally somber and joyous Pasta’ay Festival of the indigenous Saisiyat Tribe. Here he joins in their festival of Blessing, Atonement and Forgiveness.

在地圖上可見南投縣仁愛鄉眉原溪、阿比斯溪、北港溪這三條溪流呈川字形貫穿清流臺地，清流部落舊稱「川中島」因而得名。由於水質純淨、少有污染、土壤肥沃，政府在民國65年進行農地重劃，當地因而成為早期農地重劃區之一。台梗九號米係於94年二期作引進清流臺地，主要產於仁愛鄉互助村和新生村，目前栽培面積約三萬公頃，兩期稻作收成分別為七月月和十二月，因當地舊名川中島而取名為【川中米】，曾榮獲台灣農漁會百大精品獎，享有「米中珍珠」之美名。
漫步在田間小徑可見許多花卉，隨著【金黃色的稻田】，呈現出色彩斑斕的田園景象，天上的白雲勾畫出一幅又一幅動人圖畫，讓人心曠神怡。金燦燦的稻田，一串串飽滿充實的稻穗，是部落農夫一年的寄托，一片黃澄澄的稻田依山傍水，川中米就是在這片沖積平原的搖籃中成長，這裡所孕育出的稻米，廣受大眾喜愛。
【瑪姮原宿】位於南投縣仁愛鄉互助村清風路6號，是由部落女兒張淑珍小姐返鄉創立，民宿外有一片碧綠草坪，常見許多小朋友在這裡奔跑嬉戲，屋內也有小朋友正在舉辦暑期夏令營，民宿外觀看似堅實穩固，建材據說是從台北採購運來，女主人以發揚傳承賽德克族人文、教育、歷史、和生態推廣及部落產業整合發展為理念基礎，勤跑清流部落，為族人和旅客服務，她永遠沒忘記她是部落的女兒，也是霧社事件的領導人莫那‧魯道之曾孫女瑪姮‧巴丸。
【餘生紀念館】是個可以了解台灣歷史和認識清流部落的紀念館，「西元1930年爆發霧社抗暴事件後，日本統治局隔年將起義抗暴六部落餘生者298人迫遷至清流部落」。至今餘生者的後代仍然在裡生長和經營這塊土地，並且在各行各業默默奉獻付出。歷史的故事不能遺忘，沒有國就沒有家。

THERE WAS A CAMPING THERE! - TAIWAN ON FOOT #7
I'm Steve, I'm travelling in Taiwan on foot.
I left Sanyi after visiting the Sanyi Wood Sculpture Museum.
I left at around 2pm and stopped at the Shengxing Station, not in use anymore since 1998.
I was walking to Taichung, my original destination but it was still far and obviously I didn't have enough time that day.
The Longteng broke bridge is another tourist attraction along the way. Once there I saw few nice spots where place my tent for the night. So I waited until the last tourist left the site and just before the dark I built my tent right behind the bridge. Once done with that I wrote a post on my Facebook page. I was a bit scared honestly. My tent was just next to the wood and I was worry about wild animals. After a while a old friend of mine, a Taiwanese girl met in Italy nine years before, saw the post and contacted me. Funny thing is that her family has a restaurant and camping 300 meters from where I was! She came out shouting my name. That was a big surprise. Was too late to move my tent in her camping but in the day after I did it.
