Following the inauguration of the first half of an all-age-friendly accessible hiking trail in Hutoushan ecological park, the 400-meter-long second half of the trail is expected to be completed by the end of September. Combined, the two sections will form a 1km-long loop trail. On July 11, Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsang visited the park to inspect the construction. According to Cheng, in addition to the hiking trail, the government will build a car park, a storage room and toilets, while making sure there is stable phone reception in the park to increase the convenience for visitors.
Cheng says the park has three key features: a system of entertaining and healthy hiking trails, a unique natural landscape and public facilities. At present, the Taoyuan City Government is also carrying out a city rezoning project, which will turn the area of the Minglun Sansheng Temple into a designated area for religious use, and the unused space in front of the temple will become a parking lot. This way, visitors to the park can park their cars close by and the government can more easily regulate local vendors.
Yang Sheng-ping, director of Taoyuan City Government’s Department of Tourism, says a creative squirrel house, a tree house and a flower tunnel have been built along the hiking trail, adding that in the future the park will provide environmental education classes and tours to encourage visitors to learn to coexist with nature while enjoying the park.

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
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
