Yiling

Yiling, to the east of the present Ichang, Hupeh Province, was the place where Lu Sun, a general of the state of Wu, defeated the army of Liu Pei, ruler of Shu, in A.D. 222. Liu Pei’s troops scored successive victories at the beginning of the war and penetrated five or six hundred li into the territory of Wu as far as Yiling. Lu Sun, who was defending Yiling, avoided battle for over seven months until Liu Pei “was at his wits’ end and his troops were exhausted and demoralized”. Then he crushed Liu Pei’s troops by taking advantage of a favourable wind to set fire to their tents.

I brought up Fongshan as an example. Fongshan (鳳山區) is Kaohsiung’s most populous district with over 400,000 residents. For centuries it was a city; in fact it’s among the oldest settled areas in greater Kaohsiung. Fongshan City became Fongshan (Fengshan) District in 2010. Before the city-county merger, Fongshan had an elected mayor and for the KMT – Fongshan was a reasonably reliable “blue” spot, mostly due to many ROC military family residents.

Over the past few years, I’ve grown to really appreciate Liouguei District (六龜). It’s one of the most scenic and thinly populated parts of Kaohsiung.
The number of humans living here has steadily declined since the 1980s. With barely 12,500 adults and children spread over 194 square kilometers, Liouguei’s residents enjoy more space per person than folks in Hualien County.
Liouguei is dominated by the Laonong River (荖濃溪), a major tributary of the Kaoping River (高屏溪). Within the district, there are four river crossings. Three are part of the provincial highway network; the fourth belongs to Kaohsiung Local Road 131.

The Jiasian region is famous for taro ice cream. Even though taro is the key ingredient in the ice cream, people in this area bought taro from other regions. During the post-Typhoon Morakot reconstruction process, JCA and other local organisations encouraged large numbers of farmers in Jiasian to grow taro. The Agriculture Bureau then started investing in Jiasian taro farming. Local taro ice cream makrers are now using local taro to support local agriculture.
Usage of local products has boosted the income of local farmers, created more work opportunities and lowered carbon footprints. Previously, business owners in Jiasian competed with each other and fought over business opportunities. After the Typhoon, the community engaged in discussions on how best to showcase Jiasian's unique features and come together for joint marketing in new collaborations and connections.

Many residents are members of recognized Aboriginal communities. Others are of Han descent. Scores are from Siaolin (小林), a village near Jiasian that — prior to its obliteration by Morakot — fascinated researchers because it had preserved some of the traditions of the Taivoan (大滿族) a lowland Aboriginal ethnic group.

As a place well-known for watching fireflies, the district office of Namasia in Kaohsiung City has planned out six routes for watching fireflies as well as other activities in the mountainous district, according to the district office.
Because of its location at a relatively higher altitude away from light pollution, Namasia is an ideal place for watching fireflies during the best firefly watching season from the end of March to late April.[…]
