He hopes to connect the Bamboo Miao Science and Technology Corridor with Yilan's development advantages and bring high-value, low-pollution potential industries to Yilan to take root.

Recently, he made a special trip to Gaohong'an, hoping that urban cooperation can be implemented from concepts to concrete actions.

Wu Zongxian said that Hsinchu is an important science and technology industry cluster in Taiwan, and Yilan has the Yilan Science Park, which has a vast hinterland and land price advantages.

Gao Hongan also promised to help match up some industries to move to Yilan to increase job opportunities. The two have full confidence in the future cooperation between Yilan and Hsinchu.
