Part wreckage of the crashed China Airlines CI611 landed in Changhua, central Taiwan, where isabout 50 kilometers from the crash site, reports reaching Taipei said Saturday.

Also, a farmer in the coastal village Puyan of Changhua County found pieces of paper and Styrofoam rained in his farm at about 5:00 p.m. The papers, which were torn from magazines as well as HongKong bank notes, landed in his farm seemed to be from the crashed China Airlines plane, the reports said.

Following the farmer's tips, the police then organized a large scale search around Puyan Saturday night and found more similar pieces of paper and Styrofoam.

The Hong Kong-bound aircraft, carrying 206 passengers and 19 crew members, plummeted into sea at some 25 nautical miles north of the island county of Penghu where is 45 kilometers away from the coast of Changhua, about 30 minutes later after taking off from Taiwan's international airport. No survivors were found thus far.
