  In the yards scattered around Kaohsiung harbor they still build junks for the fishing fleets that are direct, recognizable descendants of the ships that formed Cheng Ho’s armadas.

  A bus stop cuts a lonely figure against the landscape of Dongsha Island.

• 2020, “Kaohsiung Cross-Harbor Tunnel”, in Port of Kaohsiung, Taiwan International Ports Corporation, Ltd.‎^[13]:

  Due to geographic restrictions prior to 1983, the development of the Port of Kaohsiung was limited to the northeast bank of the fairway. The Chichin District, on the southwest bank, was largely sidestepped by construction of the No. 2 Entrance in 1969. The port reopened the Chung-Hsin Commercial Harbor Area as Container Terminal No. 4 in 1983 in order to facilitate equitable harbor development on both sides of the main fairway, improve overall utilization of port land, attract more container shipping business, and expand services available to shipping customers.
  To end Chichin’s isolation and increase the accessibility of all port land, a Cross-Harbor Tunnel was completed 3 years ahead of the completion of the Container Terminal No. 4 project. The tunnel was designed to serve the needs of both container traffic and Chichin District residents.
