Introduction

Taichung City, is the third largest city in Taiwan.
Taichung City’s executive branch is headed by a strong-mayor, Jason Hu.
Taichung City Government's Seventh Redevelopment Zone center exceeded NT$1 million per ping (36 square feet) and reached NT$1,285,000. This was a landmark towards establishing the new luxury real estate trend.
Today, Taichung City is well-known for its various shopping districts.
As investors and potential investors consider the city's overall qualities at present, they also consider it's very important to understand future development as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The change of city center

Taichung’s old city center is near by taichung railway station
And there is an moving plane now, government try moving city hall and another government organization to 7th redevelopment Zone.
Because of old city center is crowded and no developed space, we can say the old one is dead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Taichung City want to become a laeger City than before, it has to move the city center

Thus the government find 7th Redevelopment Zone to construct their no City Hall, and other government organization.

Now Taichung’s City center is still in the old one near by station, but it will change soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Living in the lap of luxury – 7th Redevelopment Zone

In the earlier days of city development, the National Museum of Natural Science and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts were connected by the green belt of JingGuo Parkway and were considered a high concentration of luxury residences.

Following the real estate boom of the past couple years, however, Taichung's business center has gradually moved to Xitun and Nantun districts.

As the city's new hub for political, commercial and economical facilities, many large-scale department stores have also been built or are planned for these areas.

Within this new special area original landscape designs and public construction projects have combined to create plenty of open space and the sites for a planned new city hall and metropolitan opera house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result, the Seventh Redevelopment Zone has become a competitive "battleground" for newly-built luxury mansions and apartments.
These new developments will also contribute to the attractiveness of this new cluster of grand residences.
Theses residences are often designed and planned by famous architects or landscape planners.
As for parking space, very few mechanical parking elevators--popular in so many local apartments--are found here.
With the progress of technology, newly-developed methods and material are used in construction.
Overall, the two most important attributes of these luxury residences are the provision of outstanding facilities and flawless public spaces, together with top-notch security systems.
Seventh Redevelopment Zone not only to satisfies the need for comfortable living, but also serves as a lasting symbol of status and position in society which can be cherished for many years to come.

是台灣人都該看看!!

扣除掉部分的政治意識，這不可說是頗中肯的作品，當對岸號稱是祖國的地方都來打壓我們時，我們憑啥在這內鬥!!

燃燒吧，鐵道男孩!!

身在台灣這個小島，鐵道對於每個人來說，一定不陌生，而我也是個鐵道迷(興趣可真多阿...)
說是迷，其實也讀過只是對鐵道世界略有興趣，以及小有研究而已，跟那些真正的強者們比，我只是小咖XD
所謂的強者的境界是啥?據了解，有部分鐵道神人把時刻表給背了起來，但被時刻表誰都嘛會，像我，沙鹿到員林的直達車依天有幾班我都知道，剩至哪個時段車較多我也很清楚阿，嘖嘖嘖，真正的高手，腦袋裡裝的是時刻總表阿!!就是那本寫滿各站開車時間及車種的總表阿~ 這個就厲害了吧XD
說這麼多，這樣的神人也不會是我XD
對於鐵道，我比較有興趣的是車站及其周邊小鎮的故事，原本一開始我也只是單純的迷戀火車本身，但不久，就發現，一台列車熟了，看來看去都是列車的性能諸元，或是它採用了啥先進的技術等，讓小弟我實在是有點受不暸阿；但隨著年紀的增長，慢慢的從一台列車開始去了解它的過去，過去的輝煌，過去的紀錄，進而理解這台列車背後的故事，在了解列車的過程裡，便接觸到車站這個鐵道世界裡不可或缺得元素，這也是一台列車和人們接觸的所在，也可以說，沒有車站就沒有這麼多精采的鐵道人文歷史~
台灣這個小島的火車種類之多，堪稱世界奇蹟。
最扯的是，我們的火車還是八國聯軍!!
真的是八國，舉個最簡單的例子
E1000 推拉式自強號

<---這台自強號，車頭由南非打造，車身是韓國...
