According to a report by Hong Kong China Review News on December 25, the new mayor of Taichung Lu Xiuyan was sworn in on the morning of the 25th and prepared 10,000 bottles of "Guguan Air" to give to citizens as souvenirs.
On December 25, the new mayors of Taiwan's "six cities" were sworn in. It is reported that the new mayor of Kaohsiung, Han Kuo-yu, prepared souvenirs for citizens such as hats, snacks, mineral water, and corporate-sponsored plum green tea, but was criticized as a "waste of money." The new mayor of Taichung, Lu Xiuyan, prepared 10,000 bottles of "Guguan Air" for citizens as souvenirs, which became a hotly discussed topic across Taiwan.

Guguan is located in Heping District, Taichung City. It is a well-known hot spring resort in Taiwan and the only aboriginal autonomous region in Taichung. It is rich in ecological resources because Dajia Creek flows through Guguan and there are many virgin forests. The air quality is very good.
Lu Xiuyan said that the souvenir represents her determination. In the next four years, she will fight against air pollution and let citizens take off their masks. This bottle of Guguan air will also remind the city government team not to forget its original intention and make every effort to improve the air pollution problem.
However, some people think this gift is very romantic, but many people think it is not environmentally friendly and a waste of money.
Some Taiwanese netizens even complained: "I'm curious, have these 10,000 bottles gone to Guguan?", "It turns out that Kaohsiung is not the most pitiful", "There are 10,000 more plastic bottles!", " is most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air ", "Suddenly the citizens of Kaohsiung seem less shameful."
