I. Survey and analysis of the current development site scenic beauty status
The wind farm is located off the coasts of Sihu Township and Kouhu Township, Yunlin County. Provincial Highways 17 and 61 (Western Coast Expressway) and County Roadways 155, 160, 164, and 166 are the main traffic access ways along the coast of Yunlin and Chiayi. Lands along the coastal area are mostly used by fish farms, fishing harbors, rivers, wetland, farmlands, and residential
6-313 Non binding translation homes. Townships are densely developed with frequent human activity and traffic.For The coastalconvenience area consists mostly of windbreak only forests, fish farms, wetlands, sand banks and fishing harbors. It offers abundant scenery resource in the form of natural environments, ecology, weather, and industry. Small settlements are scattered around the area but have relatively little human activity.
The wind farm of this project is over 8 km off the coast and involves sea cable and land cable constructions. The goal of this project is to promote the use of renewable energy, increase energy diversity, improve environmental quality, stimulate the related industries in nearby areas, and promote sustainable national development.
II. Establishing the area for evaluating the impact of development activities on scenic beauty
According to the Technical Specifications for Scenic Beauty Assessment of Environmental Impact Assessment (draft) of the Environmental Protection Administration, a scenic beauty assessment must be conducted for the development area plus a 1,200 meter radius. This development project, however, is about 8 km offshore and the area covered by a 1.2 km radius is still offshore. Hence, the area assessed for this project is the coastal area west of Provincial Highways 17 and 61, where the wind turbines can still be seen and may potentially affect surrounding residents and visitors, as shown in Figure 6.4.1- 1.
III. Landscape Resources Survey
The project site is located offshore of Yunlin County. Aside from agricultural settlements, surrounding areas mainly consist of large fish farms, oyster farms, and farmlands. Due to the low volume of artificial facilities, the area is rich with an ecological landscape of animals and plants, as well as the meteorological landscape of the setting sun, both simple scenery of coastal areas. Characteristics of scenery in the project area are described below:
(I) Key natural sceneries
1. Geographical landscapes
The coastal area of Yunlin and Chiayi contains large wetlands, windbreak forests, fish farms, and farmlands, and is adjacent to the Taiwan Strait to the west. The area is mainly formed by an alluvial plain, tidal land, and
6-314 Non binding translation offshore sand banks. The area is relatively flat with an average altitude Forbelow 10convenience m and mainly offers the scenery of a coastal only plain. The project area mainly has straight coastlines with sandy beaches; due to the interaction between wind, tide, and waves, the estuary sand accretion gradually rising outward, forming a natural tidal land or sand bank, including Boziliaoshan, Tongshanzhou, and Waisandingzhou. These form a semi-closed sea area with the island of Taiwan, forming a special geographic scenery in the area. Zhuoshui River, Xinhuwei River, Huwei River, Niutaowan River, and Beigang River are the main rivers passing through this area, which means that, along with the vast Taiwan Strait to the west, there are abundant hydrological resources.
Figure 6.4.1-1 Area surveyed for landscape of development activity
6-315 Non binding translation 2. Geological landscape ForThis area convenience is a coastal plain that is part of the Holocene only alluvium, which is mainly formed by sand, silty sand, and mud. The unconsolidated sediments are interlayered with marine deposits. Sand is mainly distributed in the river courses and estuaries, and offshore sand banks are mainly formed by medium to fine sand sediments from the late Holocene to present day. The soil is wind-deposited sediments, mostly sandy soil and sandy loam. The soil has high salinity due to seawater intrusion from the Taiwan Strait to the west. Overall, this area does not have any special geological scenery.
3. Sceneries of plants and animals
It is hard for vegetation to grow in the coastal area due to strong winds and the salinity of seawater. There are relatively diverse and dense vegetation in nearby campuses and communities. Otherwise, large plants are generally lacking, and the windbreak forest is mainly Casuarina equisetifolia.
Aogu Wetland is a coastal wetland that serves as a buffer zone between land and sea. The plant ecology is characterized by plants which are wind and drought resistance, psammophytes, halophytes, and mangrove. The windbreak forest is mainly Casuarina equisetifolia and Hibiscus tiliaceus. Psammophytes mainly include Ipomoea pes-caprae, Operculina turpethum, Canavalia rosea, Atriplex maximowicziana, and Phyla nodiflora. Halophytes mainly include Suaeda maritima, Sesuvium portulacastrum, Paspalum vaginatum, and Sporobolus virginicus. Mangrove mainly consists of Lumnitzera racemosa and Avicennia marina. There is a relative abundance of plant sceneries.
As for sceneries of animals, the continental shelf along the coastal area is flat with a gentle slope, and has abundant marine biology as it provides an ideal habitat for fish to reproduce. Species found on the tidal flat and wetlands have the most distinguishing features, in which the majority are birds and fish, while mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and butterflies are rare. The project area mainly consists of fish farms, most of which farm oysters, and only Egretta garzetta, Pycnonotus sinensis, and Acridotheres cristatellus are found in the area. Many wild birds gather near Xinhuwei River Estuary, which is a relatively sensitive habitat. A large wetland
6-316 Non binding translation formed between the estuaries of Niutaowan River and Beigang River due Forto the largeconvenience hinterland. Chenglung Wetland, Yiwu only Wetland, and Aogu Wetland have abundant fish, shrimp, and shellfish, making them suitable habitats for water birds. Dozens of species have been sighted in the wetlands, including Ciconia boyciana, Elanus caeruleus, Bubulcus ibis, Ixobrychus sinensis, Centropus bengalensis, Himantopus himantopus, Gallinula chloropus, Tachybaptus ruficollis, Alcedo atthis, Gallinago gallinago, and Rostratula benghalensis. These are important national wetlands, where bird watching areas and wetland ecological protected areas have been planned.
4. Visual scenery
Areas around the project site have relatively good landscape resources as they mainly contain natural landscape elements, such as sand banks, wetlands, ocean, animal and plant ecology, and sunsets, see Figure 6.4.1- 2 for photos of the current environment.
(II) Main artificial and cultural scenic elements
Traditional architecture in the area is rarely preserved. Other than temples with local features, such as Mailiao Kongfan Temple, Taixi Anxi Temple, Sihu Haiqing Temple, Kouhu Wanshanye Temple, and Dongshi Xiantian Temple, no important historic sites or relics were found in the area. Farmers in Yunlin County converting their farmland into fish farms has been common in recent years. Coastal fishery activities are mainly hard clam cultivation and eel gathering. There are many small fishing villages and wind turbines scattered in nearby areas. The Western Coast Expressway passes through the west side of Yunlin County. The frequent human activity and traffic forms a special coastal scenery and artificial scenery of fishing villages. The overall scenic quality is still quite good (Figure 6.4.1-3).
(III) Distinctive scenic elements
Yunlin is located on the alluvial plain on the west coast of Taiwan and has a subtropical monsoon climate. Coastal areas have relatively little rainfall, which is concentrated in May to July. Winter is dry with strong monsoons. There are many storm days and sandstorms, which cover the sky with black and gray sand when severe. The coastal areas of Yunlin and Chiayi offer a broad view of special scenic elements along the coastline. The distinctive
6-317 Non binding translation climate condition here makes blue skies, seas and sun a pleasant coastal Forscenery, and convenience the sunset at evening hours is an especially only unique sight in this area (Figure 6.4.1-4).

