  • ROC is the abbreviation for which country? It’s the Republic of China!

    ROC is the abbreviation for which country? It’s the Republic of China!

    ROC is a common abbreviation that can refer to different organizational units, or even the roc, a giant bird in Arabian legend that is said to have a huge body, white feathers, eat elephants, and have immense strength.

    But when ROC is used as an abbreviation for a country, the most common meaning is my country, the Republic of China (ROC) 🇹🇼.

    The Republic of China is the first democratic republic in Asia, established in 1912, which once ruled mainland China, but after the Chinese Civil War in 1949, it could only control Taiwan Island, Hainan Island (which was lost after being invaded in 1950), Penghu Islands, Kinmen Islands and Matsu Islands.

    The Republic of China still claims to be the legitimate government of China, but its recognition and participation in the international community are hindered by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) 🇨🇳.

    The capital of the Republic of China is Taipei, the national flag is the blue sky, white sun and red flag, and the national anthem is the National Anthem of the Republic of China.

    The history of the Republic of China can be divided into several stages:

    • Beiyang government period (1912-1928): The Republic of China was established after the Xinhai Revolution, but politically fell into a long-term division between the north and the south, warlord chaos, and the society continued to move towards a free atmosphere.
    • Nationalist government period (1928-1949): The Nationalist government led by the Kuomintang unified China, implemented constitutionalism, but broke with the Chinese Communist Party, and a civil war broke out. In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out in full scale, and then became one of the main battlefields of World War II, during which the Kuomintang and the Communists briefly cooperated again. In 1945, Japan surrendered, and the Republic of China took over Taiwan. After that, the Second Civil War broke out. In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party established the People’s Republic of China on the mainland, and the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan and lost control of Hainan Island in 1950.
    • Taiwan period (1949-present): The Republic of China government in Taiwan continued to claim sovereignty over all of China, including the mainland, but lifted martial law in Taiwan in 1987, and then ended the period of mobilization for the suppression of the rebellion and amended the constitution for the first time in 1991, practically acknowledging that its jurisdiction only extends to the Taiwan area, and exchanges with the mainland under the legal framework of not recognizing the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China, and then completed the full re-election of the parliament, direct election of the president and other democratization measures in the 1990s. In 2000, the Democratic Progressive Party won the second direct presidential election, achieving the first party rotation and peaceful transfer of power. The political system of the Republic of China is a semi-presidential system, with the president as the head of state and the premier as the head of government; the central government is divided into the Executive Yuan (cabinet), the Legislative Yuan (parliament), the Judicial Yuan, the Examination Yuan and the Control Yuan according to the spirit of the five-power constitution, and the local government is divided into 2 provinces, 6 municipalities, 13 counties and 3 cities according to the administrative divisions.

    The Republic of China advocates basic values such as democracy, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law, and continues to promote policies such as universal health insurance, social assistance programs, and multilingual cultural development.

    The society of the Republic of China is a diverse immigrant society, composed of groups such as Han, Austronesian and new residents. Under the framework of Chinese civilization, it is compatible with Austronesian, Japanese and Western cultures, and also develops in the fields of visual arts, literature publishing, performing arts, film and drama.

    The Republic of China was once a member state of the United Nations and a permanent member of the Security Council, and participated in the founding of the United Nations. Even in the Charter of the United Nations, it is still one of the five permanent members of the Security Council as the Republic of China.

    But in 1971, under the policy of the United States government to unite with the Communists and resist the Soviets, it changed to support the People’s Republic of China to obtain the seat of “China” in the United Nations, leading to the Republic of China gradually losing universal recognition in the political operation. The People’s Republic of China has long claimed to have sovereignty over Taiwan, and is often regarded as the biggest military threat to the Republic of China, but it is also the latter’s largest economic and trade partner.

    The Republic of China currently has 13 diplomatic allies, and develops unofficial partnerships with non-diplomatic countries such as the United States and Japan, and is also a member of several intergovernmental international organizations and multilateral mechanisms.

