With the approach of the 20th century, Metropolitan Kaohsiung
has set off for the construction of the Mass Rapid Transit System's
red line and orange line. This stride will help connect Fenghsan's
three hundred-year-old culture, relics, and life style with those
of Metropolitan Kaohsiung. This public transportation system will
bring rebirth to Fenghsan and hence greatly promote its quality of
life, art and culture and in turn benefit its economic development.
With this transportation network to be completed and operated, Fenghsan
will be refreshed, more visitors will be attracted to Fenghsan for
a trip or a tour around the three hundred-year-old relics, and what'
more, its 300,000 citizens will be benefited and thus are able to
live a more fulfilled and prosperous life. |