The recreational impact survey was conducted mainly on scenic spots within 30 minutes driving distance of this project's wind turbines. Besides sand banks and temple architecture in the coastal area, there are relatively few geomorphic and geographic sceneries or cultural sceneries that stand out. Fish farm scenery is a feature of this area. Scenic spots that have been developed along the coastal area include: Estuary landscape park, bicycle paths, Xingang green park, and Linhai park. These provide local residents with places for exercise, recreation, and sightseeing, but there are few visitors due to their remote location. Temples with local features, such as Mailiao Kongfan Temple, Taixi Anxi Temple, Sihu Haiqing Temple, and Dongshi Xiantian Temple, are more able to attract local residents, visitors, and believers. The sandy beach along the coast is only utilized at Santiaolun Beach, and theme parks include Taixi Estuary Park and Wushui Garden. Development has been limited, however, due to the locations being somewhat remote and recreation not in high demand in this area, as well as the limited scale of facilities.
The Southwest Coast National Scenic Area starts from Niutaowan River in Yunlin County to the north and reaches Yenshui River in Tainan City to the south; it borders Provincial Highway 17 to the east. There many scenic spots and an abundance of tourism resources, giving it great potential for developing coastal recreation.
6-320 Non binding translation Judging by traffic and leisure activities in the area, tourists are mainly locals and residentsFor from conveniencenearby cities. Due to close proximity to theonly tourist attractions, leisure activities are mostly planned as half-day or one-day trips. The complete facilities offered by Dongshih Fisherman's Wharf and large scale events organized by Chiayi County Government each year attract many tourists, who typically travel in their own vehicles and on large tour buses.
II. Survey and description of nearby tourist attractions
Main traffic routes around the project area include Provincial Highway 17, Provincial Highway 61 (West Coast Expressway), County Route 160, and County Route 164. Some scenic spots are by the sea and offer a vast view. The offshore wind turbines are clearly visible during good weather and have a considerable visual effect. The accessibility of scenic spots may be negatively impacted by construction vehicles during the construction period. We have shortlisted several local tourist attractions (Figure 6.4.2-1) that may be subject to such impacts. Descriptions of the shortlisted attractions are as follows:

