In a poll that asked voters to select the ten most attractive stretches of water, Keelung’s Waimushan Beach came out on top among 21 other locations and won first place with 3,840 votes.
Waimushan boasts a unique coastline that consists of a string of sandy and rocky coasts. A five-kilometer coastal road runs from the Waimushan Fishing Harbor to Aoditeng Village. On one side is an immense ocean view, with reef rocks that have long endured erosion by the waves and are of a variety of unique forms and shapes. On the other side stand towering cliffs.
Along the coastline, as the sea melts into the sky, the evening glow tinged with rosy hues is a feast for the eyes. Looking afar toward the Keelung Islet, a passer-by can see big boats sailing into the harbor. A casual walk at night is usually accompanied by the hymn of the ocean and the sparkling lamp lights from the fishing village; a soothing experience for a mortal soul.

By making useful but idle resources accessible, the sharing economy turns them into sustainable opportunities. Internationally, platforms like Airbnb and Uber have popularized
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Many people may be familiar with flapjack octopuses thanks to Pearl, a charming character from the Pixar film Finding Nemo. However, her portrayal presents several scientific inaccuracies. In reality, flapjack octopuses are deep-sea creatures, which are unsuitable for the brightly lit shallow reef environment depicted in the film. Their primary defense mechanism relies on their reddish coloration, which would be ineffective in the well-lit shallows. Pearl’s famous line, “You guys made me ink,” is another fictional detail that is not consistent with the observed actions of real flapjack octopuses. As common as it is in many other octopus
