One of the larger night markets in northern Taiwan, Keelung Miaokou Nigh Market (基隆廟口夜市) surrounds Dianji Temple and is located a short walk from Keelung Harbor. It has been in operation for more than 40 years and occupies a space of about 400 meters and several city blocks.
Temples often serve as both a spiritual and physical foundation of night markets in Taiwan and Keelung's is no different. The Miaokou part of the name literally means “temple entrance”.
More than 200 food stands offer up regional as well as national delicacies. Among the more famous dishes are Taiwanese style tempura “tianbula” (天婦羅), pot rim rice soup “ding bian cuo” (鼎邊銼), pork rib soup “pai gu geng” (排骨羹), one bite sausages “yi kou xiang chang” (一口香腸), a huge variety of fried, roasted, and steamed fresh caught seafood, and bubble ice “pao pao bing” (泡泡冰).

The Bolo Hauz Mosque stands on the western edge of what was once Bukhara’s Registan Square, directly facing the Ark Fortress in a classic paired arrangement that once framed the city’s ceremonial heart.
Built in 1712 early in the reign of Abu’l-Faiz Khan, it ranks among the last major religious monuments raised in Bukhara before the modern era and forms part of the city’s UNESCO-listed Historic Center.
Its name, meaning “above the pool,” refers to the octagonal stone lined hauz that still lies before it, a reservoir that once supplied water for ablutions and daily life and now mirrors the mosque’s slender wooden columns so perfectly that locals call the place the Mosque of Forty Pillars.
At its core is a solid winter prayer hall of thick brick walls and a spacious dome, its interior marked by the restrained muqarnas vaulting and mihrab typical of eighteenth century Central Asian craftsmanship.
In the early twentieth century, under the last Manghit emir, a luminous summer iwan was ...

Port FC, one of Thailand’s oldest clubs, was founded in 1967 as the Port Authority of Thailand side.

The railways of Uzbekistan began in the late nineteenth century under the Russian Empire with the construction of the Trans-Caspian line that stretched across the deserts to reach Samarkand in 1888 and later connected with Tashkent.
After independence the national operator O‘zbekiston Temir Yo‘llari was created in 1994 and has steadily improved the network. Alongside the newer high-speed services, the reliable Sharq express continues to provide a classic and more affordable way to travel between the country’s main cities.
