Reference excerpt

The Guang Hua Digital Plaza (Chinese: 光華數位新天地 or 光華商場) is a six-story, indoor technological and electronics market located in Taipei, Taiwan. It is located at the intersection of Xinsheng North Road (新生北路) and Civic Boulevard (市民大道), at the border between Zhongzheng and Da'an districts. The building consists of six stories above ground and one story below ground. The first story above ground is an exhibition space for electronic products. The second and third stories are the new locations for the 196 vendors of the original Guang Hua Market. The fourth and fifth stories are the new locations for the vendors of Xining Guozhai Electronics Market. The sixth floor is reserved for repair shops, education classes, and offices. The basement floor is parking. The market attracts tens of thousands of visitors each day. It is accessible from the Guanghua Bazaar bus stop and the MRT Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station. The surrounding area and streets are also full of shops selling electronics. Large companies, including Microsoft and Intel, regularly unveil products at Guang Hua Digital Plaza.

History

Guang Hua Market was established by the Taipei City Government in April 1973 as a retailer market, using the space beneath the old Guanghua Bridge. Originally, the market specialized in old books, giving it the nickname "old books street" (舊書街). Within a decade, however, electronics retailers gained presence in the market and surrounding streets. Due to underground railroad construction in 1992, Guang Hua Market was moved to an underground location at the corner of Bade Road and Xinsheng South Road. By this time, the area became known for electronics, with many new stores opening, and the establishment of other electronic markets such as the International Electronics Market (國際電子廣場), Contemporary Life Market (現代生活廣場), and Sanpu Market (三普廣場). In 2006 due to the demolition of the Guanghua Bridge, Guang Hua Market was moved to a temporary location at the corner of Jinshan North Road and Civic Boulevard. The temporary building consisted of five warehouse-like halls, providing a total of 196 retail stores. Not soon after market moved into its temporary location, construction began on the current six-story Guang Hua Digital Plaza building, which has been its current location since July 2008.

Nearby development In 2010, the Taipei municipal government sought bids to build a new mall on the parking lots around Guang Hua Plaza. The city announced that the building should be located at the intersection of Civic Boulevard and Jinshan South Road, have a total of 21 floors (15 aboveground, six below); and occupy a total floor space of 2678 ping, or 8,850 square metres (95,300 sq ft). The park will also include hotel rooms, offices, and restaurants. On April 27, 2010, the build-operate-transfer (BOT) project was awarded to the Hon Hai Group, beating out four other bidders. The new building opened in May 2015 as Syntrend Creative Park, featuring a technology exhibition center, digital entertainment zone, and business cultivation center.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Guang Hua Digital Plaza

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Guang Hua Digital Plaza claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Guang Hua Digital Plaza before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Guang Hua Digital Plaza ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Guang Hua Digital Plaza

In research: Guang Hua Digital Plaza appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Guang Hua Digital Plaza in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Guang Hua Digital Plaza is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1973 establishments in Taiwan, Electronics districts, Retail markets in Taiwan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Guang Hua Digital Plaza outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
