Makung is on the western part of the main Pescadores island. The earliest temple in the country to the goddess Matsu is found on Makung. Makung is therefore also known as "Magong Ao" (??? or originally, ???), or "Matsu Palace Seaport". The first character of the name was changed from "mother" (?, m?) to "horse" (?, m?) in 1920 under the Japanese Occupation. There had been proposal from the Executive Yuan to revert the character, but there was little support. It contains a domestic Makung Airport. (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..
