KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen co-organized the "Shancheng District Joint Political Briefing Session" with party city councilors Gu Xiuying and Wu Zhenjia yesterday afternoon. Thousands of villagers came to support the event. Jiang Qichen said that transportation construction, agricultural upgrading and cultural tourism will be used to drive local development, and he urged unity to increase votes at the end of the year, so that the mayor, councilors, and district chiefs can hit home runs and create a golden decade for Taichung.

Jiang Qichen said that for many years, he has fought for the construction of Dongshi, Shigang, Xinshe and Heping. From land coordination, funding to project advancement, every step has not been easy, but with the support of the villagers, no matter how difficult it is, we must break through. From the Fengyuan Tanzi section of National Highway No. 4 to the Dongshi-Fengyuan Life Circle Expressway, we need to open up transportation bottlenecks, make access to mountain cities safer, and provide more opportunities for development.

Jiang Qichen emphasized that the development of Taichung cannot rely on just one road or interchange. National highways, expressways and major arterial roads must be truly connected in series, with connection and transshipment services, and the transportation network must be improved to make the mountain city accessible and connect the entire Taichung.

Jiang Qichen pointed out that the mountain city has resources such as Hakka culture, Atayal culture, forestry culture, trail economy, hot springs and bicycle trails. It will continue to promote the construction of the Dongshi Hakka Cultural Park, promote the "Shanhe Valley Music Festival", connect the Dongfeng and Houfeng Railway Horse Trails with the marketing of agricultural products, make tourists willing to stay, drive local consumption, and promote the mountain city's good scenery, good culture and good products to the world.

Dongshi District Farmers' Association Director-General Tian Shixin and Chairman Liu Jinye, Shigang District Farmers' Association Director-General Zhang Donghai, New Community Farmers' Association Director-General Luo Wenzheng and Heping District Farmers' Association Director-General Xiao Jinmu, etc., and the Shancheng Farmers' Association system also came to support.
