    After Years Of Requests, Pingtung Girls’ High School Finally Got Traffic Light in 2021 — And Now It Plays The School Song

    The song was composed by the school’s first principal, Li Chih-chuan (李志傳), a Pingtung native who studied music in Japan before returning to teach. Li later moved to Taipei, where he played an important role in Taiwan’s early music education system and helped organize teacher choirs and orchestras — including a group that later evolved into what is now the Taipei Symphony Orchestra (台北市立交響樂團).

    Average Home Values in Kaohsiung Slip Slightly, Gushan District Still Tops NT$20 Million

    Real estate agents say Gushan remains one of the city’s most active housing markets, driven largely by developments around the Art Museum district and the Aozihdi redevelopment area. The district also benefits from strong transportation links, including the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, the circular light rail, nearby TRA stations, and proximity to the high-speed rail station in Zuoying.
