On the afternoon of the 23rd, Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang went to the Wufenpu business district where he grew up to sweep the streets and pray for votes. He also went to Songshan to visit the An Temple to pray for blessings. Many people flocked to the event, and images of the crowds sparked heated discussions after being exposed on social media platforms.

According to the latest Taipei mayor poll, Shen Boyang's support has narrowed significantly, and he is currently only 1.2 percentage points behind the current mayor Chiang Wanan, and the election is in a stalemate. Although the overall poll is closer, in Songshan Xinyi District, Shen Boyang still trails Jiang Wanan with 31.6% support, which is 48.1%. In the afternoon, Shen Boyang made a special plan to return to the Fenfenpu business district where he grew up to sweep the streets. He also went to Songshan to pay homage to Jin'an Temple, appealing for local connections and gaining recognition and support from local folks.

During the visit, many supporters and onlookers gathered around Jinan Palace in Songshan. Some people shared footage of the scene on the social platform Threads. They said that there were so many people in front of the temple and their view was blocked. They said that there were so many people that they could not see at all. They revealed that they had been waiting for more than an hour and still could not get an autograph. They said that it was extremely difficult to get close. They might have to try their luck in the alleys of Wufenpu business district instead.

After the exposure of the picture, it triggered a discussion. Netizens left messages and exclaimed: "On weekdays, why are there so many idle people in Taipei City?", "Why don't you have to go to work at this time, right?", "Oh, it doesn't mean that Shen Boyang only goes to the night market, this is not a night market, right?", "I really want to be a cockroach mouse", "No, at this time, why are there so many people?"
