The Kaohsiung Yellow Duck has successfully attracted crowds. Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang said today that every city has different characteristics. Congratulations to the Kaohsiung Yellow Duck for its success, but Keelung wants to build its own Ferris wheel as a highlight of the tourist city. This is an international Successful cases abound in the city, and this is what he has wanted to accomplish for more than ten years. The construction location and height will be professionally assessed and is expected to be completed during his tenure.

Recently, the location for the construction of the Keelung Ferris Wheel has sparked discussion. Some Democratic Progressive Party members believe that the National Gate Plaza is not suitable. Xie Guoliang explained today that as early as more than 10 years ago, when the Kuomintang was still in power, when he was a legislator, when the East Coast Terminal Building was rebuilt, it was considered to add a Ferris wheel to the building to attract tourists. After he took office as mayor, he actively planned and evaluated. The Transportation Department evaluated many locations, including Waimushan, Chaojing Park, East Bank, National Gate Plaza, etc. Later, he initially believed that the benefits of Guomen Plaza were relatively suitable, but the final location may not necessarily be the only one. In Guomen Square, professional evaluation is required in the follow-up.

Xie Guoliang said that Ferris wheels have begun to be built abroad from Dubai to Singapore, from New York to Paris, or have been completed, just to attract tourists, and the benefits have been proven to be very good. When cruise passengers get on and off the ship, they can have a Ferris wheel as a souvenir of their visit to Keelung, which can increase the sightseeing highlights. He has been pushing the Ferris wheel in this direction for a long time, not just a temporary thought.

“We will find the best location and height for construction,” Xie Guoliang said. He will continue to work hard on professional assessments, local communication, and comprehensive consideration of tourist attractions to complete the project during his term of office.

The yellow duck exhibition in Kaohsiung was successful. Some members suggested that Keelung could promote yellow ducks again. Xie Guoliang said that he was completely sure that Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai’s successful introduction of yellow ducks had brought benefits to Kaohsiung City, but he would rather build a permanent building in Keelung. As for sexual entertainment facilities, Keelung also successfully introduced the yellow duck in 2014, which also attracted a good crowd at that time, but “the yellow duck will eventually leave.”
