Sanxing

Sanxing ( Chinese  三星 鄉 , Pinyin Sānxīng Xiāng , Tongyong Pinyin Sansing Siang ) is a rural community in the northeastern district of Yilan in the Republic of China on Taiwan .

location

Sanxing is located in the northern section of Yilan County, largely on the Lanyang River Plain . The natural northern boundary is formed by the Lanyang River. The Sanxing area has roughly the shape of a spindle, the longitudinal axis of which is oriented to the east-north-east. The maximum longitudinal extent (in an east-northeast direction) is around 21 kilometers and the maximum transverse extent (in a north-north-west direction) around 7 kilometers. The neighboring communities are Datong in the east and southeast, Dongshan in the south, Luodong and Wujie in the west (each over a short section) and Yuanshan in the north.

history

The permanent Han- Chinese settlement history in Sanxing began in 1796, in the first year of Jiaqing's rule , when several settler families settled here. The native inhabitants of the area, Austronesian tribes from the Kavalan people , were partly Sinised under the increasing settlement pressure of the rapidly increasing numbers of immigrants and partly pushed to the west into the mountains and to the south. At the time of Japanese rule (1895-1945) several administrative reforms took place until 1920, the village of Sanxing ( 三星 庄 ) in the Luodong District ( 羅 東郡 ) in the Taihoku Prefecture ( 台北 州 ) was formed. During the Japanese period, the Taipingshan Forest Railway , a narrow-gauge forest railway, was built to use the forest and bamboo resources in the area of ​​today's Datong . Its route ran through Sanxing on the south bank of the Lanyang. The railroad tracks were dismantled in 1980. The Yuanshan hydropower plant ( 圓 山 水力發電 所 , today officially 蘭 陽 發電廠 圓 山 機組  - "Yuanshan unit of the Lanyang power plant"), which was also built at the same time, was primarily used to power the local sugar factory. This promoted economic development and the population increased due to immigration. After the Republic of China took over Taiwan at the end of the Second World War, the Japanese administrative structure was essentially taken over. The village ( 庄 , Zhuāng ) became a rural community ( 鄉 , Xiāng ), the district ( 郡 , Jùn ) became a district ( 區 , Qū ) and the prefecture ( 州 , Zhōu ) became a district ( 縣 , Xiàn ). In 1950 the county level was abolished and Sanxing became a rural community in the newly established Yilan County. In 1976, an area north of the Lanyang River was ceded to the neighboring community of Yuanshan as Zhonghua Village .

Residents

Most of the residents are Hoklo, although the proportion of Hakka (who speak Minnan ) is relatively high at around 40%, which distinguishes Sanxing from other communities in Yilan. At the end of 2019 there were 551 indigenous peoples living in Jiaoxi, equivalent to around 2.6% of the population.

Nationally known special agricultural products from Sanxing are winter onions , garlic and “Admirals pears ” ( 上將 梨 ). Moreover, Salix argyracea drawn a willow, (more than 90% of the Taiwan's total production) whose branches during the Chinese New Year used.

There are two larger hydropower plants in the village of Tianshan, the Yuanshan hydropower plant ( 圓 山 水力發電 所 , commissioned in 1941, total capacity approx. 18 MW) and the Tiansongpi power plant ( 天 送 埤 發電廠 , commissioned in 1922, total capacity approx. 8.4 MW). Both are organized as sub-units of the Lanyang power plant ( 蘭 陽 發電廠 ). World icon World icon

traffic

The two most important road connections are the provincial road 7C (7 丙) and the district road 196, which runs a little further to the north and which joins the first-mentioned roughly in the middle of Sanxing. Both roads run along the longitudinal axis of Sanxing, ie essentially parallel to the course of the Lanyang.

particularities

The main attractions of Sanxing are in the area of ​​nature. Sanxing has two small lakes in scenic surroundings in the village of Tianshan, on the one hand the Changpi Lake ( 長 埤 湖 ), and on the other hand the nearby Jiuqiong Lake ( 九芎 湖 , Jiǔqiōng hú ). Along the Annong brook ( 安 農 溪 , Ānnóng Xī ), a small tributary of the Lanyang, bike tours or white water rides and boat trips are possible. In the Tiansongpi Railway Park ( 天 送 埤 鐵道 公園 ) in Tianfu Village, a former railway station of the former Taipingshan Forest Railway with a small narrow-gauge locomotive and railway facilities can be seen.
