Pingtung in the News 屏東的新聞 (Central 中) 4


There are 29 townships, 3 municipalities and one city in Pingtung County.  It's exhausting to include news from every township, municipality and Pingtung City every time, so what I'll do instead is include news items from eleven different townships or municipalities in each entry.  This way I should be able to work my way through Pingtung County every three entries. 屏東縣包含了29個鄉, 3個鎮還有屏東市.  每次討論所有鄉鎮的新聞太累了, 所以我會每次討論11個鄉鎮的報告.  這樣子我每三篇新聞文章就會涵蓋到全縣內鄉鎮的新聞.

1b. A husband and wife were hiking up the Liding Mountain Trail when it began to rain.  Realizing that conditions were dangerous, they turned back toward the parking lot.  The wife heard a shout from behind her, and failing to locate her husband she notified emergency services.  The rescue team brought the man back down the mountain, though he later died from his injuries.  The cause of his death remains to be determined. 屏東夫妻攀瑪家笠頂山遇大雨  提早折返他走前面竟離奇失蹤亡

1. I visited the temple across from this place not long ago.  A man working in the temple told us that these eruptions occur around every 6 months.  Sometimes fire shoots out, sometimes not.  There is a similar geographic feature in Hengchun Township.

2. As it happens I was in Chaozhou during this three hour period.  Most of the drive there was fine, but the stretch of Highway 1 south to Xinpi was scary.

3. Why so many pigeons in Taiwan?  Many people use them for gambling.  Several pigeons will be set loose from Tainan, for example, and people will bet on which pigeon arrives in Taipei first.  There's big money involved in this activity.

4. Exercise a lot of caution around large trucks.  They're a major cause of traffics accidents all over Taiwan.  The drivers are usually tired, they're pressed for time, their vehicles are too large for most local roads, and they can't see much from the cab of their trucks.

NOTE: Not in the news articles for this part of Pingtung, but there was an oil spill/leak originating in Linyuan District, Kaohsiung City.  The area where this occurred is across the river from Xinyuan Township, and the oil spill/leak affected beaches and fisheries in Pingtung County.
