I really think kaohsiung has the best skyline in taiwan.
anyway, just out of curiosity, is kaohisung's pollution problem as bad as taipei? bcz from the pics it seems the pollution isn't that bad.

From my experience Kaohsiung's pollution is on another level compared to Taipei's. Chalk it up to the massive amount of industry located in and around the city. Those pictures of Kaohsiung were no doubt taken between April-June, the air quality is the best at that time. Most of the time Kaohsiung's air is embarrassingly bad.

duabi

05-28-2005, 08:07 PM

Yeap...my first impression when I first went to Kaohsiung was the "Terminator movie style" heavy industry factories. It was very cool, but I can imagine how ppl living around the city suffer from that. Luckily, Kaohsiung is by the sea. On the other hand, Taipei's populated area is in the basin. The air pollution mainly from the cars and scooters is hard to disperse.

It is worse that sometimes sandstorm from Inner-Mongolia can reach Taiwan!
That's why sometimes I like Typhoons coming to Taiwan. They can really wash the smog away for a while.

Australiasian

05-29-2005, 05:42 AM

i saw an article sometime ago, highlighting the fact that 70% of the taiwan's air pollutions are actually from the mainland, carried over by the south-east wind.

anyway some more urban pictures i found on dcview.com

well why do you boycott korean products then?

i actually think south korea has much better local architectural talent than taiwan judging from the pics i see posted in the korea threads. and they've built so many skyscrapers. seoul's developed a pretty expansive skyline.

09-17-2005, 12:49 PM

I personally don't see anything wrong being a nationalist who supports purchasing its own country's goods. There are times when I would do the same as well (ex. my acer laptop).

In addition, I c competition from Korean as a good thing - a pre-staging period before facing the rising China! Ever since joining WTO, Taiwan now has to be more globalized IMO.

Australiasian

09-17-2005, 02:06 PM

many people would know that korea is a direct competitor of taiwan when comes to high-tech goods. therefore, it is really either us or them. if you purchase a ram chip from the koreans then there is one less ram chip sold from the taiwanese. it is as simple as that. nothing else. nothing personal. (i've heard of how hostile the korean government is towards taiwan in the world stage. but i don't blame them. i mean~ if you want to earn chinese yuen then that's what you'll need to do. i know who is responsible for it.)

there is only so much demand from the world market. just want to do my part to help the taiwanese firms. you can help too! :help:. having said that, at the end of the day it is really the quality of your goods that will determine the winners. at the moment, mega korean firms are doing well around the world. i think taiwanese firms are requiring a bit of help from the domestic market. not that domestic market is big enough to alter much...

The building was designed by the Internationally reknowned IM Pei's firm (which is now called Pei Cobb Freed & Parnters) :)

When I was young, I went to my parent's friends home in the area. There were some nice houses with a view like this.
I guess, this kind of view has been blocked by those new condos.

As kidd pointed out, LTH and his former groupies live next to the Dashi Resort in Taoyuan. If memory serves me correct, the balcony behind the lobby bar overlooks their homes.

Hey, that's where I resides :) The three pictures above actually shows the very West (first pic) and very East (second & third pic) side of 天母. Any pics of central 天母that intersects between 中山北路and 天母東﹐西路?

Since Warner Brothers Village moved in (the light blue building bottom center of the third pic), we no longer have to travel far to watch a movie!

Shopping here is already great, and probably one of the only things missing now is a MRT station (no, 石牌station isn't close enough) and something like a 錢櫃KTV nearby, although not directly in the hub of the suburb :yes:

Oh, the number of people that line up at Mister Donut is crazy... you can even pay students to line up for you if you don't have time...

One of my bosses even bought Mister Donut directly from Japan upon his return from a business trip to share with us :crazy: But I gave my share of donuts to my mum and sister, so I have yet to taste them to date despite its close proximity!

You could also buy Mister Donut in 維風廣場, and the waiting line there is almost equally as impressive :laugh:

I like how they light up the Tung-I building. From this angle, the building seem to have been imprinted with a shiny glowing CROSS, which fits in well with the panoramic night view of the Hsin Yi district!
