About Kao-Hsiung

From left to right, Kao (high), Hsiung (a hero) and then county. This is a big county in the south. Kaohsiung City was upgraded to become equal with Taipei City, administered directly by Executive Yuan instead of the Taiwan Provincial Government. But Kaohsiung County remains a county administered by the Taiwan Provisional Government.
