台灣台東縣關山三天馬拉松2018 [Taiwan TaiTung GuanShan Rice 3 Days Marathon 2018]

這賽事於關山鎮親水公園起步,
路線途經電光大橋~
關山環鎮自行車道~
沿台20線跑到逢坂抗日紀念碑折返回終點.
雖然三天都是重覆相同的賽道,
但是每天都可觀賞優美的風景,
陽光照射下的澄黃稻田,
各個社區的獨特美景,
縱橫的稻田與純樸的農村風情,
回歸鄉村自然,欣賞縱谷景色,
人也覺得舒服和歡暢.
雖然這幾天氣溫酷熱,
補給站都提供冰塊和美食,
感謝志工都熱情窩心的服務和打氣,
感謝在烈日下為大家拍照的攝影師朋友,
感謝提供私補的朋友,
感謝芭奈藝術團各位美女熱情的打氣.
我的三哥[謝顯榮]在這3天賽事前,
已完成了6天的自助超馬,
所以在他的第7-8天,
我們一起互相鼓勵打氣,
恭喜我的三哥[謝顯榮]今年已是連續3年的九連馬.
一個好玩好山好水好風光窩心的馬拉松.
日期: 2018年8月10~12日

TAIWAN // Day 2 Kaohsiung // Lotus Pond, Fo Guang Shan, Liouhe Night Market

SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more travel & food adventures!

TAIWAN V.2: December 24, 2016

Day 2 was spent traveling to Kaohsiung, visiting the Carton King store, and checking into our Airbnb. We then walk to the Lotus Pond where Kelly sees a puppy.
We eat a few delicious morsels from a local bakery, and then explore the different pagodas along the waterfront.

From the Lotus Pond we trek to Fo Guang Shan where we marvel at the giant Buddha statue, and then we hit the Liouhe Night Market for Cheesy Stuffed Clams, Sugar Cane Juice, Fresh Prawns, and then a few Spicy Mushroom Straws.

The night ends in our Airbnb as we recap the day & our various travels.

Be sure to stay tuned until the end for a special performance by one of Kaohsiung's up and coming singing sensations.

Thanks for watching!

Beinan River in Taitung, Taiwan

Beinan River is one of the rivers with perfect ecology and full of culture values in Taiwan. It is also the habitat of many freshwater fish species. Besides, the local agricultural crops are famous for exports due to its natural environment, too. Therefore, for these reasons, the hydraulic associations set a series of ecological constructions for waterfowl and fish species around the agricultural water intake areas. For instance, the river bank protection designs the willow works and the fascine mattress by the 8th River Management Bureau for ecological function and hydraulic protection in flood season. In this study, the concept and the methodology of the fish protection habitat predicted model is revealed. Beside the simulated hydraulic models, the indoor experiments of the willow works were conducted to gain the roughness. The hydraulic methods by one- and two-dimensional are used for simulation in flood season (2009 Typhoon Morakot event) to bring up the habitat protection locations. The experimental results showed that for the Manning’s n of the willow works is between 0.1322 and 0.1333 which corresponding height to the real field is about 144–176 cm. Therefore, it provided the revetment roughness data during the shelter effect evaluation. From the velocity distribution, it proves that the vegetated revetment can reduce the flow velocity. Fulfilling previous two main steps in experiment and model calibration, the shelter effect is made good going on discussion. Most of references indicated that the vegetated revetment provided suitable and excellent habitat condition, but rare of them provided the proof in data. This study presents that the WUA is 34,939.94 m2 and PUA is 1.53% at the highest discharge of Typhoon Morakot. The whole protection concepts, simulation methods, and results can be utilized for future plan and design of river engineering.

南化水庫

Nanhwa Reservoir, located in the east of Yushan Village in Nanhua Township, the reservoir extends from Beiliu in Nanhua Township toward Jiaxien along the Provincial Highway No.20 (Southern Cross-Island Highway). Built in 1988 and completed in 1994, the water collection area of the reservoir occupies an area of 104 km2, and the capacity of the reservoir is 158 million cubic meter. The reservoir chiefly supplies water to the Tainan and Kaohsiung areas. It is both a utility and a tourism spot.

There are many waterfalls and river valley landscapes in Guanshan Village upstream of the reservoir. A cave looking like the Suilian Cave is located inside a huge rock next to the pool by the Yaoqing Waterfall. You can see another side of the reservoir everywhere on the 12km-long lakeside highway along Highway 175 toward Guanshan (Rueifeng Elementary School). The ancient Jaobanien Battlefield is located down the dyke of the reservoir. The Nanhua Township Office even built the Military History Park, the Environmental Park and the Waterfront Park there in the name of the Excursion of Origins Recreational Park. Mangos and longans are the major crops in the area, and their quality has earned the word of mouth mention long ago. In spring, countless flowers blossom in the reservoir area, making it gorgeous and incomparable.
