The MRT is convenient and fast, and many counties and cities are striving to build it. Nantou County Magistrate Hsu Shu-hua said today at the opening ceremony of the Kuomintang mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen that Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan proposed the MRT Orange Line, and Nantou folks are also eagerly looking forward to it. Hope, Nantou County is planning to extend the Orange Line to Nantou. She hopes that Lu Xiuyan can be included in the plan after it is completed. She said there is no problem because the Orange Line of the MRT has been approved by the central government. In the future, she hopes that the Orange Line can be extended to Nantou.

The Central MRT has a green line that extends to Changhua and extends to Dakeng Changhua. However, Nantou County, which is also next door to Taichung City, also hopes that the Central MRT will also have a route that can be extended to Nantou, and the MRT Orange Line is from Taichung International Airport to Wufeng.

Nantou County Magistrate Xu Shuhua went to Taichung today to support Jiang Qichen, and also mentioned the extension of the China-Czech Orange Line. She said that the central government has established a joint governance platform for China and Taiwan, which combines the county and mayors of all eight counties and cities in the central government. Every month, they will discuss the needs of each county and city and how they can combine with each other through the central platform to give full play to the advantages of their own counties and cities. Everyone is working hard to do this.

Xu Shuhua said that someone just said that Taichung's Blue Line can be completed within eight years. Taichung is currently planning multiple MRT projects, and Nantou people are also eagerly looking forward to whether the Orange Line will also have the opportunity to be extended to Nantou.

Xu Shuhua said that the Nantou County Government also had a plan. After the plan was completed, she asked Lu Xiuyan if she could include the plan. She said it was no problem because the Orange Line project had been approved by the central government and she hoped to agree to extend the Orange Line to Nantou in the future.
