A VINTAGE ORIGINAL APPROXIMATE 7 5/8 X9 1/2 INCH PHOTO BY HARRISON WRIGHT OF TAIPEI, TAIWAN FROM 1960 DEPICING CANDIDATES IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONSThe 3rd President and Vice President election of the Republic of China was held in Taiwan on March 21, 1960 at the Zhongshan Hall in Taipei. Incumbent President Chiang Kai-shek and Vice-President Chen Cheng was re-elected by the members of the National Assembly of the Republic of China.Before the election, the National Assembly amended the Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion which allowed the President and Vice-President to seek for third term, which was barred by the Article 47 of the Constitution of the Republic of China, in order to make way for Chiang to be re-elected.[1] As a result, Chiang received 1,481 votes of the 1,576 National Assembly members, while his running mate Chen Cheng was re-elected with 1,381 votes.Vote summary Party Candidate Votes Percentage Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek 1,481 93.93% Invalid votes 95 6.03% Total 1,576 100.00%Taipei (/ˌtaɪˈpeɪ/[4]), officially Taipei City,[I] is the capital (de facto) and a special municipality of Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, "ROC"). Located in northern Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. Most of the city is located in the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.[5]The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,646,204 (2019),[6] forming the core part of the Taipei--Keelung metropolitan area, which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 7,047,559,[6][7] the 40th most-populous urban area in the world--roughly one-third of Taiwanese citizens live in the metro district. The name "Taipei" can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.Taipei is the political, economic, educational, and cultural center of Taiwan and one of the major hubs in East Asia. Considered to be a global city and rated as an Alpha City by GaWC,[8] Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area.[9] Railways, highways, airports, and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports -- Songshan and Taoyuan. Taipei is home to various world-famous architectural or cultural landmarks, which include Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, Hsing Tian Kong, Lungshan Temple of Manka, National Palace Museum, Presidential Office Building, Taipei Guest House, Ximending, and several night markets dispersed throughout the city. Natural features such as Maokong, Yangmingshan, and hot springs are also well known to international visitors.In English-language news reports the name Taipei often serves as a synecdoche referring to central government of Taiwan. Due to the ambiguous political status of Taiwan internationally, the term Chinese Taipei is also frequently pressed into service as a synonym for the entire country, as when Taiwan's governmental representatives participate in international organizations or Taiwan's athletes participate in international sporting events.Contents 1 Name 2 History 2.1 First settlements 2.2 Japanese rule 2.3 Post-war 3 Geography 3.1 Climate 3.2 Air quality 4 Cityscape 5 Demographics 6 Economy 7 Culture 7.1 Tourism 7.1.1 Commemorative sites and museums 7.1.2 Taipei 101 7.1.3 Performing arts 7.1.4 Shopping and recreation 7.1.5 Temples 7.2 Festivals and events 7.3 Taipei in films 8 Government 8.1 Garbage recycling 8.2 Administrative divisions 8.3 City planning 9 Transportation 9.1 Metro 9.2 Rail 9.3 Bus 9.4 Airports 9.5 Ticketing 10 Education 10.1 Notable Mandarin language programs for foreigners 11 Sports 11.1 Major sporting events 11.2 Youth baseball 12 Media 12.1 Television 12.2 Newspapers 13 International relations 13.1 Twin towns and sister cities 13.2 Partner cities 13.3 Friendship cities... read more