    The Republic of China operates a market economy, mainly based on manufacturing, service and trade industries, and occupies an important position in the global economy. It has a high degree of economic and trade dependence on the international community, and is also an important leader in the semiconductor and information and communication technology industries.

  • Are there otters in Taiwan🦦? Where to find it?

    Are there otters in Taiwan🦦? Where to find it?

    The cute otter🦦 has often appeared in the newspapers and media in recent years, and the look of a naive expression makes people like it. But if you ask where you can find otters in Taiwan of the Republic of China, many people may not understand that there are actually no otters in Taiwan.

    Of course, there are still otters introduced from outside the island in the zoos on Taiwan Island, but this is beyond the scope of our discussion.

    In fact, in the history of Taiwan Island, there have been records of the sporadic discovery of Eurasian otters, but in recent years, research on ecological investigations has confirmed that whether they ever existed in Taiwan or not, they are currently extinct in the wild.

    However, on the Kinmen Islands, which also belong to the territory of the Republic of China, small groups of otters have been found, and they have been listed as key conservation objects in my country.

  • Three saltwater hot springs in the world

    Three saltwater hot springs in the world

    Every time you mention Zhaori Hot Springs on Green Island, I believe some people will jump out and proudly saying that one of the three most rare saltwater hot springs in the world is in Taiwan Island.

    Some introductions on the Internet will also write that Asahi Hot Springs are salt water hot springs that are rare in the world when seawater penetrates into the rock formations. After being heated by geothermal heat, they are gushing out under high pressure. There will be no stickiness either. This spring can be bathed but not drunk. It has the salty taste of sea water. It is quite unique. There are only three places on the earth.

    In short, the three legendary saltwater hot springs are located in Green Island of the Republic of China, Kyushu of the Japan, and Sicilia, Repubblica Italiana.

    Regardless of whether Green Island is subordinate to Taiwan Island, it has this kind of politically correct question (Mizou prefers the concept of four islands and eight islands, each island in the country has its own independence). In fact, the concept of the “three saltwater hot springs in the world” has been a rumor that has been circulating for many years, from the rumor of the tour guide of the team to the Internet rumor with the development of technology.

    I have personally experienced saltwater hot springs, including Guishan Island, Old Jinshan Governor Hot Spring in Jinshan District in the northern part of Taiwan Island, Haori Hot Spring in Green Island, Hiranai Sea Hot Spring in Yakushima, and Hot Water Beach in North Island of the New Zealand, there are already four and a half by the calculation.

    Welcome all national tourist organizations to invite me! Well, it’s okay for the extraterrestrial.

  • Should I choose the morning show or the afternoon show for the hot air balloon at Luye Kodai in Taitung?

    Should I choose the morning show or the afternoon show for the hot air balloon at Luye Kodai in Taitung?

    A question often encountered by Taiwanese tourists is about “Do you choose the morning show or the afternoon show to watch the hot air balloon at Luye Kodai in Taitung, Taiwan of Republic of China?”

    Judging from the conclusion, it is more suitable to go to see the hot air balloon in the morning. The only thing to worry about is whether you will be unable to get up in bed (you will arrive before five o’clock in the morning, maybe three o’clock in the morning.

    However, it is not impossible to watch the afternoon show. If the weather is stable, it is an added bonus to watch the light carving show.

  • and transport car rental Wish and Sienta 7-seater car who is larger and more spacious?

    and transport car rental Wish and Sienta 7-seater car who is larger and more spacious?

    The question of traveling on the island of Taiwan today is about "and shipping car rental Wish and Sienta 7-seater car who is larger and more spacious?""If you family a person or a school classmate or a company colleague who wants to rent a car for a self-driving getaway, you can refer to this article."

    and car rental is Taiwan's top three car rental platform (already very modest), and even with the global car rental platform Rentalcars, to provide foreigners to visit Taiwan can be simply rent to the walking tools.

