The new three-dimensional corridor around the Shui-Nan Convention and Exhibition Center in Taichung City cost NT$600 million. The Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen participated in the groundbreaking ceremony today (9th). His opponent, the Democratic Progressive Party Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun, was not invited to attend. He Xinchun said, "Citizens expect urban development without distinction of color." If elected as the mayor of Taichung, he will invite KMT members to participate in the completion and opening ceremony.

The three-dimensional corridor around the Shui-Nan Convention and Exhibition and Transfer Center is expected to be completed in June 2029, three years later. Jiang Qichen was invited by the city government to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony today (9th). The project connects the Shui-Nan Transfer Center and the 2nd floor pedestrian bridge of the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center, eliminating the need for people to go to the first floor first. After getting out of the outdoor troubles, He Xinchun rushed to the West District in the morning for a convoy to sweep the streets. Before setting off, he was asked, "The city government invited Vice President Jiang, but not you (to attend the groundbreaking ceremony)." He Xinchun replied, "What are the city government's invitation standards? I don't know." He has always said that he respects the city government's arrangements.

He Xinchun said that the Shui-Nan Transfer Center spent nearly 5 billion yuan to build, but the results are not good now. There is a lot of idle space and insufficient supporting facilities. She has been actively advocating for improvement. Hardware engineering and operational supporting facilities are the focus of public concern. There is no color in major municipal construction, and there is no color in citizens' expectations for urban development. If elected as the mayor of Taichung, she will invite KMT members to participate.
