E'ling Trestle: Making Way for the Landscape

Jason's first stop was the E'ling Trestle, which officially opened to the public on November 12, 2025. Stretching 460 meters, the steel-structured walkway is built along natural cliffs, resembling a ribbon that connects nearly 30 cultural landmarks. While it appears to be a striking visual landmark, it is in fact an "aerial corridor." Each carefully engineered curve navigates around rail transit lines below and high-voltage cables above. At its highest point—28 meters above ground—the unobstructed view of the Jialing River stands as a testament to the ingenuity behind the project.

Liziba Station: A Monorail Running Through a Residential Building

At Liziba Station, Jason visited China's first straddle-type monorail station integrated with a residential and commercial building. Completed in 2004, the station was designed with complete structural separation between the rail columns and the building's support columns, minimizing vibration as trains pass through the structure. Sun Caifu, a resident who has lived there for 20 years, responded calmly when Jason tested the noise levels in his home: "It's not very loud." After boarding the train himself, Jason remarked, "We're passing right through a building, yet you can hardly feel it."

Bai Xiang Ju: A 24-Story Building Without Elevators

Bai Xiang Ju, a 24-story residential complex without elevators, left Jason thoroughly "lost." Built along the mountainside, the six interconnected buildings span a vertical height difference of up to 38 meters. Designers took advantage of the terrain by creating entrances on the 1st, 10th, and 15th floors, linked by elevated walkways. Xie Lei, a shop owner originally from another province, chose to settle here after visiting Chongqing more than a decade ago. "I was drawn by the food, the scenery, and the people," he said. When Jason asked how to reach the ground floor, Xie replied with a smile: "There are more than ten 'first floors' here—which one are you looking for?"

Underground Ring Road: From Air-Raid Shelters to Urban Arteries

One of the most "unbelievable" moments for Jason was riding in what he described as an "elevator taxi." Local driver Chen Dalin drove his vehicle into an elevator, descended to an underground garage, and entered the city's underground ring road. "These were air-raid shelters built during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," Chen explained. "After renovation, they were connected into a loop. During rush hour, when traffic is congested above ground, it flows smoothly down here." As the car navigated the winding route, Jason exclaimed, "With all these turns, it feels like riding in a Ferrari."

Yangtze River Cableway and Crown Escalator: Turning Terrain into Opportunity

From the Yangtze River Cableway—operating for over 30 years and known as the first aerial corridor across the Yangtze River—to the Crown Escalator, the longest escalator in China and the second longest in Asia, Yuzhong has transformed mountainous constraints into spatial advantages, maximizing every inch of land. The 13-story stilted buildings of Hongyadong break traditional limits of faux-ancient architecture, converting dramatic cliffside elevation into structural support and earning the nickname "Cliffside City of China."

Hongyadong: Dancing with Nature

"Being in Yuzhong feels like stepping into a magical world," Jason concluded at the end of his tour. "But more than the spectacle, what truly moves me is the wisdom of the people here. They do not seek to conquer the mountains and rivers—they have learned to dance with them. The magic here is not a cold, futuristic illusion; it is warm, lived-in life that grows from the land itself."

This is Yuzhong—a city where humanity and nature coexist in harmony, telling China's story to the world.

All Pets Available Through Daily Login Rewards

SEOUL, South Korea, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, today announced the global launch of its new mobile idle RPG StoneAge Idle Adventure (developed by Netmarble N2). The game is now available worldwide on mobile devices.

StoneAge Idle Adventure is the latest title based on the steady-selling IP "StoneAge," enjoyed by more than 200 million players worldwide. While preserving the charm and core gameplay of the original where players adventure alongside pet dinosaurs, the game features simplified and intuitive systems designed for easy play anytime, anywhere. Signature features such as pet capturing and mounting have been reinterpreted for modern mobile gameplay.

Players can build massive strategic decks consisting of up to six Trainers and 18 Pets that allows 24 units to participate in battle. Fan-favorite pets from the original series, including Mogaros, Veldor, and Yangidon, return with their unique traits intact while appearing in a more charming style.

The game offers a variety of competitive and cooperative content, including the large-scale raid "Advent Battle," where numerous pets enter combat simultaneously; the ranking competition "Sky Tower"; the real-time resource-stealing mode "Aquafarm"; and the cooperative "Mecha Pet Hunt," where players unite to repel invasions.

