Bridges connect people, places & memories. So does cooperation between #NewTaipeiCity & #TaipeiCity. Following the rebuilt #ZhongzhengBridge, we restored #ChuanDuanBridge, preserving its iconic arches & flood prevention measures while adding leisure space & nighttime light art.

In my final policy address as mayor, I reflected on 8 years of serving @NewTaipeiGov. Actions have always mattered more than words. Major projects, including new metro lines, #NewTaipeiDome, Banqiao Medical Park, etc., will keep moving forward. We won't stop. We'll keep building.

A quick visit to #Taitung reminded me of the dedication of Magistrate Yao Ching-ling (@Taitungaprilyao) & the lasting contributions of #StanleyYen. As Taitung & @NewTaipeiGov prepare for the National Day fireworks & gala, we're proud to work together to showcase #Taiwan's beauty.
