Longgui Park

Longgui Park is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Longgui Park rather than just read about it. In short: Longgui Park (traditional Chinese: 隆貴公園; simplified Chinese: 隆贵公园; pinyin: Lóngguì Gōngyuán) is a park in Guangfu Village (Chinese: 光復里), Magong City, Penghu County, Taiwan. It is a small community park of 380 hectares (940 acres) and was founded on July 20, 2001 by Lai Feng-wei, the magistrate of Penghu.

Key takeaways

Longgui Park belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Longgui Park to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Longgui Park from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Longgui Park (traditional Chinese: 隆貴公園; simplified Chinese: 隆贵公园; pinyin: Lóngguì Gōngyuán) is a park in Guangfu Village (Chinese: 光復里), Magong City, Penghu County, Taiwan. It is a small community park of 380 hectares (940 acres) and was founded on July 20, 2001 by Lai Feng-wei, the magistrate of Penghu. In 2018, the Penghu County Government planned to spend NTD 25,820,000 to demolish the park for a new road, which triggered a protest by several of local residents.

History Longgui Park is located in Guangfu village, Magong City, next to an abandoned power plant. It was completed on July 20, 2001 and cost NTD 880,000. It was named after Deng Long-gui (Chinese: 鄧隆貴) who contributed to the construction of the park. Longgui Park is one of few community parks in downtown Magong, and it is also a friendly shelter to feral cats.

Road Dispute

Background During the period of magistrate Wang Chien-fa's term (2005-2014), county council member Chen Hai-shan (Chinese: 陳海山) proposed to open a new road from Xincun Road (Chinese: 新村路) to Haipu Road (Chinese: 海埔路), running through Longgui Park and the nearby abandoned Taiwan Power Company power station. In 2015, Ou Zhi-cheng (Chinese: 歐致誠), the Penghu power station plant manager, proposed preservation of the power station buildings. Chen Hai-shan rejected this, saying "There is not any reason to preserve Magong power station because I cannot tell any kind feature of it." He insisted on demolishing the plant and Longgui Park for construction of the new road. Penghu County Government and Taiwan Power Company negotiated that the company would release the land on November 8, 2016. In early October 2017, county executive Chen Kuang-fu (Chinese: 陳光復) promised that "The project of opening a road from Xincun Road to Haipu Road" must begin the next March. However, by June 2018 the project had not started. County council member Chen Hai-shan asked Hsueh Hung-ying (Chinese: 薛宏營, the director of Penghu county government economic affairs department) to execute the project as soon as possible. "If county council could agree to afford the advance payment (NTD 25,820,000), we might start the construction in August." Hsueh replied. Chen Hai-shan promised Hsueh the advance payment would be approved in the session, but if it didn't, construction should still start. "We'll see about that!" Chen Hai-shan threatened.

Protests Local politician Sheng Yi-che (Chinese: 冼義哲) and residents from Guangfu village staged a protest of the project on July 31, 2018. They held a press conference and declared their dissatisfaction to the Penghu County Government. They reasoned that Baichen Street (Chinese: 北辰街) already connects Xinsheng Road (Chinese: 新生路) with the Haipu Road (Chinese: 海埔路), is 14-metre (46 ft) wide and is just 120 metres (390 ft) from Xincun Road (Chinese: 新村路). "This project is very ridiculous and unacceptable! It is unnecessary to spend about 2,600 million dollars destroying a community park and an abandoned plant just for expand Xincun Road!" Said by Sheng Yi-che. "It is nonsense! We won't execute this project on August 15" replied Lin Wen-zao (Chinese: 林文藻), the vice manager of the county government economic affairs department. On August 7, 2018, Penghu County Government announced Lu Chun-tian (Chinese: 盧春田) would replace Hsueh Hung-ying as the manager of Penghu county government economic affairs department.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Longgui Park

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Longgui Park claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, 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 Longgui Park 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 Longgui Park 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 Longgui Park

In research: Longgui Park appears in engineering 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 Longgui Park 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: Longgui Park is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2001 establishments in Taiwan, Buildings and structures completed in 2001, Parks established in the 2000s, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Longgui Park 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.