(III) Taixi Estuary Park
Taixi Estuary Park is located on the west coast of Taixi Township, Yunlin County, facing the Taiwan Strait. It is a themed tourist attraction built on reclaimed land in Taixi, and is suitable for farming due to the sandy soil. In addition to fish farms, visitors can also admire the large Brassica campestris fields, coastal oyster farms, and sunset scenery. The park has an Estuary Life Hall, which offers holiday movies, cultural creativity, fishermen experience, and art activities, and displays ancient agriculture and fishing tools and oyster shell artworks, providing a new location for in-depth travel and mini cultural creativity in Taixi Township.
(IV) Santiaolun Beach Waterfront Park
Santiaolun Beach Waterfront Park was originally Santiaolun Beach. Currently, only a small park and forest area is open to the public. The park contains an abundance of natural and industrial sceneries of the ocean, beach, oyster racks, and windbreak forest. The park is surrounded by a windbreak forest and has well preserved ecology. It is one of the most completely preserved coastal areas in Central Taiwan, but was closed for numerous years due to issues with land ownership and poor operation, resulting in extremely few visitors.
(V) Sihu Haiqing Temple (Baogong Temple)
Haiqing Temple is located on the coast of Santiaolun, Yunlin County, and is mainly dedicated to the famous Northern Song Dynasty official Bao Zheng.

6-350 Non binding translation fishermen" (58.9%) and "Use mass media" (31.1%). Survey results Forshow convenience that opinion leaders considered "Use massonly media" to be the most appropriate communication method (78.4%), followed by "First notify local elected representatives and have the representatives explain to residents" (15.7%) and "Distribute promotional materials" (3.9%). Overall, local residents, fishermen, and opinion leaders considered "Public hearings/Forums" and "First notify local elected representatives and have the representatives explain to residents" to be the most appropriate communication method, whereas fishermen felt the developer could also "Directly hold public hearings for fishermen."
(4) Scenery perception Surveys of local residents showed that surveyed subjects in Taixi Township, Sihu Township, and Kouhu Township mostly felt the impact on scenery was "Nothing special" (53.3%, 57%, and 53.3%), followed by "Like the scenery" (31%, 27.4%, and 28.7%). Overall, when asked about their opinion on numerous wind turbines appearing 6-17 km offshore, residents of Taixi Township, Sihu Township, and Kouhu Township felt it was "Nothing special" (55.1%), followed by they "Like the scenery" (29.6%). This shows that wind turbines appearing 6-17 km offshore will not have much effect on local residents in Taixi Township, Sihu Township, and Kouhu Township.
(5) Tourists' willingness to visit the area upon completion of wind turbine Surveys of local residents showed that surveyed subjects in Taixi Township, Sihu Township, and Kouhu Township mainly consider the project as having "No effect" on tourism benefit (72.3%, 79.3%, and 71.3%, respectively), while a smaller percentage expect an " Increase" in tourism benefit (19.3%, 14.1%, and 18.6%, respectively).

(6) Expectations or hopes for this project are as follows:
6-351 Non binding translation Local residents' main expectations or hopes for this project are as Forfollows: convenience 1. Wind power is a clean energy that canonly achieve sustainable development; 2. There should be comprehensive compensation mechanisms; 3. Do not damage marine ecology; 4. Fully communicate with fishermen and local residents; 5. Wind power is inefficient and needs improvement of efficiency. Fishermen's main expectations or hopes for this project are as follows: 1. Do not affect fishery industry; 2. There should be comprehensive compensation mechanisms; 3. Other green energy should be developed (e.g. solar power); 4. Do not affect the water quality of aquaculture; 5. Compensate fishermen.
4. Overall analysis
Based on the above analyses, we found 82% of local residents, 59% of fishermen and 82% of opinion leaders are willing to support this project with and without conditions. They approve of this project for its effective use of wind resources, which is a clean energy and more environmentally-friendly because it reduces carbon dioxide emission, provides abundant power, and drives local industrial development. As for the 18% of local residents, 39% of fishermen and 18% of opinion leaders who were not supportive of this project, their concerns were mostly about how the project may affect fishermen's livelihood, impact the fishery industry, impact the ecological environment of fishing grounds, inefficient, there are already too many wind turbines, and increase noise and vibration. If the developer is able to properly communicate with local residents/fishermen in these factors while take actions to prevent damaging the ecological environment of fishing grounds, provide compensation measures, and gain economic benefits. It is very likely for the developer to gain their support eventually. During the construction and operation periods of this project, the developer should pay special attention to "Water quality and life within the maritime space," "Noise and vibration prevention," "Impact on fishery industry and fishery yield," "Impact on fishing vessel operations," and "Safety protection." It is imperative for the developer to properly implement environmental protection measures, and "Organize public hearings/forums" or "notify local elected representatives in advance and have the representatives
6-352 Non binding translation explain to residents and "Directly hold public hearings for fishermen", so Forthat the convenience message can be conveyed properly toonly local residents and fishermen. Only through the proposition of mutually acceptable solution may the developer gain unanimous support from local residents, fishermen, and opinion leaders.

