Английская Википедия:Hualien City
Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox settlementHualien City (Шаблон:Zh; Wade-Giles: Hua¹-lien² Shih⁴; Hokkien POJ: Hoa-lian-chhī or Hoa-liân-chhī) is a county-administered city and the county seat of Hualien County, Taiwan. It is located on the east coast of Taiwan on the Pacific Ocean, and has a population of 99,458 inhabitants.[1]
Name
Hualien County annals (Шаблон:Lang) record that the city was called "Kilai" (Шаблон:Zh) until the early twentieth century. This name refers to the Sakiraya Taiwanese aborigines and their settlement.[2]
After Taiwan came under Japanese rule in 1895 its governors sought to change the name because "Kilai" is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for Шаблон:Nihongo. The name was eventually changed to Шаблон:Nihongo. After World War II the incoming Kuomintang-led Republic of China retained the Kanji spelling but shortened the name to just Шаблон:Nihongo4, or Hualien via Chinese romanization.
History
The Spaniards built mines for gold in Hualien in 1622. Permanent settlements began in 1851, when 2,200 Han Chinese farmers led by Huang A-fong (黃阿鳳) from Taipei arrived at Fengchuan (now the area near Hualien Rear Station). In 1875, more farmers, led by Lin Cang-an (林蒼安) from Yilan, settled at Fengchuan.Шаблон:Citation needed
Settlements in the area remained small by the start of Japanese rule. The city was expanded circa 1912 by its Japanese governors to incorporate Guohua (Шаблон:Nihongo2) and Guoan (Шаблон:Nihongo2) Villages, a region later known as Шаблон:Nihongo. In 1920, Шаблон:Nihongo4 was established, and around 1923 it was extended to Шаблон:Nihongo4, today known as "New Port" (Шаблон:Zh),[3] including the Guowei and Guoji Villages. In 1940, the town was upgraded to Karenkō City, Karenkō Prefecture.
On 25 October 1945, Taiwan was handed over from Japan to the Republic of China under Kuomintang government. In January 1946, the incoming Kuomintang designated Hualien City a county-administered city of Hualien County and to be the county seat.
