I love visiting #Jiufen, where the mountains meet the sea in a pretty little town with warm, friendly people & internationally famous scenery. @eballgogogo & I had a lot of fun visiting traditional Old Street, eating local specialties & enjoying our new post-#COVID19 lifestyle.

I was invited to visit a special exhibition on children’s rights at the National #HumanRights Museum. The kids' energy & spirit reaffirmed my conviction: My most important task as President is to make every generation of Taiwanese confident about our future & ourselves.

#NightMarkets & street food are essential parts of daily life in #Taiwan, & they’re also an integral part of our economy. Our "triple stimulus" voucher program & travel subsidy plans will bring people back to their favourite spots to enjoy some fun, good vibes & delicacies.

Around the world, there are 365 days in a year. Yet in China, one of those days is purposely forgotten each year. In Taiwan, there were once days missing from our calendar, but we’ve worked to bring them to light. I hope one day China can say the same.

Today I had the opportunity to meet some of our bravest men & women in uniform, our paratroopers. Their courage in the line of duty each day strengthens #Taiwan’s defense capabilities and our ability to provide emergency rescue & relief services.

I was proud to attend the launch ceremony today for #Taiwan’s first domestically developed 4,000-tonne offshore patrol vessel. This gives our Coast Guard an advanced, fully equipped frigate that will help protect the nation & provide humanitarian assistance on the high seas.

The 24-hour Dunnan Eslite was a landmark of Taiwanese bookstore culture, & I speak for all book lovers in #Taiwan when I say that it will be sorely missed. But I’m sure the Eslite legacy will live on in Taiwan’s vibrant culture of freedom, openness, & diversity.