The preparatory office began communicating with the leaders of Fisheries Section of Yunlin County Government and the Promotion Section and leaders of Yunlin Fishermen's Association since March 2016. Table 6.5.5-2 summarizes visits over the past year or so. We already communicated with leaders of the fishermen's association before holding the public hearing on October 7th, 2016, so representatives of the association already explained that they will not speak during the public hearing, but a hearing for fishermen must be held once the compensation measures are decided. After long-term efforts of the preparatory office to maintain smooth channels of communication with the fishermen's association, the preparatory office has gained approval from Yunlin Fishermen's Association in principle in letter Yun-Yu-Tui-Zi-Di 1060000448 on June 6th, 2017 (Figure 6.5.5-8). The preparatory office will comply with the three instructions on the letter. Once the development project gains concession approval, the preparatory office will reach an agreement with Yunlin Fishermen's Association regarding compensation for the fishery industry, fishing rights loses, resource restoration, and compensation mechanisms before beginning construction. The office will maintain close communication with the fishermen's association during this period of time to immediately learn the association's demands.

III. Traffic volume and service level analysis
We surveyed the traffic characteristics of main roads in surrounding areas to analyze the service level of nearby road sections and intersections. The survey dates were July 29th, 2016 (Friday, sunny), July 30th, 2016 (Saturday, sunny), November 6th, 2016 (Sunday, sunny), and November 7th, 2016 (Monday, sunny). The roads and intersections surveyed include Beiti Rd., Yugang Rd., Provincial Highway 17, County Route 158, County Route 164, Yun 131-2 Township Route, intersection of Provincial Highway 17/County Route 158, and intersection of Provincial Highway 17/Beiti Rd.,/ Yugang Rd., to understand the level of traffic system services at nearby road sections and intersections. (I) Road section service level analysis
According to the definition in the 2011 Taiwan Roadway Capacity Manual, main roads in the project area are divided into multiple lane suburban roadways and two lane suburban roadways. Hence, V/C (volume/capacity) is the standard used to evaluate roadway loading when assessing the service level of roadways.
Assessment results of this study show that road section service level was B and above during weekday mornings, evening rush hour, and holiday rush hour, indicating good traffic flow at each road section. Service level assessments during weekday and holiday rush hour are shown in Table 6.6- 7 and Table 6.6-8. Current service levels of surrounding roads are shown in Figure 6.6-1 and Figure 6.6-2.

To evaluate the service level of signalized intersections around the project site, the turning traffic volume at intersections, geometric design of roads, and intersection timing plan, the traffic software HCS is used to evaluate the service level at intersections during weekday morning and evening rush hour and holiday rush hour. The evaluation is carried out in accordance with the 2011 Taiwan Roadway Capacity Manual's service level evaluation standard for signalized intersections, as shown in Table 6.6-9.
Assessment results of this study show that intersection service level was C and above during weekday mornings, evening rush hour and holiday rush hour, indicating good traffic flow at each intersection. Assessment of the service level at signalized intersections is shown in Table 6.6-10. Current service levels of surrounding roads are shown in Figure 6.6-1 and Figure 6.6-2. Related Notes: 1.

Non binding translation 6.7 Cultural heritage I. ScopeFor of survey convenience only The scope of survey includes underwater archaeological data collection and the route of land cables, as well as the area within 500 meters from land cables. Survey items include Paragraph 1 of Article 3 of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act: monuments, historic buildings, commemorative buildings, groups of buildings, archaeological sites, historic sites, cultural landscapes, antiquities, and natural landscapes; and Paragraph 1 of Article 3 of the Underwater Cultural Heritage Preservation Act: (1) Sites, structures, buildings, implements, and human remains, including surrounding archaeological and natural contexts. (2) Vessels, aircrafts, and other vehicles and components or cargo of the vehicles, including surrounding archaeological and natural contexts. (3) Objects with prehistoric meaning.
II. Survey method
The survey work is divided into literature review and field survey. The land survey involves both work items, while the marine survey involves literature review and oceanographic survey data analysis. Finally, a report is prepared based on analysis of survey results. Work contents and procedures of this project are described below:
(I) Literature
Literature is first collected and summarized to gain a preliminary understanding of the history, geography, culture, and cultural heritage within the survey area. Field surveys were planned on the basis of literature, and necessary adjustments were made based on the actual situation for subsequent survey work to be successfully carried out.
(II) Field survey
Once indoor work (organizing and reading literature) is completed, field surveys are carried out based on the predetermined survey method. Since the project area covers both land and sea, the survey on land is carried out on foot, examining the stratigraphic profile and soil for any exposed cultural layers, archaeological relics or phenomena. If there are any findings, the auger method is used based on the actual situation to gain a preliminary understanding of the stratum and possible depth of cultural layers. The survey at sea is mainly carried out using oceanographic survey instruments

