Changhua County

There was an incident in Yuanlin in November 1946.

And at that time, Yuanlin was not part of Zhanghua County as it is today.

It was the county capital of Taichung County.

So Taichung County, not Zhanghua.

The earthquake was centered some one hundred and thirty-six kilometers east of Hualien County Hall at a depth of thirteen kilometers.

It was felt strongest in parts of Hualien, Yilan, Chiayi County, Changhua, and Yunlin, where it measured a two on the Weather Administration's intensity scale.

According to the Weather Administration's Seismological Center, the quake was caused by the Philippine Sea plate moving beneath the Eurasian plate, and possible aftershocks could reach a magnitude of five.

Israel has suspended all Flydubai flights and launched a multi-agency investigation involving Mossad, Shin Bet, and the military after a co-pilot on a Tel Aviv-bound flight allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft.

Black jade contains trace elements that makes it naturally magnetic.

A couple in Zhanghua's He Mei specializes in collecting the precious stone to craft into stylized teaware and religious items.

What's so special about Taiwan black jade is that it formed through absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon and tectonic shifts over billions of years.

Since the jade contains active magnetite, if you listen to its sound, it rings as clear as metal.

It is cilantro.

香菜有绿色的嫩叶,一小把就可以增添食物的香气。 Cilantro grows very well in 北斗 in 彰化.

About 70% of Taiwan's cilantro is from there.

It grows fast.

It is ready in 40 to 50 days.

Farmers can grow it all year.

大约70%的香菜都来自彰化北斗。 他们长得很快,一年四季都可以种。 Do you love cilantro? Or do you hate it? In Taiwan, many people love it.

People have put it on many Taiwanese foods for a long, long time.

It's common knowledge that you have to yield to emergency vehicles, but apparently some drivers didn't get the memo.

Not one, not two, but three scooters, two cars and a truck all failed to yield to an ambulance at an intersection in Zhanghua's Huatan township, despite that its siren was blaring and emergency lights were flashing.

The vehicles didn't stop and went on their merry way, cutting in front of the ambulance in a moment that felt like an eternity.

Let's hear more.
