Xiyu West Fort or or Xiyu Western Battery (Penghu, Taiwan)
Xiyu West Fort is located at Waian Village, Xiyu Township, Penghu County. It is one of the 4 naval defenses built by Wu Hongluo, commander of Penghu, in 1886, following the Sino-French War. Penghu is part of the sea transportation route between China and Taiwan and was a stopping point for early immigrants to Taiwan. In terms of military strategy, it serves as an outpost for Taiwan's defense and affects the security of China's southeast coast, making it a long-time strategic location for naval defense.
The fort occupies 8.15 hectares and is surrounded by a wall, inside of which is a stone platform bearing four main and supplementary cannons. Beneath the platform is a tunnel-style barracks 3.9 meters wide and 3.3 meters high, forming a triangular shape. It controls Xiyu, Tongpanyu, the inland mouth of Hujingyu, and the west side of the Penghu port, forming a fire net with Jinlongtou Fort. West Fort is slightly square in shape, surrounded by an earthen wall, and has four cannons, 2 circular and 2 semi-circular, facing the sea.
In front of the cannons is a smaller wall with shield-shaped openings to store cannonballs. Ammunition is stored between the cannons and underneath the surface. Behind this is a flat triangular-shaped arched stone fort. The central entrance has 2 arched gateways above which are an inscribed board reading Xiyu West Fort. Viewed from the entrance, the fort appears to protrude from the ground, but from the sea, it seems concave, submerged beneath the earthen wall. The barracks are made of thick load-bearing walls and solid arched roofs to protect from cannon fire.

The Sea-crossing Bridge
The Sea-crossing Bridge-Group 4. Tour guides are Karen, Ching and Falco. They are going to show you The Sea-crossing Bridge.. Yes, We Can!! Yes, You Can!!
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Penghu. We are your tour guides Ching, Falco and Karen. Now, we are introducing the Sea-Crossing Bridge. This bridge is also named the Great Bridge. The bridge links the islands of baisha and Xiyu.
The Sea-Crossing Bridge is one of the longest bridges in Taiwan. It took a lot of time and money to build. The Sea-Crossing Bridge was first built from 1965 to 1970. This first bridge was five thousand five and fourty-one meters long. At that time it was an one-way bridge.
After 14 years, it was too old and dangerous to drive on. So the Sea-Crossing Bridge was reconstructed in 1984, and it was completed in 1996. After reconstruction the bridge became a straight two-way road. Many old people always said the bridge was three thousand meters long, in fact, the bridge was only two thousand four hundred and ninety-four meters long.
The Sea-Crossing Bridge has not only improved the traffic but also saved Xiyu residents a lot of money and time. The bridge has also improved the social life of the island is. Although the bridge is often very windy it is a wonderful place to take photos. Enjoy your trip.

Hello everyone！ Welcome to Penghu. We are your tour guides.(介紹自己)
Now, were going to introduce you the Sea-Crossing Bridge.
If you ride a motorbike, scooter and bicycle across the sea-crossing bridge, you will feel a gentle cool breeze. This is a very long bridge.
F：How long is the bridge？
In fact it is the longest bridge in Penghu stretching for 2494 meters. This bridge joins the only roads between Xiyu and Baisha .The view from the bridge is one of the most beautiful views in the world. From the bridge, the sea stretches as far as the eye can see and the sky is especially blue. Visitors always like to come here to take pictures and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
Ever since this bridge was built, the people of Xiyu have been able to go to Magong by road rather than only by boat. Although many people were killed during the building of the bridge their sacrifice is much appreciated by all the people who live in Xiyu as they can now drive a car to Magong.
There is a special cactus ice cream roadside stall just nearby the Sea-crossing Bridge and it is the most famous and delicious one in Penghu.
E：Where can I buy delicious cactus ice cream?
I：Oh！Just over there. Can you see?
E：Where？Where？
I：Just follow me！Lets go！
Cactus ice cream is unique to Penghu. When you come to Penghu you must try cactus ice cream.
If you have free time, you might like to invite your friends, classmates or your family to visit the bridge. I believe that you will have a very good time. A trip to this bridge will leave you with many unforgettable memories.
It's our pleasure to interpret for you today. Thank you very much!. Bye, bye~