To celebrate the official launch, Netmarble is hosting in-game events that allow players to earn up to 10,000 Pet Draw Tickets and 10,000 Blue Gems. Additionally, players can obtain every pet available at launch simply by logging in daily, while the mount pet "Pteravis" will be granted as a Day 2 login reward.

StoneAge Idle Adventure can now be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. More information about the game can be found on the official website.

有著低成本和離線特性的磁帶，也因此仍被不少企業作為主要備份工具。然而，現在資料量快速增長，加上日益縮短的 RTO 規範，磁帶在可用性與還原速度上的限制已不容忽視，企業必須重新衡量磁帶適不適用當前的資料保護需求。

磁帶備份難以頻繁驗證，不應作為第一道還原防線

磁帶備份方式行之有年，它能以較低的成本儲存大量資料，當磁帶從磁帶櫃中移除時，還會處於物理隔離狀態，並具備不可竄改（Immutable）特性，確實是對抗網路威脅的一大利器。然而，在目前更加複雜的資安環境中，單單倚靠不可竄改和離線備份，不足以達成網路韌性。

根據美國金融業提出的避風港計畫，組織還得確認備份資料在資安事件期間，是否完整且隨時可供存取，此時就凸顯磁帶的第一個弱勢：資料驗證是一件耗時又耗力的任務，得手動掛載並執行完整讀取掃描，導致 IT 人員難以頻繁驗證。

磁帶循序存取的特性則是另一大障礙，系統須大量掃描資料，才能找到正確的復原點。光是恢復 1TB 的資料就得花上一個小時，一旦復原資料量體達數十或數百 TB，還原流程恐得經歷數天才能完成。面向當今通常要求 15 分鐘內恢復營運的關鍵任務，磁帶的反應速度幾乎無法跟上企業的節奏。

>> Toyota 越南分公司停用磁帶，以 Synology 資料保護解決方案打造全新架構

因此，縱使磁帶藉著低儲存成本、不可竄改等優勢，能用於長期資料保留，卻不應作為資料保護的第一線。畢竟任何的延遲復原都可能造成業務損失，對組織來說一套安全，還能做到快速存取、易於驗證的資料備份平台，可說是至關重要的部署。

Synology ActiveProtect 俱備四大優勢，滿足現代網路韌性需求

這正是 Synology 推出企業備份專用一體機 ActiveProtect 的宗旨，在組織需要時能夠快速、正確地重返營運。以下就從四大面向，分析 ActiveProtect 如何符合避風港計畫要求：

1.保護資料完整性

ActiveProtect 具備主動式修復機制，有效應對硬碟老化或環境劣化的風險，像是透過 Btrfs Checksum 技術，系統持續偵測各備份區塊的完整性。一旦偵測到毀損，會利用 RAID 備援機制自動修復，確保備份資料準確性。此外，ActiveProtect 整合 WORM（一寫多讀） 技術，備份資料在設定的保留期間內，無法被更改或刪除，防堵惡意攻擊可能帶來的損害。

2.輕鬆設置隔離環境

不同於磁帶需人工移除並搬運到異地，才能達到資料隔離的效果，ActiveProtect 僅需在單一管理介面上，就能做好資料隔離。IT 人員可自訂備份時段，其餘時間位於異地的備份伺服器會進入斷網或關機狀態，以達到完全隔離；即便提早完成資料傳輸，系統亦會自動切換為隔離模式，既省去人為操作的複雜性，未來有需求時更能在同一介面上快速還原資料。

3.自動化備份驗證

ActiveProtect 中還能啟用自動化備份驗證，系統會在每次備份完成後，在與營運環境隔離開的沙盒環境中，啟動備份資料並錄製影片，IT 即可藉此確認可用性，不再需要手動檢查，也便於定期執行還原演練，合乎特定法規要求。

4. 高速且可靠的復原流程

資安事件發生後，當然要愈快成功還原愈好，ActiveProtect 的現代備份架構，結合了快照技術，讓每一份備份都是獨立、即時可用的狀態，代表 IT 人員無需等待系統重建資料，只要選擇正確版本即可直接啟動復原。這種設計鞏固了資料的可靠性之餘，更滿足了企業對復原速度的要求。

綜合上述四大特點，ActiveProtect 可以完整協助組織達標網路韌性，甚至符合各項資安規範的標準，讓企業無論面臨何種威脅，都能在最短的時間內重返營運。
