Q1: There are many
different kinds of landforms here in Wu-Wei-Gan. Would you
please briefly introduce them to us?
A1: Here in Wu-Wei-Gan, you can see sand, forest land,
grassland, riverside, lake as well as the wetland. Due to
the effect of abrasion, the costal sand land is decreasing.
Yet in the other way, as the result of the seasonal wind and
the typhoon, the estuarine sand land is increasing.
Q2:We saw different kinds of plant on
our way here! Would you please introduce them to us?
A2
:You guys are certainly careful observers! It is true that
we have many different kinds of plants here. They are
generally divided into six big categories as the follows:
the secondary forest, the wind-break forest, the grass
fresh, the grassy marsh, the farming land, and the sand
dune.
Q3: I didn’t see any birds
on the way here though. What are the birds in Wu-Wei-Gan?
A3:Situated by the port, we often see many water birds here.
Due to the reason that Wu-Wei-Gan is near mountain areas,
we can also see some birds that live places of lower
altitude.
Q4:Did people here all live in
flagstone houses which we just visited?
A4:The inhabitants here in Wu-Wei-Gan make wide use of the
black flagstone in constructing houses. As we can
see from our visit, the drainage, the fence, the sidewalk
and almost everything are made of black flagstone, for it is
an easily obtained material from the seashore. Besides this
reason, residents here use them as constructing material
because they are hard and firm. Compared them with
grass-made huts, they could reduce the damage caused by
natural disasters and the enemies. Flagstones are long
lasting. Here in the village, we can still see flagstone
houses that were built a hundred year ago.
Q5:We heard that there is "the flying
fish season" here. Would you please give us more details?
A5:The seacoast is the northeast Taiwan is a very important
fishing ground, where the black stream attracts rich fish
group. As a result, most of the inhabitants here make a
living by fishing. Back in the time, fishermen in Wu-Wei-Gan
catch a large quantity of flying fish simply with the
assistance of their small fishing boats. Now, as the fishing
industry developed and the fishing equipment improved
fishermen no longer catch fish in the traditional way as
they did in their small fishing boats before