Introduction to the survey area (I) ForNatural environment convenience only The wind farm is located off the west coast of Yunlin County, and areas where land cables pass through (Figure 6.7-1) are part of the Holocene alluvium, which is mainly slate-based alluvial soil from the Central Mountain Range, composed of mud, sand, and silty clay. A vast intertidal zone has formed in the coastal area due to sediments, including large amounts of mud, sand, and argillite, brought by Zhuoshui River, Jiuhuwei River, Beigang River, and other small rivers, as well as the effects of longshore current. During the early Japanese Colonial Period, near coast areas where land cables mainly pass through were the flat intertidal zone or sand banks (Figure 6.7-2). There were significant changes in the size of Zhuoshui River, Xinhuwei River and Jiuuhuwei River estuaries, and sandbars outside of Beigang River estuary have also moved outward between 1920-1955 (Chen, 1993: 842-843). The buried military fort along the coast shows that the natural changes and artificial effects have caused significant changes to the coastal terrain of Yunlin in comparison to early 20th century. Now coastal areas are mostly used for farming clams and oysters, and the checkerboard shaped ponds are a local feature.

(II) History and culture
1. Pre-historic era Like other townships in Taiwan, archaeological survey of Yunlin also began during the Japanese Colonial Period, but historical relics of the Yunlin and Dounan that were discovered at the time were unclear and still have not been verified (Mori Ushinosuke, 1902; Kano Tadao, 1929). Not many archaeological sites have been found in Yunlin, and there have been relatively few archaeological studies compared with other counties and cities. However, an outline of the prehistoric culture in Yunlin County was still completed through archaeological surveys and excavations that have been carried out since the war (Huang and Liu, 1980; Huang et al., 1997; Tsang et al., 1994; Liu and Lin, 2000; Liu and Yen, 2004). The prehistoric culture of each archaeological site is mainly distributed in Zhuoshui River alluvial plain, Douliu hills and shallow mountain area, including red cord-marked pottery culture during the medium term of the Neolothic Period about 4,500-3,500 years from present day, which is represented by the Meilin Site. The Yinpu Culture

Non binding translation about 3,300-1,800 years from present day is represented by the Pingding ForSite. The convenience red slipped pottery culture about 1,800-350 only years from present day is represented by the Fanzaigou Site, and the Kanding Culture about 350 years from present day is represented by the Leicuo and Shicuo Sites.
2. Historic era Taiwan's historic era began in the early 17th century when history was recorded in words for the first time. During the Dutch Colonial Period, there were several indigenous tribes living along the west coast of Taiwan in Changhua and Yunlin. In noordelijk, established by the Dutch (i.e. the third indigenous tribe in Zhuluo County referred to by Huang Shu- Ching), there was the so called Flavorlang and Erlinliang areas. Based on the names of each tribe and current location, Flavorlang is roughly located between Xinhuwei River and Jiuhuwei River around Huwei, Tuku, and Baozhong, close to the area known as "Nanshe" during the Qing Dynasty (Liang and Chung, 2001: 43-49). Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch in the 15th year of Yongli during the Ming Dynasty, and called Taiwan Dongdu, establishing one province and two counties, in which Yunlin County belonged to Tianxing County. Zheng Chenggong passed away in the 16th year of Yongli (the first year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty) and was succeeded by his son Cheng Ching. Taiwan was renamed Dongning in the 8th month of the 18th year of Emperor Yongli, Tianxing and Wannian counties were restructured into sub-prefectures, in which Tianxing sub-prefecture had 34 villages and Wannian sub-prefecture had 20 villages. Pacification Offices were established in the north, south, and Penghu. The distance between north and south offices was calculated from Chikan Tower, in which the south route was 2.520 li to Kunqiao in Fengshan. The north route is 2,315 Li to Zhuluo (Chiayi), Shuishalian (Linyibu), Banxian (Changhua), Zhusu (Hsinchu), Danshui (Taipei), and Jilung (Keelung). At the time, this county and township were both under the north pacification office of Tianxian sub-prefecture. Farmland was vastly cultivated under the Tuntian system. Douliu, Dounan, Beigang, and Dongshi were not cultivated by officers, and were cultivated by tenant farmers instead (Ting and Lin, 2001).

