For those crazy about commercial airplanes, being able to watch airplanes taking off and landing at close range is the most enjoyable thing. There are many well-known plane-watching sites near Taoyuan International Airport and Taipei Songshan Airport. Not only Taiwanese love to go there, Japanese people also travel all the way to these sites to shoot airplane photos.
The most famous plane-watching location near Songshan Airport is Lane 180 of Binjiang Street, which is close to the threshold of runway 10. This is the place to feel the thrill of airplanes landing above and close to your head. It is also the place to enjoy at a short distance the instants when planes’ tires grate against the runway and produce smoke.
Another location where aircraft fans love to go to photograph airplanes is the fifth-floor roof of the Taipei Produce Market on Minzu East Road. The advantage of this location is that airplanes and the Grand Hotel can be photographed together. It also allows photographers to capture images of airplanes flying parallel to the freeway. This location can also get very crowded on holidays.

對喜歡民航機的人來說,能近距離觀看噴射客機起降是再幸福不過的事。桃園國際機場與台北松山機場周邊,有不少知名賞機點,不僅台灣人愛來,連日本人都特地來台拍攝。
在松山機場周邊,最著名的賞機點就是位於10跑道頭的濱江街180巷。在這裡,可以感受飛機降落前機體壓頂的快感,也可以近距離欣賞到飛機降落時、輪胎與地面接觸摩擦產生煙霧的瞬間。
另一個航空迷聚集拍攝飛機的景點,就是民族東路上的台北果菜市場5樓平台。這裡拍攝飛機的好處,是可以將飛機與台北圓山飯店一同入鏡,也可以捕捉到飛機與高速公路平行的畫面。假日同樣人滿為患。

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
