A rerun of "Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above" revisits the beauty and sorrow of Taiwan's landscapes

In the documentary "Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above," pollution in Kaohsiung’s Houjing River highlights the issue of wastewater discharge from the Everlight Electronics factory, while the proliferation of homestays and restaurants at Cingjing Farm underscores the problem of excessive hillside development. In photos and messages sent to friends during Chi Po-lin’s recent scouting trip to Qingshui Cliff, he revealed that the pit dug by Asia Cement for extracting mountain soil has grown larger than it was five years ago. Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the aerial perspectives in "Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above" capture heights and scenes rarely seen by the general public, offering a renewed appreciation for Taiwan’s beauty—but also revealing the damage inflicted upon its environment. Through this rebroadcast, both first-time viewers and those who have seen it before can be reminded once again to place greater importance on sustainable environmental development.
