The Xindian Creek (or Xindian River) (Chinese: 新店溪; pinyin: xīn diàn xī) is a creek in northern Taiwan. It flows through New Taipei and the capital Taipei for 82 km. The Feitsui Dam spans the creek southeast of Taipei.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
