A magic time machine The tale begins two hundred years ago with a great flood that visited the old Penkang River (now known as the Peikang River). An ancient village situated along the river was completely inundated, and the inhabitants were forced to flee, some moving north, others moving south. This is how Hsinkang (which literally means "new harbor") came into being.