Non binding translation IV. Cultural heritage on land BasedFor on the literatureconvenience review, field survey, and the cultural only heritage report of the " Environmental Impact Assessment for the Wind Power Construction Project in Sihu Township and Kouhu Township, Yunlin County (Revised version)," Taixi Township, Kouhu Township, and Sihu Township, where the project is located, have a total of six registered or designated tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Two are located in Taixi Township and the remaining four are located in Kouhu Township. Sihu Township currently does not have any registered or designated cultural heritage (Table 6.7-1, Figure 6.7- 3). Yunlin County only has two announced archaeological sites: Gukeng Dapingding Site and Gubengang Site, which are located in Gukeng Township and Beigang Township. Neither of the sites are located in the three townships of the project, and are fairly distant. The contents of cultural heritage are as follows.
(I) Historical heritage
Wanshan Tongui Tomb in Kouhu Xialiao is located at the north of Xialiaozai in Xialun Village, Kouhu Township, Yunlin County, and was designated as a county (city) designated historic site on January 24th, 2006.
Legend has it that during the torrential rain at night on the seventh day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar in 1845, strong winds blew from southwest to northeast and caused seawater intrusion. Corpses of drowned villagers from coastal villages floated to Xialiao and Wukuaicuo (under the jurisdiction of Santiaolun). Even though there were some survivors, they could not identify the deceased, and it was common for entire families to be victims. Corpses were everywhere without anyone to collect and bury them. After the government cleaned up the mess, a large hole was dug behind the memorial hall to bury all of the corpses. Any corpses, which were not collected or buried under the mud and sand and found afterwards had turned into bone, were placed in a tank. When the tomb was renovated in August, 1852, bone ash pots and the tank (containing bones) were sealed with lime into small dunes, about 400 in total, and a tombstone with the words "Wanshan Tonggui" was erected. A small shrine was built to offer sacrifices, and the tombstone with the words "Wanshan Tonggui" is in the center. The shrine collapsed after long years of being out of repair. When

Non binding translation the shrine was repaired, a statue was built and put in the center and the Fororiginal tombstone convenience was placed inside the shrine. only Seawater began to intrude into the tomb in Xianshuijue in the northwest of Xinzhuangzai (now Guanggoucuo) in 1914 (the place is now completely underwater), and the tomb was also relocated here. A new grave was dug next to the north of the original grave using the same burial method, and about one hundred mounds were made. A new tombstone was erected next to the main grave with the words rebuilt in the 2nd year of Xianfeng and 3rd year of Taisho, and a small shrine was built north of the old shrine.
There are over 300 small burial mounds behind Wanshan Temple in Xialiao, Kouhu Township, where the ashes of tsunami victims 161 years ago are buried. Locals call it the "Wanshan Tonggui Grave" and nearby residents said that every time they tried to count the correct number of graves, they failed. It was strange because everyone counted a different number. Wanshan Temple in Jiujinhugang, Hanzailiao, Kouhu Township and Wanshanye Temple in Jinhu hold large ceremonies on the 7th and 8th day of the 6th month of the lunar calendar each year to remember the victims. This even developed into the spirit drawing out of water ritual, which is a rare folk custom for flood victims.

