A picture showing how police in Jiji Township, Nantou County, are fighting speeding along Provincial Highway 16 has been popular on a Facebook group recently. The picture details the fixed and mobile speed controls along the road, and Internet users have praised the picture for being very “professional,” saying that posting it is “a good deed.” In less than one day, over 200 people liked the photo, which was widely shared. The police says the locations showed on the picture are mostly correct, and that if the picture will make drivers pay attention and slow down, that would be a good thing, adding that they will not get further involved in the issue.
The picture was posted by Internet user Lin Tung-tung in the group “I am from Nantou, and I am also from Shuili.” The picture shows all the fixed speed cameras and mobile speed controls along Provincial Highway 16. Not only does it clearly show the road section’s kilometer mark, it also specifies if the controls work in both directions or one way only and if the speed control is mounted on a tripod or is hand-held.

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
