TAIPEI–The Presidential Office opened its new permanent exhibition on Sunday, the first time a section of the office building has been open to public since the new government took office on May 20.

The new exhibition with the theme of “Power to the People” opened in the office’s renovated permanent exhibition space during a ceremony hosted by Lin Bih-jaw (林碧炤), secretary general of the Presidential Office.

Although the office building was set to open at 9 a.m., visitors lined up around 7 a.m. to enter the building.

As of 10 a.m., the number of visitors has breached the 1,000 mark.

A man from Hukou in Hsinchu County, surnamed Peng, was the first visitor. He said he had departed from his home at 4 a.m.

A woman, surnamed Hsu, who described herself as a “super fan” of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), said she left her home around 6 a.m. and this was her first time to visit the Presidential Office Building. She was looking forward to meeting Tsai later that day, if the chance emerged, Hsu said.     [FULL  STORY]
