Tamsui District 淡水區
Everyone comes to Tamsui for the sunset over the river. Almost no one notices that the same handful of hills has been consecrated, fought over, and physically rebuilt by five different faiths in four hundred years — each one certain it had the final word.
淡水五虎崗：福佑宮媽祖與百年信仰更迭考
淡水不只是黃昏與阿婆鐵蛋。這座山城的五道山脊,曾先後被天主教、道教媽祖信仰、基督新教與日本神道供奉——每一個政權都要在同一片高地上,為自己的統治蓋一個「神聖」的理由。這是一篇關於信仰、地理與權力如何在同一塊土地上輪流下注的故事。

Tamsui: la colina taiwanesa que fundó España
Casi nadie que fotografía el atardecer sobre el río Tamsui sabe que esa misma colina fue, en algún momento, territorio español. Esta es la historia de cinco crónicas que, sin proponérselo, cuentan la misma obsesión: consagrar la misma loma, una y otra vez.

Tamsui : la colline que personne n’a laissée en paix

淡水:スペイン人も、媽祖も、日本人も跪いた丘
淡水の夕日を撮る観光客のほとんどは知らない。あの丘は四百年のあいだ、スペイン人、道教の神、カナダ人宣教師、そして私たち日本人によって、繰り返し「聖なる場所」として塗り替えられてきたのだ。これは五つの物語を通して、同じ丘に執着し続けた人間の歴史をたどる記録である。
