Whatever it's called, "Jiading" is north of Yongan in Kaohsiung and south of South District in Tainan. It's in the northwestern corner of Kaohsiung City, about an hour north of downtown Kaohsiung by car. 不管茄萣正確的英文名字是什麼 ， 它位於高雄市永安區的北部 、台南市南區的南部 、高雄市的西北角 ，離高雄市區開車一小時左右 。
According to the last census, 28,783 people live in Jiading. 上次的人口統計顯示茄萣的人口是28,783人 。
The Qieding (or is it "Jiading?") Wetland Park is north of the port. Despite its being in Kaohsiung this is one of the quietest areas I've been to in Taiwan. According to the signage the black-faced spoonbill, the northern pintail, the purple heron, the tundra bean goose, the common kingfisher, the plain prinia, the eurasian wigeon, the whiskered tern and the northern shoveler can all be found here at different times of year. 茄萣濕地公園在漁港的北邊 。 這一邊屬於高雄， 是我在臺灣到過的幽靜的地方之一 。 公園裡的展示板說這裡可以看到黑面琵鷺 、 尖尾鴨 、 紫鷺 、 凍原豆雁 、 翠鳥 、 褐頭鷦鶯 、 赤頸鴨 、 黑腹燕鷗還有琵嘴鴨 。 牠們各自在不同的季節來茄萣 。
It's MUCH better than the bird watching area in nearby Yongan District. If you're into birds I'd encourage you to not bother with the place in Yongan and come directly here instead. 這個濕地公園比附近永安濕地公園好很多 ， 喜歡賞鳥的讀者去茄萣就夠了吧 ?
Xingda Fishing Port is located in the southwest corner of Jiading. It's a sleepy little place, and it's nice around sunset. 興達漁港在茄萣的東南角 ， 這是個悠閒的小漁港， 黃昏的時候海景不錯 。
Lover's Wharf is on the other side of the port. I didn't bother with it during this trip. It was too hot, and I visited many times back when my mother-in-law lived in Luzhu. 情人碼頭在漁港的另外一邊 ， 這一次太陽太大了我不想過去 ， 我岳母住路竹的時候我已經去過好幾次 。
There are a few restaurants on the port and also a fish market. I didn't eat at any restaurants while I was there, but the oyster omelet I had in the fish market was good. 漁港裡有些餐廳跟魚市場 ， 我沒在那邊的餐廳吃飯 ， 我在魚市場裡吃的蚵仔煎滿好吃的。
West of the fishing port is the Taiwan Strait. Some of the trees along this section of the coast are impressive, even if the coast, fortified against erosion, doesn't offer much in the way of recreational opportunities. 漁港在台灣海峽上 。 這一段海岸的樹有的很美 ， 可惜防侵蝕的消波塊沙灘比較沒有觀光價值 。
The oceanside parks here are similar to what you'll find in South District, further north. Does anyone come down here to surf? It seems possible. 這裡的海岸公園都很像在台南市南區的北邊看到的， 有人來茄萣衝浪嗎 ? 好像可以喔 ...
And this is the northwest corner of the district, right across the Er Run River from Tainan City. Not exactly paradise, but (again) it is nice around sunset. 這是茄萣區的西北角 ， 位於台南市二仁溪的另外一邊 。 這個地方不是很自然 ， 可是黃昏時的景色不錯 。
