Taipei, Feb. 16 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Friday visited Yuhuang Temple in Pingtung City, where she greeted other worshipers and distributed red envelopes in celebration of the Lunar New Year of the Dog.

When Tsai arrived at the temple in southern Taiwan, more than 1,000 people were already waiting in long lines to welcome her.

She was accompanied by Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全), Pingtung County Magistrate Pan Men-an (潘孟安) and several legislators of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.

Asked whether she was planning to proceed to her hometown of Fengkang in Pingtung County, Tsai said she would return there sometime after the Lunar New Year holiday when the traffic would be less congested.    [FULL  STORY]
