Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as harbor in Toucheng, Yilan County, Taiwan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15911678. Authority coordinates are 24.868, 121.838. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1826, 2000 and 1877.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
