County transportation officials said traffic deaths and injuries had declined in June from both the previous month and the same period last year. However, they said increased travel during the summer holiday period appears to have raised road safety risks in July.

The playground, built inside part of the former Taiwan Railways Kaohsiung Workshop, is scheduled to open Aug. 8. The main recreation area covers about 1.5 hectares and includes more than 30 attractions, according to city officials and local reports.

UDN reports that three samples contained benzoic acid, a preservative that is not permitted in fresh noodle products under Taiwan’s food-additive rules. Two of the failed samples came from Kaohsiung. One was purchased at Fengshan First Public Market, also known as Bingzai Market. The other came from a manufacturer near Shiquan Market and contained 3.26 grams of benzoic acid per kilogram, the highest level found in the survey. A third sample from Pingtung’s East Market contained the same banned preservative.

The Kaohsiung District Court found that the barrier had reportedly been in place since 1989. It also found that police had handled about 70 reports, complaints, and traffic incidents in the surrounding area over the previous five years, but had still not removed it.

The officer, surnamed Wang, reportedly first climbed over a wall behind his police station with a sickle and cut down two bunches of bananas belonging to a local resident. About two weeks later, he stopped beside nearby farmland before dawn, pulled two young avocado trees from the ground, and replanted them at his home.

Investigators believe false documents were used to send the systems to restricted markets, with some servers reportedly travelling through Japan before reaching China.

Relationship began through migratory bird conservation work linked to Kenting National Park. The new agreement turns those earlier exchanges into a broader long-term partnership.

Mayor says he will finish his term amid speculation he could be promoted.

The former TRA workshop is an important part of Kaohsiung’s industrial history. The city said the redevelopment project is intended to preserve railway heritage while turning the site into a public space for recreation, culture, and family activities.

On the question of what to do with the newly conquered territory, the Kangxi emperor is reported to have told his officials: “Taiwan is no bigger than a ball of mud. We gain nothing by possessing it, and it would be no loss if we did not acquire it.” He favored abandoning Taiwan (after repatriating all the Chinese). Keeping the island would be an economic burden, a needless expenditure for what was considered a wild land of tattooed cannibals, dangerous terrain, and disease. Kangxi had – as did his predecessors – a continental mentality; his eyes were on expansion into Central Asia, not turned toward maritime horizons.