(III) Intangible cultural heritage - Folk customs
1. Drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) in Kouhu Drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) is a folk custom held in Kouhu Township, Yunlin County each year, and is a combination of locals remembering their ancestors and religious belief. It was registered with Yunlin County Government as a folk custom and related relic on November 25th, 2008. It was later designated an important folk custom by the Ministry of Culture on June 18th, 2010. After the flood in Kouhu in 1845, descendants would visit the mass graves in each village on the 7th and 8th days of the 6th month of the lunar calendar to worship ancestors. Locals later built the Wanshan Temple and combined the ceremony of drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) with local religious belief for promotion. Che Cang originated from books on Taoism ritual and means rotating non-stop. Che Cang is divided into blood and water in Taiwan's folk customs. The former uses red colored paper flowers and is specific for delivering women who passed away during childbirth. Water (Che Cang) uses white or gray colored paper flowers and is mainly for delivering people who drowned. Water (Che Cang) uses bamboo skin to weave two cylinders and pastes light colored paper flowers, 12 monsters and freaks are pasted in the order of water, hell and heaven. There are ghosts of the deceased in the water,
6-385
Non binding translation as well as the water deity representing righteousness and foul deity Forrepresenting convenience evil. There are large and small demons, only the city god for judging good and evil, and Ox Head and Horse Face. Finally, there are Guanyin, Shan Cai and the Dragon Lady. At the four corners on top are small triangle flags for calling back the spirits of the dead. Rotating the water (Che Cang) represents helping the ghosts of the drowned find the way on land. In the past, villagers would write the names of their ancestors on the water (Che Cang). As time passed, people now write their own name and address on the water (Che Cang) to express their gratitude. There was a massive storm during the evening of the 7th day of the 6th month of the lunar calender in 1845. Beigang River and Niutaowan River rose to dangerously high levels and the strong winds caused seawater intrusion in the coastal area of Yunlin County. The area from Huwei River to Beigang River flooded over night, flooding major villages along the coast of Jinhugang, Kouhu Township. Jinhugang was hit the hardest as the flooding took at least 3,000 lives. Local elders pointed out that the flooded area included Jinhu, Taizi, Hanzailiao, Chenglong, Xinggang, and Xiahukou villages. After the flood water subsided, damaged ships and the villages were a mess, and the once prosperous towns were littered with corpses. The family tree of many local families documented this horrifying day in history, and literature also recorded this flood as the most severe flood disaster in Taiwan, resulting in about 3,000 deaths. Four mass graves were dug with government assistance to bury the corpses, and the Qing emperor conferred the title (Wanshan Tonggui). The deceased were the unidentifiable family and friends of survivors, and on the 7th and 8th days of the 6th month of the lunar calendar each year, the descendants of the deceased will hold the ceremony of drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) in memory of their ancestors. The drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) ceremony on the 7th and 8th days of the 6th month of the lunar calendar each year is a rare folk custom in Taiwan for flood victims. A large religious assembly is held along with the drawing spirits out of the water (Che Cang) ceremony in Jinhu, and burning of the king boat is held along with the drawing spirits

The south temple decides the person in charge by throwing red moon blocks, while village chiefs take turns serving as the person in charge for the north temple. The ceremony was originally always held on the 8th day of the 6th month of the lunar calendar, but the date was changed to the 7th day based on an agreement with residents of Jinhu to prevent it from becoming too crowded. The ceremony continues to be held on the 7th to this day.

"1. Underwater cultural heritage: means all traces of human existence having a historical, cultural, archaeological, artistic or scientific character which have been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously such as:
(I) sites, structures, buildings, artifacts and human remains, together with their archaeological and natural context;
(II) vessels, aircraft, other vehicles or any part thereof, their cargo or other contents, together with their archaeological and natural context; and
(III) objects of prehistoric character."
According to the literature review and "Preliminary Evaluation Report on Underwater Cultural Heritage (Final)" for the project, data on underwater cultural heritage is described below.
Since 2013, four shipwrecks have been listed and tracked as underwater cultural heritage, including the Qing Dynasty wooden ship at Kongke Island, S.S. Bokhara, Kohei, and Santeng Maru. All four shipwrecks are located in the waters of Penghu. See Table 6.7-2 for relevant data (Bureau of Cultural Heritage 2013: 53-55): Table 6.7-2 Underwater cultural heritage (shipwrecks) Serial Name Related position Year the ship sunk No. Qing Dynasty Wooden (Mid and late Qing 1 Northern sea area of Penghu Ship at Kongke Island Dynasty) 2 S.S.

(II) S.S. Bokhara
Discovered at Gupo Island in November 2009. The S.S. Bokhara commercial ship is a large steamship made by P. and O. Co., and set sail from Shanghai carrying mail in 1892, headed towards Europe through Hong Kong (carried cricket players that entered a tournament in Shanghai). The ship encountered a typhoon on October 11th and sunk after striking a reef. Of the 148 passengers, only 23 survived. The incident was covered extensively by international media, and the U.K. donated money for building a lighthouse and built a monument on Gupo Island. The discovery of the S.S. Bokhara can not only validate the historical incident, but also allow understanding of trade at the time and daily necessities.
(III) Kohei
Discovered at Haopu Shallow Reef at Jiangjun Island in June 2010. The Kohei was built by Fuzhou Mawei Shipyard during Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It is a cruiser of the Guangdong Navy during the Qing Dynasty. After losing Naval Battle of Yalu River during the First Sino- Japanese War in 1894, the ship surrendered at Weihaiwei and became part of the Japanese fleet. It later took part in the mission to take over Taiwan and Penghu. Files of Taiwan Governor-General's Office recorded that the ship struck a reef and sunk when searching for Lin Ting-Cheng, the leader of the defeated troops, in 1895. Of the 160 persons on the ship, 37 were missing while the remaining were all rescued. A monument was erected in Penghu and Hiroshima and provides evidence for research on the late Qing Dynasty and wars.
(IV) Santeng Maru
Discovered at Liuchi Reef in May 2010. The Santeng Maru was a transport ship of Japan during World War II. It was sunk by a torpedo fired by a submarine of the U.S. Army in 1942.
Furthermore, Jiangjun No.1 was investigated and dug up, but was not listed and tracked (Huang, 1996, 1997, 1999). The shipwrecks listed or not yet

The river bed dries up when there is no rain, which is extremely inconvenient for sea transport. Harbors along the coast of Yunlin include Santiaolun, Taixi, and Poziliao, which are mainly fishing harbors. Even though Ben Harbor provides access, the convenient land transport replaced the role of sea transport.

