price was NT$14,401,000 from a building on Changchun Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei
City, which was auctioned by the Taipei Branch. The building was originally a hotel, and
although it has no utility supply and the surface of walls and ceilings is peeling off, its
location close to the Taipei Regent Hotel and Showtime Cinemas with convenient
transportation and good living functions, as well as bustling surrounding business districts
make it a feature potential of attracting large crowds of visitors and consumers consumption
and it was successfully auctioned at the second auction. The New Taipei Branch auctioned

about 27 years ago with a total area of about 51 pings. It is close to the Zhonghe Interchange
of National Highway 3, the Zhongyuan Station of the MRT Circular Line and the

surnamed Shen, who owned a large arrear of transportation laws, in the Baiyun section of

The fishing boat sailed to the sea areas of Pratas Island in February 2025 and received 402
kilograms of marijuana from a Thai drug lord's ship on the high seas. The marijuana was
seized in the secret cabin of the fishing boat after being intercepted and investigated by the
Coast Guard Administration of the Ocean Affairs Council. The case is currently under
