Tree Planting
Koelreuteria paniculata is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae, native to eastern Asia, in China and Korea. Common names include goldenrain tree, pride of India, China tree, or varnish tree. It is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 7 m (23 ft) tall, with a broad, dome-shaped crown. The leaves are pinnate, 15–40 cm (6–16 in) long, rarely to 50 cm (20 in), with 7-15 leaflets 3–8 cm long, with a deeply serrated margin; the larger leaflets at the midpoint of the leaf are sometimes themselves pinnate but the leaves are not consistently fully bipinnate as in the related Koelreuteria bipinnata. The flowers are yellow, with four petals, growing in large terminal panicles 20– 40 cm (8–16 in) long. The fruit is a three-parted inflated bladderlike pod 3– 6 cm long and 2–4 cm broad, green ripening orange to pink in autumn, containing several dark brown to black seeds 5–8 mm diameter. There are two varieties: K. paniculata var. paniculata. Northern China and Korea. Leaves singlepinnate. K. paniculata var. apiculata (Rehder & E.H.Wilson) Rehder (syn. K. apiculata). Western China (Sichuan), intergrading with var. paniculata in central China. Leaves with larger leaflets commonly bipinnate. It is popularly grown as an ornamental tree in temperate regions all across the world because of the aesthetic appeal of its flowers, leaves and seed pods. Several cultivars have been selected for garden planting, including 'Fastigiata' with a narrow crown, and 'September Gold', flowering in late summer. The seeds are edible when roasted, but not commonly consumed.

WED MOVIE FESTIVAL Director：Peter Young
Writers：Richard Langston, Peter Young Starring：Dave Dobbyn Country：New Zealand Release Date：2013 / 4 / 26 Synopsis： The Last Ocean The Ross Sea, Antarctica is the most pristine stretch of ocean on Earth. A vast, frozen landscape that teems with life - whales, seals and penguins carving out a place on the very edge of existence. Californian ecologist David Ainley has been traveling to the Ross Sea to study this unique ecosystem for more than thirty years. He has written scientific papers describing it as a 'living laboratory'. Largely untouched by humans, it is one of the last places where the delicate balance of nature prevails. But an international fishing fleet has recently found its way to the Ross Sea. It is targeting Antarctic toothfish, sold as Chilean Seabass in up-market restaurants around the world. The catch is so lucrative it is known as white gold. Ainley knows that unless fishing is stopped the natural balance of the Ross Sea will be lost forever. He rallies his fellow scientists and meets up with a Colorado nature photographer and New Zealand filmmaker who also share a deep passion for this pristine corner of the world. All want to stop fishing and protect this last pristine ecosystem. Together they form 'the Last Ocean' and begin a campaign taking on the commercial fishers and governments in a race to protect Earth's last untouched ocean from our insatiable appetite for fish.

Fo Guang Shan
Fo Guang Shan (literally "Buddha's Light Mountain") is an international Chinese Mahayana Buddhist monastic order based in the Republic of China (Taiwan), and one of the largest Buddhist organizations. The headquarters of Fo Guang Shan, located in Kaohsiung, is the largest Buddhist monastery in Taiwan. The organization itself is also one of the largest charity organizations in Taiwan. The order also calls itself the International Buddhist Progress Society. History In 1967, Hsing Yun purchased more than 30 hectares in Dashu Township, KaohsiungCounty as the site for the construction of a monastery. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 16 May 1967. Fo Guang Shan embarked on many construction projects, including university buildings, shrines, and a cemetery. In 1975, Fo Guang Shan's 36-metre tall statue of Amitabha Buddha was consecrated. In 1981, 15 years after its establishment, the Great Hero Hall was built. During these times, many other Fo Guang Shan temples outside the order's mother monastery were also built. Buddha Memorial Center When Reverend Master Hsing Yun held the Bodhgaya International Full Ordination in India in 1998, he came to the attention a Tibetan lama who had been protecting a tooth relic of the Buddha since the destruction of Namgyal Monastery in Tibet during the Cultural Revolution. The relic has been authenticated by several Tibetan rinpoches, who advised Kunga Dorje Rinpoche to build a stupa to house it so that the public could pay their respects and make offerings. Since he was unable to do so due to old age, he and his advisors reached the consensus to donate the tooth relic to Hsing Yun. The relic was officially escorted to Taiwan on April 8, 1998. Building plans for the Buddha Memorial Center started immediately. The site is situated immediately adjacent to the main monastery and covers more than 100 hectares. The complex faces east and is built along a central axial line. Beyond the Welcoming Hall are eight Chinese-styled pagodas on either side of the main avenue leading up to the Bodhi Square, about which are statues of the Buddha's main disciples and of the founders of the principal schools of Chinese Buddhism.
Kao Hsiung City Facing Taiwan Strait on the west and Bashi Channel on the south, Kaohsiung is a beautiful and modern metropolis located in southern Taiwan as well as the second largest city of this island. Looking down from an airplane, one will see the abundant landscapes of Kaohsiung: the lush Chai Mountain and Banping Mountain, the clear and serene Lotus Pond, and Love River flowing across the city. This subtropical city boasts its brilliant sunshine and gentle breeze from the passionate sea. Sitting between Cijin Island and downtown, Port of Kaohsiung is theworldclass port in Taiwan as well as a hub for international trade. The ceaseless ships and containers from around the world represent the energy and vitality of the business in Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung, a city of glamour, not only has unique features of mountain, sea, river, and port, but also possesses a rich culture and beautiful cityscape. The city sincerely welcomes your visit.

Jhouzai Wetland http://wetland-tw.tcd.gov.tw/WetLandWeb/web-en/wetlandn0034.html Boundaries: The wetland is situated at the Lianchih Pond area. It extends north to the Tsuweihwa Road interchange of Provincial Highway 10, south to the Kaohsiung City Scenic Area Administrative Center; east to Tsuwihwa Road, and west to Funtan Road, next to the Lianchih Pond. Introduction: The wetland was originally designated in the city plan as Tsoying #1 Park or TsoPark 1. Subsequently, it was intended to become a Center for Traditional Arts and Crafts by the city planner, but this did not materialize due to funding shortage. During Mayor Hsih's tenure (1998-2004), he accepted the suggestion of local environmentalists to keep the wetland's environment and establish a wetland park to restore the landscape of reservoirs in the Tsoying area. The wetland contains many floating plants such as Water Chestnuts, Water Snowflake, and Sleeping Water Lilies, which are a favorite of Pheasant-tailed Jacanas. Bio-diversity in this micro environment is enhanced by emerging plants such as Cattail and Common Reed, which provide hiding places and shelters for jacanas. Currently, the wetland is adopted and managed by Wetlands Taiwan.
