Pingtung County

So this story is definitely about someone with that luck and resources and what the family did together to utilize those privileges.

Yeah, so he ends up in Pingtung, and that's where he started working.

And immediately, this is from my own grandfather, he told me before bedtime.

He always told me that he fell in love with Taiwan immediately, mainly for the peace.

People in vehicles had to evacuate to the shore.

This is the Makulikuli, a river where Taitung's Daren Township meets Pingtung County, and also the north entrance to the Alyang Gich Historic Trail.

Normally, the creek has calm and level waters, but with the northeast monsoon and high tide, the seawater has begun to flow upstream.

During the northeast monsoon, there will be high tides, and so all of this is seawater that's flowed in.

It's easy to forget things when you're in a rush.

One man in Pingtung sir named Chang was so eager to get to work that he accidentally left a bundle of 200-thousand NT in cash on top of his car and drove away.

He didn't realize the money was missing until he was already on the freeway.

Let's hear more.

Choi and the One Song Orchestra are performing for audiences across Taiwan and Europe, connecting people across cultures through music.

A school in Pingtung has transformed into a picture-perfect destination thanks to its brand new sports field.

Shanhai Elementary School in Hengchun has a new completed running track with a striking lavender-purple service that has been a hit with students and faculty.

The old sports field was covered in red dirt, kicking up clouds of dust on sunny days and turning wet and sticky whenever it rained.

And she's growing up in a mainlander military dependence village.

Not sure where, southern Taiwan somewhere, maybe Pingdong or Tainan.

Her family weren't rich.

They'd fled to Taiwan and their life savings tied up in some gold bars, only to have them all stolen one night.

At times, cars can leak gasoline which would have set off an explosion from the fireworks.

The location was a parking lot in Pingdong City, where locals had parked their cars.

Seeing the fireworks, many were left fearing that fireworks would hit them, or damage their cars.

The reckless men shot fireworks at each other too, without any protective gear, as if they were adrenaline junkies.

I, I am trying to figure out where in southern Taiwan or possibly over in Taitung that I would like to live more longer term.

You know, maybe fur- in the deep south, Chiayi, Pingtung, toward the, toward the east coast.

Uh, I mean, not toward the east coast, but toward the eastern side of the plains where the big mountains really start.

That, that, that would be a really interesting area to live in too.

Xiongfeng-3 missile accurately hit its target.

Taiwan's armed forces conducted joint precision missile live-fire drills, which President Lai Ching-de personally oversaw at the Jiupeng base in Pingtung County.

During the drills, Xiongfeng-3, Xiongfeng-2, and HIMARS anti-ship missiles were launched in turn, all accurately hitting their targets.

In addition to traditional missile firepower, multiple drones, including the switchblade, were also deployed in the exercise to attack maritime targets, demonstrating the armed forces' joint strike capability by combining precision firepower with unmanned vehicles.
