Located in the northwest of Yilan County, Taiwan, China, Sanshing is a famous hot spring township and leisure agriculture demonstration area. Located at the junction of the Lanyang Plain and the Xueshan Mountain Range, the area is famous throughout Taiwan for its Sanshing green onions, Shanggong pears and Yinliu agricultural products. The local area boasts natural landscapes such as the Anong Creek Flood Dividing Weir Scenic Area and Changpi Lake, while retaining a strong tradition of Atayal culture. The annual Onion Pancake Festival and Silver Willow Festival attract a large number of tourists, making it an important agricultural tourism destination in the Yilan area.
Sanshing Township is bordered by Luodong Township to the east and Datong Township to the west, and is named after the confluence of three major tributaries of the upper reaches of the Lanyang River. The local hot springs are rich in resources and the water quality is sodium bicarbonate spring, and the neighboring lodges and hot spring clubs form a complete leisure industry chain. The Anong Creek watershed offers canoeing activities, while the Tianshepi Railway Cultural Park preserves the remains of the forestry railroad from the Japanese rule period, showcasing a unique historical and humanistic landscape.
Alpine is a small unincorporated community in Monroe County, Mississippi, United States, located in the southeastern part of the county. The community is located in the hills of northeastern Mississippi, about 20 kilometers from the county seat of Aberdeen, adjacent to the Tombigbee River watershed. The name "Alpine" (meaning "high mountain") is derived from the relatively rolling topography of the area, but is not related to actual elevation.
Alpine was settled in the mid-19th century with the development of the railroad, and was once economically based on lumbering and agriculture. According to the U.S. Census, the community's population has remained in the hundreds, making it a typical rural settlement. The community is predominantly white and retains some historic buildings dating from the late 1800s, reflecting the traditional character of rural Mississippi.
Alpine is surrounded by predominantly forested and farmland with beautiful natural landscapes, but lacks large-scale industries. The economy relies primarily on agricultural farming (e.g., soybeans, cotton) and a small amount of livestock. The community's infrastructure is relatively basic, with connections to neighboring towns via Interstate 82. In recent years, parts of the area have begun to develop recreational fishing and other outdoor tourism activities due to its proximity to the waters of the Tombigbee River.
As an unincorporated community, Alpine's public services are centrally managed by Monroe County. The area retains a strong southern rural cultural identity and participates in traditional events such as the annual county-sponsored agricultural fair. Due to its sparse population, there are no independent commercial centers in the community, and residents need to travel to neighboring towns such as Aberdeen or Amory for their daily shopping.
