A xie (榭, xiè) is a building constructed along the water. This building's external appearance is in the shape of a double-caltrop. Because it extends from the surface of the water, it is joined to the shore by a little bridge; the roof has a platform, allowing people to observe the moon. Because the moon reflects in the water, it is named "Moon Tide Water Pavilion (月波水榭)".
The Mansion is a residence built by the Lin Ben Yuan Family. It is Taiwan's most complete surviving example of traditional Chinese garden architecture.
The Lin Family Mansion and Garden — along with the Tainan Wu Garden (台南吳園), Hsinchu Beiguo Garden (新竹北郭園), and Wufeng Lin Family Mansion and Garden (霧峰林家宅園) — are collectively known as the Four Great Gardens of Taiwan (台灣四大名園). This residence can be traced back to 1847, at the time a "rent house" for the Lin Ben Yuan family in the north. It was later expanded by the brothers Lin Guohua (林國華) and Lin Guofang (林國芳), becoming the residence of the Lin Ben Yuan family.
After 1949, the Lin Family Garden was lent by the head of the Lin household to the government to temporarily shelter soldiers from the mainland. In 1977, the Lin Ben Yuan family donated a portion of the garden to the government of Taipei County (now New Taipei), and in 1982 it opened to visitors. The gardens, ruined by illegally built squatters' establishments, were restored in 1986.
Banqiao Lin Family (板橋林家), are a Taiwanese family of businesspeople, politicians, and scholars. They rose from the era of the Qing Dynasty and are still active in present Taiwan. In June 2008, Forbes ranked Lin Ming-cheng (林明成) as the 20th richest in Taiwan. The family were descended from Lin Ying-yin (林應寅), who immigrated, with his son Lin Ping-hou (林平侯), from Zhangzhou of Fujian to Xinzhuang of Taiwan in 1784. They enriched by managing the rice business. Afterward, Lin Ping-hou separated his property into five portions, the "Yin" (飲), "Shui" (水), "Ben" (本), "Si" (思) and "Yuan" (源), which were respectively received by his five sons: Lin Guodong (林國棟), Lin Guoren (林國仁), Lin Guohua (林國華), Lin Guoying (林國英), and Lin Guofang (林國芳). Two of the brothers, Lin Guohua and Lin Guofang, reassociated later. As a result, the company of "Lin Ben Yuan" formed.

Point Cook is a rapidly developing residential area, located in the south-east of the City of Wyndham.

The Point Cook small area includes parts of the suburbs of Point Cook, Werribee and Werribee South. The Point Cook small area excludes the Point Cook RAAF base, which has been included in the Werribee South small area. Point Cook is named after John M Cooke, mate of His Majesty's Vessel "Rattlesnake”, which charted part of Port Phillip Bay in 1836.
Settlement of the area dates from the late 1840s, with land used mainly for farming and grazing, and later for saltworks. Significant development did not occur until the 1990s. The population grew rapidly from the mid 1990s, rising from less than 200 in 1996 to over 14,000 in 2006. The population increased seven-fold between 2001 and 2006, particularly south and west of Seabrook and in the Sanctuary Lakes development. Population growth is expected to continued, as further housing is developed.
Major features of area include Cheetham Wetlands, Point Cook Coastal Park and Homestead, Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club, Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre, Point Cook Town Centre, Werribee Agriculture & Food Technology Precinct and numerous schools.

«This is my new computer. Blue glowing light and the best machine I could afford. It's specially designed for Photography work, nice microprocessor and 4GB of RAM, big hard disk... Not bad.
(I can surely explain it better, or in a geeky way, but it sounds great the "blue glowing" thing in a guy that works with computers)»
