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:
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
