Those are some loaded terms there - often the KMT, in a bid to legitimize the idea that Taiwan has always been Chinese and must therefore be Chinese (as in, a part of China) as soon as politically possible, refers to the "Japanese Colonial Period" (the true term, as Jenna Lynn Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032277820150000198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321329750397667796.post-27178585467466122732014-07-10T13:55:45.328+08:002014-07-10T13:55:45.328+08:00it was the name of a military airstrip used by the...it was the name of a military airstrip used by the Japanese during their occupation of TaiwanJason30316https://www.blogger.com/profile/10543581317304514577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321329750397667796.post-4539773122383809122009-07-03T08:33:03.923+08:002009-07-03T08:33:03.923+08:00Exactly - and Longshan Temple really isn't tha...Exactly - and Longshan Temple really isn't that much closer despite what the map may say (we've walked it). I think the only answer is that there is no really close MRT.<br /><br />Anyway the name of the place isn't "jia tsui tia", it's "jia tsou dia" - my own bad Romanization.