According to the study "Handling Shipwrecks in Taiwan's Sea Areas" conducted by the Coastal Patrol Directorate General, Coast Guard Administration, Executive Yuan in December 2008, the 122 shipwrecks that occurred in the Taiwan Strait between 2002 and 2007, 9 of them were medium to large commercial vessels, 10 were working ships and tourist yachts, and 103 were fishing boats. Analysis of the Coast Guard Administration's shipwreck data by sea area is as follows:
(I) Analysis of shipwrecks by sea area
Shipwrecks in Taiwan's sea areas are analyzed in Table 6.7-9, in which the highest number and percentage of shipwrecks occurred off the coasts of

Non binding translation Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Suao. There is frequent vessel activity in these Forsea areas withconvenience the most number of ships, and a higheronly percentage of shipwrecks occurred in these sea areas. The sea area off the coast of Suao is located at Taiwan's Northeast Coast, and is rough during the northeast monsoon during winter with high waves. The shores are rocky with many capes. Shipwrecks can easily occur due to the lack of navigation equipment and technology. Due to frequent fishing activity in the sea areas of Kaohsiung and Pingtung, most shipwrecks are fishing boats that catch fire and sink. Some fishermen neglect maintenance of their old fishing boats and do not carefully inspect ship machinery and valves before setting sail. Hence, accidents often occur and they cannot respond in time, resulting in a fire accident and eventually causing the ship to sink. There is no data on shipwrecks off the coast of Yunlin (the survey area) between 2002 and 2007. (Coastal Patrol Directorate General, Coast Guard Administration, Executive Yuan, 2008)

VI. Land area survey results
The land area was surveyed on October 9th, 2016. The scope of survey includes the route of land cables and power facilities. See Figure 6.7-4 for photos taken during the survey. There are four landfall points for subsea cables, specifically: Two locations on the southwest side of Taixi Fishing Harbor (northern power transmission lines), on the south side of Santiaolun Fishing Harbor, and on the south side of Boziliao Fishing Harbor (central power transmission lines). The project's survey area includes the route of land cables and the area within 500 meters of the land cables. The survey is carried out on foot, examining the stratigraphic profile and soil for any exposed cultural layers, archaeological relics or phenomena. If there are any findings, the auger method is used based on the actual situation to gain a preliminary understanding of the stratum and possible depth of cultural layers. The land along the route of land cables mainly consists of fish farms and dry farms. The central power transmission lines make landfall on the south side of Boziliao Fishing Harbor and Santiaolun Fishing Harbor. Power transmission lines are installed follow existing roads and connect to Taiwan Power Company's Sihu Substation. The land along the route of these two land cables is mainly fish farms and dry farms. With regard to northern power transmission lines, landfall points for the subsea cables will be on the north and south sides of Taixi Fishing Harbor, and then the land cables will be installed follow the road along the embankment and fish farms, eventually connecting to Taixi Substation. No archaeological relics were discovered during the survey.

Non binding translation VII. Underwater survey data analysis UnderwaterFor survey convenience results show that the underwater terrain only at the wind farm includes sand bar, sand levee, and sand dune. The seabed surface and beneath mainly consists of mud, silt, and sand. Furthermore, sonar contact shows that there are 41 objects on the seabed or covered in silt and slightly visible (see Figure 6.7-5 for details). Most objects have an irregular shape or are long objects, in which objects #17, #18 and #27 have a relatively clear pattern and are more likely to be shipwrecks. Remaining objects cannot be identified from the image.
Comparison with the Taiwan Map from the early 20th century shows significant changes in the reclaimed land at the estuary of Beigang River and the coastal landform to the north. The offshore sandbanks also show signs of drifting southward.
During early years, fishermen along the coasts of Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan found ancient pottery during fishing operations at Beigang River, Huwei River, along the coast of Dongshi, and at Waishandingzhou. Based on the fishing methods during early periods and shellfish often attached to the historic relics, it is a reasonable guess that there are shipwrecks in the sea area of the wind farm. Most of the shipwrecks and their relics are already buried underneath the seabed. In other words, the 41 objects mentioned above may be the modern objects, but the possibility of historic relics being exposed on the seabed surface due to disturbance cannot be eliminated.
