One of the first areas developed in Taiwan, Chiayi still bears the signs of the dedication of past generations and a glorious history. The world-renowned Ali Shan (Mt. Ali), narrow gauge Taiwan forest railway, historical streets, salt flats of Putai, broad sugar cane fields, the fresh seafood of Tungshih Harbor, and the color of local dragon boat races are just some of the highlights of Chiayi’s forestry, agriculture, fishery, salt mining and old city cultures. In this fertile environment, poetry, calligraphy, folk art and handicraft lend Chiayi an unmistakable cultural flavor. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) In 1895, military defeat forced China to cede Taiwan to Japan. Taiwan reverted to Chinese control after World War II. Following the Communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government using the 1946 constitution drawn up for all of China. Over the next five decades, the ruling authorities gradually democratized and incorporated the native population within the governing structure. In 2000, Taiwan underwent its first peaceful transfer of power from the Nationalist to the Democratic Progressive Party. Throughout this period, the island prospered and became one of East Asia's economic "Tigers." The dominant political issues continue to be the relationship between Taiwan and China - specifically the question of eventual unification - as well as domestic political and economic reform..