LSH：Hello, everyone! Were group 2. We are youre your guides today.
L： Im Lliy. S：Im Shannon. H： Im Hank.
LSH：Today we are going to go to Hsiaomen Geology Hall.
S：ㄏㄟˊ, where are we? H：I know. We are at the Whale Cave.
L：No, youre wrong. Look at the sign. Its Hsiaomen Geology Hall. So were at the entrance of Hsiaomen Scenic Spot nearby the Whale Cave, which is also a famous scenic spot.
S：Oh~ I understand. But what are the functions of this hall?
L：ha ha.. When it comes to that, I know the best. The hall provides a lot of geological data about Penghu that include terrain, culture, samples and rocks. And most of important thing is that it includes lots of pictures and information in detail(詳細說明).
H：O~I know that. Ive heard that the information in here is very clear and easy to understand. And the hall has many samples. Therefore, it seems if you were in the scene.
S：I cant wait to visit right now.
L：So, lets go now. By the way, we can avoid the strong sunshine by going inside the hall.
H：OKOK. Its very hot, lets get in and enjoy the air conditioner with us.
S：No, you should follow me, right?
LSH：hahaha Lets go.
The Hall includes special facilities to ensure ease of access for all. For this reason, disabled tourists and those with young children in prams can also visit. Hsiaomen Geolgy Hall was finished in April, 2001. It has eight exhibitions that. There are guide maps in the Hsiaomen island exhibition, exhibits of the Penghu archipelagos terrain, landscape models, rock exhibitions, ecology exhibition and ocean ecology exhibition, culture exhibition and samples exhibition. To ones surprise, the toilets in Hsiaomen Geology Hall are pretty clean and cleaned regularly. As a result, the hall has gained governments praise for several continuous years. If you would like to understand more about Penghu, Hsiaoment Geology Hall is a good place to visit.
We have taken our tourism students on an excursion to Hsiaomen Geology Hall. This experience gave us a good opportunity to commend the beauty of Penghu to them. For example, there is an observatory building on top of Hsiaomen Geology Hall where you can feel the sea breeze. At nightfall, tourists can enjoy a great view of the sea and the sunset at the same time. If you look to the right, you can see examples of the traditional vegetable gardens of Penghu that are surrounded by coral stone fences. These coral fences help protect crops from being harmed by the Northeastern winter wind. After visiting Hsiaomen Geology Hall, tourists can eat some of Penghus delicious and famous products. Local shops sell squid noodles, cactus ice cream among other local Penghuese specialties.
Yes, We Can!! Yes, You Can!!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The First Sino-Japanese War (25 July 1894 – 17 April 1895) was fought by the Japanese Empire against the Qing Empire, primarily for dominance in Korea. After more than six months of unbroken successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the port of Weihaiwei, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895.
The war demonstrated the failure of the Qing Empire's attempts to modernize its military and fend off threats to its sovereignty, especially when compared with Japan's successful Meiji Restoration. For the first time, regional dominance in East Asia shifted from China to Japan; the prestige of the Qing Empire, along with the classical tradition in China, suffered a major blow. The humiliating loss of Korea as a tributary state sparked an unprecedented public outcry. Within China, the defeat was a catalyst for a series of political upheavals led by Sun Yat-sen and Kang Youwei, culminating in the 1911 Xinhai Revolution.
The war is commonly known in China as the War of Jiawu (Chinese: 甲午戰爭; pinyin: Jiǎwǔ Zhànzhēng), referring to the year (1894) as named under the traditional sexagenary system of years. In Japan, it is called the Japan–Qing War (Japanese: 日清戦争, Hepburn: Nisshin sensō). In Korea, where much of the war took place, it is called the Qing–Japan War (Korean: 청일전쟁; Hanja: 淸日戰爭).