    Official website "Rentalcars self-driving car rental inquiry"

    If the number of trips between five and seven people, coupled with a rent B and a off-site bus service, only Toyota Wish and Toyota Sienta these two seven-seater car can choose, of which Sienta is Wish's successor car species, So normally to buy a newer car is always a less problematic problem.For example, the glass area of Sienta is larger than that of Wish, and increasing the field of view is also equivalent to increasing the safety of driving.

    But in fact, if you want to compare the size of the car, it is not much related to the old and new car.So after actually comparing the in-car space of two cars, it is concluded that Wish's in-car space (including suitcase space) will be larger than Sienta.

    The seat width of the second row, if left and right each sitting an adult, two people between the space, Wish will have 33 centimeters, Sienta only 28 cm.The Wish in the third row is 21 centimeters and the Sienta is only 14 centimeters.

    The knee space of the second row of seats, the Wish is 26 centimeters, and the Sienta is 25 centimeters.The knee space of the third row of seats, Wish is 21 cm, Sienta is only 14 cm.

    You can see it from here. Wish's second row of seats is surplus in terms of spatial utilization compared to Sienta.As for the third row of seats, although the Wish seems to be larger than the Sienta, but Wish seat is lower, adults sitting over there will be a bit of a choking feeling.Instead Sienta because of the high space in the car, so the seat height can support the thighs, for the long legs of the person is better to sit (want to open the Wish words better have a short leg).

    As for the luggage space in the rear trunk, if the seat is properly placed, the Sienta can be placed about two and a half (?), if you put down a seat in the third row, you can overlap at least three checked suitcases, plus a check-in box, which is quite enough.and Wish in the normal state of the seat, the rear compartment space because there is no compartment lining on both sides, so it will be larger than the Sienta, placed to three boarding boxes is not a problem, but also can be stuffed two or three soft bags.

    So if it is six people traveling, I suggest that you can rent Wish will be easier to take a seat than Sienta, but if only five people want to rent seven people car, then I suggest that you can start from Sienta.

    In fact, a large number of people also have to take into account the problem of luggage space, if it is the same family, you can also share one or two suitcases on the good.But if the students go out together, but also the mixed words of men and women, basically a person a suitcase, that car inside the space will definitely explode directly.Usually my advice is to find a way to rent a nine-seater car if the number of people is below six, and the seven-seater car can still be stuffed with a lot of luggage at the expense of a third row of seats.If really because a rent B also so do not rent this cold car money, had to call a few people only use the back backpack with luggage.

  • The historical origin of Taiwan's unique weight unit "Taiwan Jin"

    The historical origin of Taiwan's unique weight unit "Taiwan Jin"

    Although as early as 7,000 years ago, the soil of Taiwan and mainland China was connected and the ecology was balanced, but according to the historical records of the letter, the cultural contact between Taiwan and China dates back to the Li dynasty in the early more than 1000 years.But after the Ming dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the middle was once occupied by Japan's war as a colony, until the end of the Second World War and then returned to the hands of our Chinese nation.

    Although Japan has only occupied the island of Taiwan for about 50 years, the bloody crackdown from the early days of the Japanese army, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of dissidents and the strengthening of the Japanese imperial Education in the later period have resulted in more or less flooding of Japanese customs in various parts of Taiwan after the restoration of the people.For example, the "Taiwan Jin" commonly used in Taiwan's traditional market and tea industry is an example from the flow of Japanese militarism to this day.

    Taiwan Island in the Japanese era due to the need to transport a large number of crops to Japan, or even as Japan to launch war materiel use, thus imitating the Japanese ruler, the same Taiwan Jin "Taiwan Jin", to facilitate the many uneducated people at that time at the bottom of Taiwan to convert.After the restoration of Taiwan by the Republic of China, it acquiesced in the deep folk Taiwan Jin as a common unit of weight in Taiwan, and Kinmen and Mazu still used the official "Jin" of the Republic of China because they were not colonized by Japan.
