The construction of the South Branch of the National Palace Museum in Taipei was originally an important "achievement project" put forward by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to solve the so-called "unbalanced development between the north and the south of the island". However, since the opening of the South Campus of the Forbidden City at the end of 20 15, its actual operation has been repeatedly questioned. According to the Hong Kong China Rating Society, some people in Taiwan Province disclosed for the first time at the meeting of the Taiwan Province Provincial Legislature that even if the South Campus of the Forbidden City held free opening activities, it would only attract more than 1500 tourists every day, while the authorities in Taiwan Province Province had spent nearly 8 billion yuan (NTD, the same below) to build a museum.

Lin Zhengyi, president of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, attended the meeting of the legislature of Taiwan Province authorities and accepted questions from representatives of public opinion. Some citizens said that after browsing the admission data of the "South Courtyard of the Forbidden City", he found that in a certain month last year, the daily average number of visitors to the museum was only 3,906. What is even more exaggerated is that during the "Taiwan Province Culture Day" in June 65438+1October 65438+July this year, even though the museum introduced the free opening policy, only 1554 tourists visited that day. The people's generation immediately questioned: "No one even watches it for free. What should I do? " In this regard, Lin Zhengyi did not make a specific response, but vaguely stated that she would launch the so-called "New Forbidden City Plan" and put forward empty slogans of "international artistry" and "local publicity".

In addition, it has also been pointed out that the overall income of the National Palace Museum in Taipei has been greatly reduced in recent years because Luke no longer comes to visit. However, the authorities are still obsessed with the so-called "new southward" policy, and the attracted Southeast Asian tourists can't fill the gap between the number of people left by the land passengers and the consumption. How should the National Palace Museum in Taipei face up to the above problems? In response to a question from the Democratic Progressive Party, Lin Zhengyi argued that the number of Japanese and Korean visitors to the National Palace Museum in Taipei has increased significantly. However, he also admitted that the fact that Luke didn't travel to Taiwan Province Province did have a great impact on the income of the Forbidden City.

According to the data, the so-called "South Courtyard of the Forbidden City" is located in Chiayi County in the south of Taiwan Province Province. Built in 200 1, it was a construction project strongly supported by Chen Shui-bian, then leader of Taiwan Province authorities. Due to the chaotic bidding procedures and changeable policies of the Taiwan authorities, the museum did not officially start construction until 20 13, during which it spent nearly NT$ 8 billion. In addition, the museum is located in a remote place, and the traffic is inconvenient, which also affects tourists' willingness to visit. Some politicians in Taiwan Province Province have previously disclosed that the reason why the Bian authorities chose Chiayi as the address of the "South Courtyard of the Forbidden City" has a lot to do with the region's long-term support for Democratic Progressive Party in the election.
