Bade District is located in the northwestern part of Taoyuan City, Taiwan, and is one of the most important administrative districts in Taoyuan City. Originally known as "Badeh Chu", the district was reorganized as a county municipality in 1995 due to population growth, and was renamed to its current name in 2014 when Taoyuan County was elevated to the status of a municipality. With an area of 33.71 square kilometers and a population of over 200,000, it is a densely populated metropolitan area in Northern Taiwan.
Bade District is located in the Taoyuan Tableland, adjacent to the core areas of Taoyuan District and Jhongli District. The transportation network is well-developed, including National Highway No. 2, Provincial Highway No. 4 and other major arteries, and it is about a 20-minute drive from the Taoyuan International Airport, providing both metropolitan convenience and living functions.
Manufacturing is the main industry in the area, including electronics, machinery and food processing. Famous landmarks include the Bade Hingren Garden Night Market and Pi Tong Ecological Park, etc. Meanwhile, it retains the traditional triad architecture of southern Fujian, demonstrating the coexistence of humanity and nature. In recent years, due to the construction of the MRT Green Line, it has become a key development area in Taoyuan.
Hama is an important city in western Syria, located on the banks of the Orontes River and is the capital of Hama Province. Dating back to the Bronze Age, the historic city was known in ancient times as "Hamat" and was once a trading hub on the Silk Road. Famous for its spectacular Norias waterwheels, these 2,000-year-old wooden waterwheels are a symbol of Hama and were declared a World Heritage Site in 2011. Historically, Hama was a fusion of Assyrian, Roman and Arab civilizations, and boasts monuments such as the Great Mosque. An agricultural center that produces cotton, olives, and grains, Hama is rebuilding itself to its former vitality after the 2011 Syrian crisis, which saw intense conflict and damage to the city's facilities.
