That’s ridiculous! The Hsinchu City Government actually called for a temporary delay 6 days before the start of the event! The city government originally planned to hold the Urban Vision Exhibition from 10/3 to 10/18, but announced today that it will be postponed. The picture shows Mayor Gao Hongan (centre) recently held a press conference to announce the city vision exhibition activities.
That’s ridiculous! The Hsinchu City Government originally planned to hold the City Vision Exhibition from October 3 to October 18! The city government announced the postponement through a press release today, six days before the start of the event. The reason is that the Cultural and Creative Center venue has not yet obtained a license for use, and will be adjusted to December 5 to December 20 after the election. However, some people in the government revealed that fortunately the Vision Exhibition was postponed. Not only were the manufacturers’ exhibition not ready, but even the horizontal connections within the city government were unclear. If they really had to rush to hold the Vision Exhibition, they would probably open the skylight.
The city government issued a press release today stating that the "2026 Hsinchu City Vision Exhibition" was originally scheduled to be held on October 3. Since the cultural and creative center originally planned to be used has not yet completed the use license and related venue preparation procedures, taking into account the safety of visitors and staff, the city government decided to adjust the original exhibition period after an overall evaluation and will hold it from December 5 to December 20. We will continue to monitor the venue's legal procedures and preparation progress, and proceed after confirming that the venue meets legal, safe and complete conditions for use.
The city government explained that the "2026 Hsinchu City Vision Exhibition" was originally planned to be held at the Cultural and Creative Center. The city government discussed and obtained approval from Kangbo Company to provide a venue for the city to hold the city vision exhibition before completing the renovation and attracting investment. Currently, the relevant projects and legal procedures for the Cultural and Creative Center are still ongoing. Since the use license has not yet been obtained, the conditions for exhibition use are not yet met at this stage, so the city government decided to adjust the exhibition schedule. Subsequently, the venue project, usage license and related preparation progress will be monitored, and various work schedules such as curation, equipment, activities and publicity will be adjusted simultaneously. As for the performance matters and related expenses involved in the extension adjustment, they will be reviewed one by one in accordance with the contract and actual performance, and will be handled based on the principles of continuing to use existing curatorial achievements, avoiding unnecessary expenditures, and safeguarding public interests.
Mayor Gao Hongan just last week led Vice Mayor Lin Kunhan and Secretary-General Zhang Zhixiang to hold a press conference to announce that the "City Vision Exhibition" would be held on October 3 and invite citizens to participate. However, he only learned six days before the launch that the cultural and creative museum had not obtained a license. It is really an exaggeration to be suspected!
